HADROMERUS. 183 
locality “Costa Rica” is doubtful. The long series from Quiché was captured in 
August 1880. 
2. Hadromerus dejeani. (‘Tab. VII. fig. 27, 2.) 
Hadromerus dejeanii, Boh. in Schénh. Gen. Cure. vi. 1, p. 293". 
Moderately elongate, black; densely clothed with rather large, subimbricate, glittering intermixed green 
and golden scales, with blue and cupreous reflections, and also set with fine, scattered, inconspicuous 
erect hairs, which become longer on the apical declivity of the elytra, the suture with longer hairs 
towards the apex in 9. Head and rostrum together about as long as the prothorax, the rostrum 
canaliculate and broadly flattened or feebly depressed down the middle; antennal club about as long 
as joints 1-5 of the funiculus, the two basal joints of the latter subequal in length. Elytra rather 
finely seriate-punctate, the interstices each with from three to five rows of scales and with a scattered 
irregular series of very small, bare, smooth spots. Legs densely squamose and pilose; anterior femora 
subangulate before the apex within; anterior tibie sharply unguiculate in ¢, more feebly so in 9, the 
intermediate pair also with a small claw in ¢. 
Length 7-9, breadth 24-4 millim. (¢ 9.) 
Hab. Mexico (Mus. Brit.), Playa Vicente, Cordova (Hoge), Jalapa (U.S. Nat. Mus.), 
El Camaron (Sallé), Vera Cruz 1. 
Of this species, the type of which has been compared with the examples from 
El Camaron in the Sallé collection by Dr. Sharp, we have received a long series from 
Playa Vicente. There is very little variation in the general colour of the scales, which 
are so large as to be subimbricate, though they are a little smaller on the elytra in the 
g than in the 2. ‘The fine sete on the upper surface are conspicuous on the apical 
declivity only. Boheman also gives! California as a locality, probably in error. 
8. Hadromerus micans, sp.n. (Tab. VII. figg. 28, 28a, 2.) 
. Elongate, rather broad, black; densely clothed with small, scintillating, green and golden scales, with 
cupreous and bluish reflections, and also set with fine, scattered, long, erect hairs, which become still 
longer along the suture towards the apex. Head and rostrum together about as long as the prothorax, 
the rostrum canaliculate and moderately excavate; antenne with joint 2 of the funiculus a little longer 
than 1, the club as long as 3-7 united. Prothorax very finely, closely punctate. Elytra long and 
broad, subparallel, flattened on the dise anteriorly, with prominent tumid humeri; finely seriate-punctate, 
the interstices flat, each with from five to seven closely packed rows of scales, and with a series of 
rather large, somewhat closely placed, polished, glabrous spots. Legs densely squamose and pilose; 
anterior tibiee denticulate and sharply unguiculate. 
Length 123-14, breadth 43-54, millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Puebla (Crawford, in Mus. Brit.) ; Guaremaua, Purula in Vera Paz 
(Champion). 
Two specimens. Larger and broader than 7. scintillans, with a longer second joint 
to the funiculus, more prominent humeri, and larger polished bare spots along the 
elytral interstices, the scales small and closely packed. 
4. Hadromerus opalinus. (Tab. VII. figg. 29, ¢; 30, ¢, var.) 
Hadromerus opalinus, Horn, Proc. Am. Phil. Soe. xv. p. 85°. 
Elongate, black, the antenne and legs sometimes wholly or in part ferruginous ; densely clothed with rather
