ATTELABUS. 15 
Joints 3 to 7 of the antenne long ; head elongate ; eyes very distant from the thorax, 
the space between them convex, bearing a short groove. Median groove of the thorax 
moderately deep. Scutellum rather narrow, triangular, with the apex truncate. 
Elytra with coarse impressions of irregular form, subseriately arranged, deeply sulcate 
on the pre-apical declivity, each in front of the middle with a small, round, pellucid 
yellow spot. Front legs very long: in the male the tooth on the middle of the front 
femur is extremely elongate, and is curved; in the female there is in its place merely a 
tubercle, but the apical tooth is longer than it is in the male. 
Mr. Champion procured a series of twelve examples at Purula, and these exhibit 
very little variation; we have only one or two representatives from each of the other 
localities, and each of them differs more or less from the typical examples, so it is 
probable there may be considerable local variation in the species. ‘The two specimens 
from the State of Panama have the sculpture of the elytra much less deep, the pellucid 
spots a little larger, and the middle groove of the thorax subobsolete. 
34. Attelabus mundanus, sp. n. 
Sat elongatus, rufo-piceus, nitidus; antennis pedibusque anterioribus elongatis ; elytris grosse irregulariterque 
 -punctatis. 
Long. 64 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Cordova (Sallé); Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
Intermediate in some respects between A. binotatus and A. cruralis, but differing 
from both by the complete absence of the pellucid spot on the wing-cases; the sculp- 
ture of these parts is remarkably coarse, deep, and irregular. The armature of the 
front legs in the two sexes differs but little from that of A. denotatus. 
Three examples from Mexico, one from the State of Panama. 
35. Attelabus inezequalis, sp.n. (Tab. I. fig. 14, 2.) 
Elongatus, cneus, rugosus ; elytrorum lateribus utrinque spina grande ornatis ; femoribus ad basin flavis. 
Long. 64 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Playa Vicente (Sad/é); Brrtish Honpuras, R. Hondo (Blancaneuz) ; 
GuaTEMALA, Coban (Conradt); Nicaragua, Chontales (Janson). 
Head elongate, rugose. Thorax with the anterior and posterior transverse grooves 
definite, the middle ones more indefinite, the surface rugose. Scutellum subtriangular, its 
apical portion convex, obscurely truncate. Elytra coarsely and irregularly sculptured, 
brassy, shining; each about the middle of the length of the side furnished with a very 
large spine directed outwards and very slightly upwards, and between this and the suture 
is an angular elevation. Front legslonger in the male than in the female, the femora 
bidentate in each sex; in the male the tooth on the middle is equal to that nearer the 
apex, but in the female this tooth is represented by a tubercle. 
Twelve examples. The figure is taken from a female example found at Chontales. 
This species belongs to a group the representatives of which are chiefly Antillean.
