HYMENORUS. 427 
g. Anterior tibiz simple. The lateral lobes of the last ventral segment rather long, thin, broad, and spoon- 
shaped, broadly rounded at the apex; the central sheath rather broad, gradually narrowing, the apical 
portion long and elongate-triangular in shape, the apex blunt. (Fig. 19.) 
Length 8-84 millim.; breadth 24-22 millim. (¢ 9.) 
Hab. Guatemaua, Calderas 6000 feet, Capetillo (Champion). 
Numerous examples. In the male of this insect the legs are very stout, and the 
tarsal lobes are more broadly dilated than in the female. ZH. tarsalis is closely allied 
to. H. oculatus, though differing greatly in the size of the eyes and in the tarsal 
structure in the male; in the last-named sex of H. oculatus the legs are not stouter 
and the tarsi not more broadly lobed than in the female of H. tarsalis. This insect 
inhabits the slopes of the Volcan de Fuego, and was obtained by beating the lower 
branches of trees. 
5. Hymenorus oculatus. (Tab. XIX. figg. 20, 20a, 3.) 
Elongate, subparallel, brownish-black, slightly shining, thickly pubescent. Head closely and finely punctured ; 
eyes (3) very large, very narrowly separated; antenne (¢) long, about reaching to the middle of the 
elytra, the joints somewhat strongly widened towards their apex, fusco-ferruginous, the two basal joints 
lighter; prothorax rather convex, broader than long, the sides gradually converging from the base to 
about the middle and then rounded and more rapidly narrowing to the apex, the bind angles rather 
obtuse, the basal foves indistinct, the disc slightly depressed in the middle before the base, the surface 
densely and finely punctured; scutellum closely punctured; elytra moderately long, a little wider than 
the prothorax, subparallel to beyond the middle, finely punctate-striate, the interstices almost flat and 
finely and rather closely punctured; beneath more shining, finely and rather closely punctured; legs long 
and rather slender, ferruginous, the tibie darker. 
3. Anterior tibie simple. The lateral lobes of the last ventral segment broad and thin, spoon-shaped, and 
broadly rounded at the apex; the central sheath with its apical portion long, parallel towards the end, 
the apex bluntly rounded. (Fig. 20) a.) 
Length 64-94 millim.; breadth 23-23 millim. (<.) 
Hab. Mexico, Jalapa (Hége) ; Guatemaa, San Lucas (Champion). 
Two male examples. This insect may be identified by its elongate, subparallel 
shape, very large and approximate eyes, &c. ‘The Guatemalan example is very much 
larger, and has the elytra longer than the Mexican one, but otherwise agrees well 
with it. HA. oculatus much resembles the genus Dircea. 
The Guatemalan specimen was found by the side of the main road on the summit of 
the ridge between the city of Guatemala and Antigua, beneath loose bark, at an 
elevation of 6400 feet. 
6. Hymenorus sordidus. (Tab. XIX. fig. 22.) 
Elongate, reddish- or piceous-brown, slightly shining, thickly pubescent. Head very closely and rather coarsely 
punctured; eyes (¢) very large, narrowly separated ; antenne ( 3) moderately long, rather stout, entirely 
ferruginous ; prothorax convex, broader than long, the sides almost straight behind, or very gradually 
and obliquely converging from the base to the middle, and rounded and rapidly narrowing in front, the 
hind angles subrectangular, the disc obsoletely canaliculate behind, and shallowly transversely impressed 
in the middle before the base, the basal fovee indistinct, the surface densely and finely punctured ; 
scutellum closely punctured; elytra moderately long, a little wider than the prothorax, subparallel in
