PIAZORRHINUS. 229 
deeply punctate-striate, the interstices rather convex and closely asperato-punctate. Legs moderately 
stout, the femora each with a small tooth. 
Length 13-22, breadth 1-14 millim. (d 2.) 
Hab. Guaremata, San Gerénimo, Tamahu, and Senahu in Vera Paz (Champion) ; 
Panama, Bugaba, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
Numerous examples. Very like P. scutellaris, but differing from it in the very large 
eyes and in the arrangement of the elytral pubescence, the latter forming a single 
curved fascia at the middle in P. cingulatus and two transverse fascie in P. scutellaris. 
The last-mentioned character also separates P. cingulatus from P. cyanescens, which, 
again, is otherwise coloured. The pubescence is usually grey, but is sometimes 
yellowish on the prothorax and on the elytra as well. 
13. Piazorrhinus albocinctus, sp. n. 
Oblong-subovate, shining, black, the apex of the rostrum, the antenne, and tarsi ferruginous, the shoulders 
of the elytra reddish; the prothorax (except along the middle of the disc), the humeri, and a curved 
oblique fascia extending thence to the suture, clothed with ochreous pubescence ; the elytra with a 
common, broad, curved fascia before the apex, and the apex itself narrowly, the scutellum, the head, the 
under surface, and legs with white pubescence, the rest of the elytral surface almost bare. Head closely 
punctate, the eyes very large, convex, and narrowly separated ; rostrum very short and stout, not longer 
than the eyes, thickly punctured ; antennz rather short, the club ovate, about as long as joints 2-7 of 
the funiculus united. Prothorax transverse, subconical, closely punctate, carinate on the disc. Elytra 
considerably wider than the prothorax, slightly fl attened on the disc anteriorly, subparallel in their basal 
half, the humeri not prominent; deeply punctate-striate, the interstices narrow, convex, and roughly 
punctulate. Legs rather short, the femora each with a minute tooth. 
Length 21, breadth 13 millim. (d .) 
Hab. Guaremata, El Tumbador, Pacific slope (Champion). 
One specimen. Very like P. rufipes, from Chiriqui, but narrower, with a much 
shorter rostrum, more convex eyes, shorter antenne, with a smaller and much less 
elongate club, shorter legs, with the femora and tibiae black and the femora toothed, 
and the broad, curved, white apical fascia of the elytra divided into two by a transverse 
bare space. 
14. Piazorrhinus vestitus, sp. n. 
Oblong-subovate, shining, black, the tip of the rostrum reddish, the antenne and tarsi rufo-testaceous; thickly 
pubescent, the pubescence yellowish on the disc of the prothorax and around the scutellum, and white 
elsewhere, the elytra each with a large space at the side, which becomes narrower inwards and reaches 
the second stria at about the middle, and a narrow transverse space before the apex, almost bare; the 
legs sparsely clothed with white hairs. Head closely punctate, the eyes very large and narrowly 
separated; rostrum very short and stout, not longer than the eyes, thickly punctate ; antenne short, 
the club stout and ovate. Prothorax broader than long, subconical, closely punctate, the disc carinate. 
Elytra considerably wider than the prothorax, a little flattened on the disc, subparallel in their basal 
half, the humeri not prominent; deeply punctate-striate, the interstices narrow, convex, and punctulate. 
Femora each with a small tooth, that on the hind pair almost obsolete. 
Length 275, breadth 1 millim. (<¢.) 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 3000 feet (Champion). 
One specimen. In this insect the elytra have a large, oblong, subtriangular, bare
