EXOPHTHALMUS. 257 
Hab. British Honpuras (U.S. Nat. Mus.), Temash River [var. «] (Mus. Brit.), 
Belize (Blancaneaux); GuaTeMALA, Yzabal (Sallé), Livingston [var. 8], Cacao near 
Trece Aguas (Schwarz and Barber, in U.S. Nat. Mus.), Panzos (Conradt), Teleman, 
Chacoj (Champion). 
The typical form of this insect is common in the lower portions of the Polochic 
Valley and it has long been known in collections under Chevrolat’s MS. name; the 
var. a is represented by a single female from Temash River; and the var. 6 by five 
males from Livingston, on the Atlantic coast. The median groove on the prothorax 
is conspicuous and usually indicated by an irregular row of coarse punctures. The 
smooth line along the rostrum is sometimes obsolete. | 
11. Exophthalmus cupreipes, sp.n. (Tab. XI. fiz. 15, 2.) 
Oblong, narrow (¢), broader and widened posteriorly ( 9 ), black ; densely squamose, the scales on the head, 
rostrum, and legs, and along the middle of the prothorax anteriorly or to near the base, cupreous or 
golden-cupreous, those on the rest of the surface green or golden-green, the elytral interstices also set 
with short, scattered, adpressed setiform scales. Head and rostrum rugulosely punctate, the rostrum 
longer than broad, sharply carinate, the carina extending forward to the v-shaped prominence limiting 
the bare triangular nasal plate and followed by a narrow deep inter-ocular sulcus; antenne rather 
slender, the scape reaching beyond the eyes, the latter large and moderately convex. Prothorax 
transverse, arcuately narrowing forwards, feebly bisinuate at the base, hollowed down the middle 
anteriorly and also canaliculate; with irregular, scattered foveee: intermixed with fine punctures. 
Elytra with twelve rows of moderately coarse punctures, the interstices equal and feebly convex, the 
apices feebly mucronate, somewhat acuminate in 9, the humeri moderately prominent. 
Length 8-114, breadth 23-43 millim. (¢ @.) 
Hab. Mexico (Koltze, in Mus. Dresden ; coll. Solari), Chiapas (coll. Fry), Oaxaca, 
? Jalapa, ? Cordova (Hoge). 
Ten specimens, scarcely varying in colour, and probably all from the State of Oaxaca. 
Easily separable from E. opulentus and E. vitticollis by the sharply carinate rostrum 
and the v-shaped prominence limiting the bare nasal plate; the prothorax, too, is also 
more or less hollowed down the middle anteriorly, as well as being finely canaliculate. 
12. Exophthalmus carneipes, sp.n. (Tab. XI. figg. 16, 16a, ¢.) 
Oblong, narrow (<), broader (@), black or piceous; densely squamose, the scales on the head, rostrum, 
scape, legs, base and apex of elytra, and the greater part of the under surface, flesh-coloured or cupreous, 
those on the rest of the body glittering golden-green. Head and rostrum rugulosely punctate, the 
rostrum very little longer than broad, and with a smooth stout median carina, which is widened 
posteriorly and encloses a deep lanciform inter-ocular sulcus; eyes large, rounded, convex; antenne 
long, the scape reaching beyond the front margin of the prothorax in both sexes. Prothorax transverse, 
subcylindrical, rounded at the sides anteriorly, hollowed or flattened down the middle, feebly bisinuate 
at the base; with a few scattered foveiform punctures intermixed with a fine interstitial punctuation. 
Elytra elongate-triangular in 3, widened to the middle in 9, acuminate and feebly mucronate at the 
. tip ; seriate-punctate, the interstices feebly convex. 
Length 9-12, breadth 34-5 millim. (¢ @.)

(Underwood); Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion, Trotsch).
