side before the middle. The lateral lobes of the last 
ly curved, rounded at the apex; the central sheath 
e extreme apex abruptly widening 
3. Anterior tibiee subangularly widened on the inner 
ventral segment moderately long, thin, and inward 
rather broad, the apical portion horizontal and narrowing behind, th 
out on each side and almost truncate. (Fig. 10 a.) 
Length 82-9 millim.; breadth 3-33 millim. (d 2 ) 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 3000 feet (Champion). 
Four examples. ZL. viridipennis, as will be seen from the description, is not very 
nearly allied to any other species noticed here ; it comes nearest to L. obsoleta. 
A closely allied undescribed form, from Chanchamayo, Peru, is contained in Mr. F. 
Bates’s collection. 
40. Lobopoda eneipennis. (Tab. XVIII. figg. 11, 11a.) 
Moderately elongate, rather convex, brownish-black, the elytra wneous in tint, slightly shining, glabrous. 
Head with scattered fine punctures; eyes very large and approximate in the male, smaller and rather 
widely separated in the female; prothorax convex, the sides straight or a little sinuate behind, the hind 
angles subrectangular, the disc very shallowly transversely impressed in the middle before the base, the 
basal fove rather deep, the surface finely and somewhat closely punctured; elytra moderately long, 
a little rounded at the sides, somewhat rapidly narrowing from about the basal third, with rather 
coarsely and not very closely punctured deep stria, the interstices moderately convex throughout and 
impunctate; beneath brownish-piceous, the metasternum coarsely punctured, the ventral surface with 
exceedingly fine scattered punctures and very shallow longitudinal wrinkles; legs sparsely pilose, fusco- 
ferruginous, the femora darker; antenne ferruginous. 
3. Anterior tibia subangularly widened on the inner side before the middle. The lateral lobes of the last 
ventral segment narrow but rather stout, moderately long, strongly curved, the apices blunt; the central 
sheath acuminate, the apex a little widened and bluntly rounded. (Figg. il, 11.) 
Length 71-84 millim. ; breadth 2?-3 millim. (¢ 9.) 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 3000 feet (Champion). 
Four examples. ZL. eneipennis closely resembles L. obsoleta; it differs in the thorax 
being more convex, and in the elytra being of a more eneous tint, with deeper and less 
finely punctured strie, and more convex interstices. 
*** Upper surface brownish-black, the elytra sometimes lighter in tint ; form oblong. 
41. Lobopoba cariniventris. 
Moderately elongate, rather convex, brownish-black, the elytra dark castaneous, moderately shining, glabrous. 
Head with a few very fine widely scattered punctures; eyes moderately large and narrowly separated in 
the male, much smaller and widely separated in the female ; prothorax convex, the sides almost straight or a 
little sinuate behind, the hind angles rectangular or subacute, the disc slightly transversely depressed at 
the base between the moderately deep foves, the surface very finely and very sparsely punctured (in one 
example rather more closely so); elytra about as wide at the middle as at the base, gradually narrowed 
behind, with deep and moderately coarsely punctured striz, the interstices slightly convex and impunctate ; 
beneath more shining, the ventral surface almost impunctate but with very shallow longitudinal wrinkles, 
the metasternum longitudinally impressed in the middle behind and with coarse scattered punctures all 
over; legs sparsely pilose, brownish-piceous, the tarsi ferruginous ; antenne testaceous. 
g. Anterior tibiee a little widened on the inner side before the middle; the metasternal depression deep,
