“122 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
Jalapa (Hége); Guatremata, San Gerdénimo (Champion); Nicaragua, Chontales 
(Janson); Panama (Mus. G. & S.). 
The twelve specimens obtained by us agree so closely with the description of 
M. hirtellus that there can be little doubt as to their identity; the three from 
Chontales, however, have the elytral sete almost entirely confined to the alternate 
interstices, as in 1. sparsa &c. 
2. Hyperodes testaceipes, sp. n. (Tab. VIII. figg. 2, 2a.) 
Elongate-ovate, somewhat depressed, slightly shining; piceous, the antennew, the anterior margin of the 
prothorax, and the legs ferruginous or testaceous ; the upper surface with scattered, erect, blunt setze and 
minute, appressed, piliform scales, and when fresh thickly clothed with large rounded pallid scales ; the legs 
setose. Head and rostrum rugulose; the latter short and stout, dilated at the apex, shallowly foveate at 
the base, and tricarinate ; joints 1 and 2 of the funiculus subequal in length, 1 stouter than 2. Prothorax 
transverse, rounded at the sides, densely, finely punctate, and sometimes with indications of a faintly 
raised, smooth, median line. Elytra one-half wider than the prothorax, subparallel to near the middle, 
slightly hollowed at the base, and a little produced at the tip; rather coarsely punctate-striate, the 
punctures closely placed, the interstices about as wide as the striw, feebly convex, rugulosely punctate, 
the alternate ones each with a scattered row of sets, the minute piliform scales conspicuous when the 
larger ones are abraded. 
Length 34-34 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, San Juan Bautista in Tabasco (Hoge). 
Three specimens, their sex not ascertained. Very like H. hirted/a, but differing from 
it in the finely punctured prothorax, the less coarsely punctured striz, and the rugulose 
elytral interstices, the alternate ones only with a scattered row of sete. ‘The minute 
piliform scales are conspicuous when the larger ones are removed. 
3. Hyperodes angustata, sp. n. (Tab. VIII. figg. 3, 3 a.) 
Elongate, narrow, rufo-piceous, the elytra mottled with black; the upper surface clothed with scattered, 
erect, blunt sets, and small, narrow, appressed, ochreous scales, without larger rounded scales ; the legs 
setose. Head finely punctate; rostrum short and stout, widened at the tip, rugosely punctate, faintly 
foveate at the base, without distinct carina above; joints 1 and 2 of the funiculus subequal in length, 
1 stouter than 2. Prothorax slightly broader than long, rounded at the sides, somewhat coarsely, 
closely punctate. Elytra about one-half wider than the prothorax, subparallel to near the middle, rather 
coarsely punctate-striate, the interstices convex, shining, and about as wide as the stris, and each with 
a row of sete. 
Length 32 millim. 
Hab. Britiso Honpuras, Rio Hondo (Blancaneauz). 
One specimen in very clean condition. Narrower and more cylindrical than either 
of the preceding, the rostrum not carinate above, the surface without larger rounded 
scales, which, however, may be rubbed off.
