2. Elytra striate-punctate, the punctures continued to the apex. 
3 Eustrophopsis ochraceus. (Tab. IV. figg. 6; 6a, labium; 6 4, maxilla and 
maxillary palpus; 6c, mandible; 6d, outline of pro- and mesosternal processes. ) 
Eustrophas ochraceus (sic), Motsch. Bull. Soc. Imp. Mose. xlv. pt. 2, p. 42 (1878). 
Kustrophus rufus, Chevr. in coll. Sallé. 
Ovate, broad, unicolorous, varying in colour from castaneous to fulvous or ochraceous, the surface shining and 
thickly clothed with brownish or fulvous pubescence. Antenne moderately long, joints 1-4 and 11 flavous 
or testaceous, 5-10 black; eyes very large, narrowly separated; prothorax very finely punctured, the 
basal foves shallow and with a few coarser punctures; elytra finely striate-punctate, the punctures 
becoming finer posteriorly, but continued to the apex, the interstices closely and finely punctured; beneath 
finely and closely punctured, varying in colour—in dark-coloured individuals fulvo-castaneous with the 
metasternum stained with piceous, in light-coloured ones entirely flavo-testaceous; prosternum broad 
and parallel between the coxe, the apex very deeply and angularly emarginate; legs fusco-testaceous or 
testaceous. 
Length 63-73 millim.; breadth 33-42 millim.

Many specimens. This insect is very widely distributed in Tropical America. The 
three examples before me from the Amazons agree perfectly with the others from our 
region; and there is little doubt that these are referable to Motschulsky’s species. The 
eyes are less approximate than in /. nigromaculatus, and the antenne are also consi- 
derably shorter. Motschulsky gives the length as 33 lines. 
3. Elytra striate-punctate, the punctures not distinctly continued to the apex. 
4, Kustrophopsis discoideus. (Tab. IV. fig. 7.) 
Ovate, moderately broad, reddish-testaceous, the prothorax with a large patch on the basal half of the disc 
(interrupted down the middle by a stripe of the ground-colour), and the elytra with the disc broadly from 
a little below the base nearly to the apex (leaving a broad margin on all sides of the ground-colour), black, 
the surface shining and thickly clothed with fulvous pubescence. Antenne moderately long, joints 1-5 
testaceous, the apical half of 11 yellow, the rest black, 5-11 moderately dilated ; eyes very large, approxi- 
mate; prothorax very finely and shallowly punctured, the basal fovez scarcely indicated ; elytra very finely 
striate-punctate, the punctures not distinct to the apex, the interstices closely and finely punctured 
(much more distinctly so than the prothorax); beneath reddish-castaneous, the metasternum a little 
darker, closely and finely punctured; prosternum parallel between the coxe, the apex deeply and angularly 
emarginate ; legs reddish-testaceous. a 
Length 52-6 millim.; breadth 33 millim. 
Hab. GuaTEMALA, Zapote (Champion). 
Two examples. ‘This species differs from the others of the genus here noticed not 
only in the colour of the upper surface, but in having the elytra very finely striate- 
-punctate, the punctures on the apical portion of the disc not distinct from those of the 
interstices; the antenne have the five basal joints and the outer half of the apical 
one flavous.
