294 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
Hab. Mexico!? (Mus. Brit. ex coll. Flohr; Hoge, coll. Solari), Orizaba, Cos- 
comatepec, Totosinapam (Sallé), Zacualtipam, Jalapa, Cerro de Palmas, Oaxaca 
(fHége). 
Apparently a common insect in Mexico, to judge from the numerous examples 
available for examination. Fresh examples have the scales whitish or cinereous, 
and the alternate elytral interstices interruptedly fusco-lineate to beyond the middle, 
the prothorax sometimes with one or three darker vitte on the disc. The decumbent 
setee along the elytral interstices are sometimes long and conspicuous. Specimens 
occur with the scales brownish or cupreo-cinereous and the elytra faintly spotted with 
greenish or dirty-white. The alternate elytral interstices are a little more raised than 
the others, and the outer ones are coalescent from about the basal third. The head is 
abruptly convex behind the eyes. The males are narrow, the females broader and 
widened posteriorly. In four dirty examples (all more or less coated with an earthy- 
looking exudation) the tarsal claws appear to be connate at the base, instead of free, 
as in the type; they agree in all other respects with E. grypsatus. 
7. Kustylus verepacis, sp.n. (Tab. XIII. fig. 26, 2.) 
Moderately elongate, piceous or brown; thickly clothed with whitish, greenish-white, or bluish-white scales, 
the prothorax sometimes with a slightly darker median vitta and the elytra variegated with small white 
spots; the surface also set with short, scattered, decumbent sete, those on the elytra uniseriately 
arranged down each interstice. Head and rostrum canaliculate, the rostrum broad, subquadrate, the 
short deep scrobes becoming slightly divergent anteriorly, the bare nasal plate large, concave, and 
limited behind by a v-shaped ridge; eyes very large, rounded, coarsely facetted; antennal scape 
moderately stout, reaching the front margin of the prothorax, joint 2 of the funiculus longer than 1. 
Prothorax subcylindrical, obliquely narrowed anteriorly, nearly as jong as broad, flattened down the 
middle of the disc; sparsely, finely punctate. Scutellum large. Elytra elongate-subtriangular, broader 
in Q, somewhat uneven, closely and conspicuously punctate-striate, the outer stric free, the interstices 
feebly uniformly convex, the humeri prominent. 
Length 63-9, breadth 2-33 millim. (¢ 2.) 
Hab. GuatEMALA, Coban (Conradt), Sabo (Champion), Cacao near Trece Aguas 
(Schwarz and Barber, in U.S. Nat. Mus.). 
Seven specimens, a]l from Alta Vera Paz, assumed to include both sexes, though 
the supposed females have the elytra narrowed from the base as in the males. Larger 
than the Mexican £. grypsatus; the eyes larger and more coarsely facetted; the 
prothorax relatively shorter; the elytra elongate-subtriangular in both sexes, the 
shoulders more prominent, the outer striz free, the surface not fusco-lineate. 
8. Eustylus chiriquensis, sp.n. (Tab. XIII. figg. 27, 27a, ¢.) 
Obleng (3), somewhat pyriform (9), rather convex, piceous; densely clothed with coppery- or greyish- 
brown scales, those on the apical declivity sometimes paler, and also set with scattered curled decumbent 
sete. Head flattened and foveate between the eyes; rostrum short, broad, subquadrate, smooth, bare, 
and shining down the middle, sulcate towards the large, bare, concave nasal plate, the latter limited
