ATTELABUS. . 3) 
9. Attelabus rudis. 
Aitelabus rudis, Boh. in Schénh. Gen. et Spec. Cure. viii. p. 360°. 
Hab. Mexico (Sturm). 
This may possibly be a small variety of the female of A. vestitus. 
10. Attelabus vinosus, sp. n. 
Rufo-obscurus, pube pallescente sat dense vestitus; prothorace elytrisque fortius sculpturatis; scutello sub- 
quadrato, haud transverso. 
Long. 53 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Totosinapam, Capulalpam (Sallé), Jalapa (H6ége); GUATEMALA, Quiche 
Mountains 7000 to 8000 feet (Champion). 
Closely allied to A. vestitus, but distinguished by the dark vinous-red colour 
and the much more evident sculpture. The sexual distinctions, except in the front 
legs, are slight. The rostrum is quite short, thick, the head broad, the eyes placed 
nearly midway between the front of the thorax and the mouth. The thorax is rather 
coarsely and irregularly sculptured, without any transverse groove. The elytra are even, 
scarcely at all depressed behind the scutellum, rather coarsely and irregularly sculptured, 
the striation quite visible. The front femora are entirely unarmed. 
A specimen of this species in Sallé’s collection from Sturm’s cabinet is labelled 
A. cinnamomeus, Sturm; but as this name is not a suitable one—being much more 
applicable to the closely allied A. vestitus—I have not used it. The four Mexican 
examples before me are all in a bad state of preservation ; the description therefore is 
taken from the Guatemalan exponents, six in number. 
11. Attelabus axillaris. (Tab. I. fig. 4, 2.) 
Attelabus axillaris, Gyll. in Schonh. Gen. et Spec. Cure. v. p. 308°. 
Hab. Mexico, between Oaxaca and Acapulco !, Parada, Yolos (Sal/é), Playa Vicente 
(Hoge); GUATEMALA, near the city, San Gerénimo (Champion). 
This insect shows considerable variation in size and sculpture, but I believe the 
nine examples before me really represent one species. In some specimens the front 
tibize are bimucronate at the apex; these I consider to be females. 
C. Eyes but little separated, the space between them sulcate or carinate ; surface 
without pubescence. (Xestolabus, Jekel.) 
12. Attelabus heterocerus, sp. n. 
Nudus, nigerrimus, nitidus, elytris singulis plaga magna humerali rufa; antennis articulis 2°-8™ piceis, clava 
elongata sed cum articulo ultimo minuto. 
Long. cum rostro 5 millim. 
Hab, Mexico, Amula and Chilpancingo in Guerrero (H. AH. Smith).
