12 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
III. Anterior femora unidentate or bidentate. (Kuscelus, Germ.) 
A. Thorax without constriction behind front margin. 
26. Attelabus corallinus. 
Attelabus corallinus, Gyll. in Schénh. Gen. et Spec. Cure. v. p. 317°. 
Hab. Mexico (Chevrolat!), Teapa (H. H. Smith, Sallé), Oaxaca, Chilpancingo (Hége), 
Rio Papagaio (H. H. Smith); Guatemaua, Las Mercedes, Mirandilla, Panima, Senahu 
(Champion). 
Gyllenhal’s description was based on a male example; the female has two small 
tubercles instead of one tooth on the front femur. The examples I refer to A. corallinus 
show a good deal of variation, and there may be more than one species among them ; 
but as we have only received one or two examples from each locality, I can form no 
certain opinion on this point. 
27. Attelabus bullatus, sp. n. 
Sat elongatus, rufus ; prothorace, elytris, tibiis omnibus femoribusque quatuor posterioribus testaceis ; elytris ad 
suturam rufo-signatis, ad basin utrinque bulla elongata elevata, fere impunctatis. 
Long. 53 millim. 
Hab. GuatEMALA, Sinanja in Vera Paz (Champion). 
Rostrum short, punctate; eyes not very remote from the thorax, moderately promi- 
nent, the space separating them rather broad, sulcate in the middle. ‘Thorax shining, 
smooth, of a livid yellow colour above, with an angulate depression extending completely 
across it and on each flank with an oblique impression. Scutellum large, triangular, with 
the apex truncate. Elytra rather elongate, of a yellow colour, red along the suture, 
and with an indistinct red transverse mark in front of the posterior declivity; at the 
base on each side of the scutellum is an oval elevation, and between the elevations are 
some obscure punctures, elsewhere impunctate. Legs yellow, with the front femora 
red, except at the base, the middle and hind femora marked with red beneath. 
Described from a single example of the male sex. The front femur has a rather long 
tooth near the extremity, and a tubercle near the middle; the ventral segments are 
deplanate and densely covered with pubescence. 
28. Attelabus auratus, sp.n. (Tab. I. fig. 9, ¢.) 
Sat elongatus, rufus; pedibus testaceis, femoribus anterioribus late rufescentibus; elytris testaceis (in vita 
auratis), rufo-marginatis signatisque, ad basin utrinque bulla elevata, pone scutellum punctatis. 
Long. 54 millim. 
Hab. GuateMaLa, Cerro Zunil 4000 feet (Champion). 
Antenne pale red, the club elongate. Rostrum short, the head moderately long, the 
eyes convex, separated by a narrow space which is deeply sulcate above. Thorax rather
