LEMOSACCUS. 287 
surface with pectinate white scales. Head opaque, minutely punctate, narrowly foveate between the 
eyes, which are large and rather widely separated; rostrum very stout, short, dull, rugulosely punctate, 
shallowly sulcate down the middle; antennal club nearly as long as the funiculus. Prothorax large, as 
broad as the elytra, transversely convex, rounded at the sides, abruptly narrowed and constricted in front; 
the surface very coarsely, confluently punctate, and carinate down the middle. Elytra moderately long, 
with finely punctured, narrow striw, the interstices alutaceous, and angularly raised and asperate 
externally. Pygidium rugosely punctured and obsoletely carinate. Anterior femora with a short, acute 
tooth, the intermediate femora obsoletely dentate. 
Length 24, breadth 14 millim. (<¢.) 
Hab. Mexico, Jalapa (Hoge). 
One specimen. This insect is of the same size and colour as L. hamatus, but differs 
from that species in having a short acute tooth to the anterior femora, the prothorax 
is more convex and very coarsely punctured, the rostrum of the male is shallowly 
sulcate, and the eyes are less approximate. The prothoracic sculpture is even coarser 
than in Z. sculpturatus, and the median carina sharper. 
10. Lemosaccus scriptus, sp.n. (Tab. XIV. figg. 30, 304, 4, 3.) 
Oblong, rather narrow, black, the elytra with a common, somewhat a-shaped, ochreous patch on the disc, the 
antenns and tarsi obscure ferruginous; the elytra with a small dense patch of white scales behind the 
scutellum, the under surface thickly clothed with white, pectinate scales. Head alutaceous and minutely 
punctate, the eyes large and narrowly separated; rostrum (¢) very short and stout, dull, rugulose, 
(@) longer, cylindrical, shining, and finely punctate, the scrobes descending to beneath the eyes ; antennz 
with the club a little shorter than the funiculus, the outer joints of the latter transverse. Prothorax 
almost as wide as the elytra, transversely convex, rounded at the sides, narrowed and constricted in front ; 
the surface coarsely, confluently punctate, feebly carinate down the middle posteriorly, the narrow raised 
interspaces forming radiating lines on the anterior part of the disc. Scutellum moderately large, 
prominent. Elytra parallel, feebly lobate in front, the humeri rounded; with finely punctured, deeply 
impressed strie, the interstices costate, alutaceous, and finely asperate. Pygidium rugosely punctate. 
Anterior femora with a very short acute tooth, the other femora obsoletely dentate. 
Length 23-3, breadth 14-13 millim. (d 2.) 
Hab. Guatemata, Quiche Mountains, Capetillo (Champion). 
Three specimens. The common, somewhat «-shaped, ochreous patch on the elytra, 
which is interrupted at the suture in one example, separates this species at once from 
its allies. 
11. Lemosaccus ebenus. 
Lemosaccus ebenus, Pasc. Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (5) xvii. p. 419°. 
Oblong, dull, black, the anterior margin of the prothorax, the antennee, the intermediate and hind legs, and 
the anterior knees and tarsi, more or less ferruginous; the under surface sparsely clothed with white 
pectinate scales. Head opaque, alutaceous, and minutely punctate, the eyes large and well separated ; 
rostrum (¢) short and stout, rugulosely punctate, dull to near the tip, (Q ) longer, cylindrical, shining, 
and rather sparsely punctate; antenne with a stout, oblong-ovate club, this being a little longer than 
the funiculus. Prothorax about as broad as the elytra, transversely convex, strongly constricted and 
narrowed in front, moderately rounded at the sides; the surface closely, coarsely, shallowly punctate, 
the disc obsoletely carinate and feebly bifoveolate. Scutellum, elytra, and pygidium as in L, sculpturatus. 
Anterior femora with a short, sharp tooth, intermediate and hind femora feebly dentate. 
Length 23-4, breadth 13-2 millim. (d 2.)
