LOBOPODA. 403 
Three male examples. This species is allied to Z. levicollis, from which it differs in 
its much more closely punctured thorax, and the very differently shaped cedeagus. 
29. Lobopoda parvula. (Tab. XVIII. fig. 3.) 
Moderately elongate, subfusiform, piceous-black, rather dull, thickly pubescent. Head with scattered coarsish 
punctures; eyes large and subapproximate in the male, narrowly separated in the female; prothorax 
convex in front, the sides straight behind, the hind angles rectangular, the disc obsoletely canaliculate, 
and shallowly impressed before the base, the basal foves moderately deep, the surface moderately closely 
and somewhat coarsely punctured; elytra gradually narrowing from a little below the base, with closely 
punctured shallow strie, the interstices feebly convex, almost flat on the basal half of the disc, and 
shallowly and finely punctured; beneath coarsely and sparsely punctured, more closely so on the hinder 
part of the metasternum in the male; legs and antenne brownish-piceous, the tarsi lighter. 
3. Anterior tibis slightly widened on the inner side before the middle. The lateral lobes of the last 
ventral segment rather short, curved, and somewhat thickened at the apex; the central sheath narrow and 
neuptnate. (Fig. 3.) 
Length 77-8 millim.; breadth 24-3 millim. (¢ @.) 
Hab. Mexico, Cordova (Sallé), Jalapa (Hoge). 
Five examples. ZL. parvula in its general shape resembles L. levicollis; but differs 
in its much smaller size, duller surface, more lightly impressed and more finely punc- 
tured elytral strie, flatter and more finely punctured interstices, and very differently 
shaped cedeagus. 
30. Lobopoda minuta. (Tab. XVIII. fig. 4.) 
Moderately elongate, rather convex, brownish-piceous, shining, sparsely pubescent. Head with scattered 
punctures; eyes large and subapproximate in the male; prothorax convex, coarsely and rather closely 
punctured, the disc shallowly transversely impressed before the base, the basal foveew rather deep and 
extending forwards, the hind angles subacute; elytra narrowing from a little below the base, with 
coarsely punctured rather deep striz, the interstices slightly convex and sparsely but comparatively 
coarsely punctured; beneath somewhat coarsely and rather closely punctured; legs and antenne fusco- 
ferruginous, the femora darker. 
g. Anterior tibie angularly widened on the inner side before the middle. The lateral lobes of the last ventral 
segment rather short, and curved inwards, the apices blunt, the inner edges finely serrate ; the central 
sheath narrow and acuminate. (Tig. 4.) 
Length 6 millim.; breadth 2; millim. (¢.) 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
One male example. This is one of the smallest known species of the genus; it 
resembles L. apicalis, L. atrata, &c., in its general shape. ‘The four basal joints of the 
anterior tarsi are only very feebly lobed beneath. 
31. Lobopoda tenuicornis. (Tab. XVIII. figg. 5, 5a, ¢.) 
Moderately elongate, brownish-piceous, rather dull, the elytra slightly shining, thickly pubescent. Head 
comparatively broad, with scattered rather coarse punctures; eyes very large and approximate in the 
male, much smaller and widely separated in the female; antenne ferruginous, long, very slender, joints 
4-11 each widest at the middle; prothorax widest at the base, the sides somewhat rapidly converging 
from the acute hind angles, the disc almost unimpressed, the basal fovez very shallow, the surface very 
shallowly, rather closely, and somewhat finely punctured, the punctures on the disc exceedingly shallow
