EXOPHTHALMUS. 253 
punctures (those on the albo-squamose portion of the surface appearing minute), the interstices almost 
flat. Tibize without denticles, the anterior pair strongly unguiculate. 
Length 17-22, breadth 62-92 millim. (¢ @.) 
Hab. Mexico (Mus. Brit.), Playa Vicente (Sallé), Atoyac in Vera Cruz (H. H. 
Smith). 
Eight specimens, A remarkably distinct form, long known in collections under 
one or the other of the above-quoted MS. names. The elytra are sharply fasciate 
with black and white, the first white fascia curving forwards along the suture to the 
base, the others transverse. The antenne are more slender at the base than in 
LH. nicaraquensis. 
3. Exophthalmus ornatus, sp.n. (Tab. XI. fig. 5, 2.) 
Q@. Very like the Mexican Z. fasciatus, but differing as follows :—The head, rostrum, legs, and under surface 
rather sparsely clothed with narrow, hair-like scales intermixed with long hairs, the scales towards the 
sides of the body beneath oval in shape; the prothorax with a sharply defined, posteriorly widened, 
oblique vitta on each side composed of imbricate, yellowish-white, oval scales, the intervening space on 
the disc with scattered blackish hair-like scales; the elytra with the curved yellowish-white band 
continued round the black humeral patch in front and the common subapical black fascia divided at the 
suture. Rostrum with the median carina flattened and less acute, the fine oblique carina on each side 
of it obsolete; the inter-ocular fovea small; antenne a little shorter, joints 1 and 2 of the funiculus equal 
in length. Prothorax subconical, broader than long, coarsely, confluently foveolate on the disc. Elytra 
less depressed along the suture at the base, the humeri not so prominent. 
Length 183, breadth 8 millim. 
Hab. GuateMaLa, Coban in Alta Vera Paz (Champion). 
One specimen, in very fresh condition. This is the Guatemalan representative of 
the Mexican (Vera Cruz) £. fasciatus, and it is best treated as a separate species. 
4, Exophthalmus interpositus, sp.n. (Tab. XI. figg. 6, 6a.) 
Oblong, rufo-piceous ; variegated with a rather dense clothing of brownish-ochreous and whitish scales, the 
latter condensed into two faint curved vitta on the prothorax and two interrupted or faint transverse 
fasciee on the elytra, and also set with rather long, fine, scattered, semierect sete, the larger elytral 
punctures each bearing a minute scale. Head and rostrum rugulosely punctate, the rostrum broad, a 
little longer than wide, flattened, and with a smoother bare median line; eyes moderately large, feebly 
convex; antennal scape reaching to just beyond the eyes. Prothorax broader than long, rather 
convex, rounded at the sides, subtruncate at the base; densely, finely punctate, with scattered coarser 
punctures intermixed, the disc with an abbreviated narrow median sulcus. Scutellum rather large. 
Elytra elongate-triangular, feebly mucronate at the tip, flattened on the disc anteriorly ; with rows of 
rather coarse punctures which become interrupted or sinuously diverted for some distance before and 
beyond the middle by various coarse, foveiform, irregularly distributed punctures in the interstices, the 
latter feebly convex, flat near the suture. Anterior tibia moderately unguiculate. 
Length 11-144, breadth 4;4,-53 millim. (d ?) 
Hab. Mexico, Juquila in Oaxaca (Sallé), 
Two specimens, the smaller one with the whitish markings more extended than in 
the other. An isolated form, with the humeri of the elytra as prominent as in /. vere- 
cundus, the striz more or less interrupted or sinuously diverted on the disc between
