EURHOPTUS. 481 
One specimen. Near E. anchonoides, which has similarly-shaped ventral fovee ; 
but with the prothorax less dilated at the sides, the elytral sculpture very different, 
the sete of the upper surface coarser, darker, and fasciculate, &c. 
4. Kurhoptus alticola, sp.n. (Tab. XXIII. figg. 20, 20a, ¢.) 
Subovate, rather dull, black, the antenne, the apex of the rostrum, and the tips of the tarsi reddish ; 
clothed with agglutinated brown scales and suberect stout sete, the latter clustered into fascicles on the 
elytra. Head and rostrum densely punctate, the apical half of the latter bare and much smoother; 
antenne inserted at the middle of the rostrum, joints 1 and 2 of the funiculus subequal in length, the 
club ovate. Prothorax about as long as broad, abruptly narrowed and constricted in front, the tubulate 
apical portion somewhat produced forwards; densely punctate, the disc depressed down the middle. 
Elytra rotundate-ovate, convex, not wider than the prothorax at the base; finely seriate-punctate, the 
interstices alutaceous, 3, 5, and 7 with scattered oblong tubercles, the one on 3 at the commencement of 
the apical declivity large and bearing a dense cluster of sete. First ventral segment broadly depressed 
on each side of the middle, the fifth shallowly foveate in the ¢. Legs short, moderately stout, the femora 
unarmed ; anterior tibiw sinuate, the others slightly dilated on the outer edge below the base. 
Length 3, breadth 15 millim. (¢ @.) 
Hab. Guaremaa, Totonicapam 8500-10,500 feet (Champzon). 
One pair. This insect approaches EL. fuscisetis, but it has a longer prothorax, the 
elytral sculpture is very different, the setee are less numerous, and the ventral fovee 
are wanting. 
5. Kurhoptus foveiventris, sp.n. (Tab. XXIII. figg. 21, 21a.) 
Subovate, shining, black, the antenne and the tips of the tarsi reddish; very sparsely clothed with 
decumbent, curled, fulvous sete, the head, the base of the rostrum, and the prothorax also with 
brownish agglutinated scales, the legs setulose. Head and base of the rostrum rugulosely, the rest of 
the latter very sparsely, punctate; antenne inserted about the middle of the rostrum, joints 1 and 2 
of the funiculus subequal in length, the club ovate. Prothorax broader than long, abruptly narrowed 
and constricted in front, slightly hollowed at the base; closely punctate, the posterior lobe sulcate down 
the middle. Elytra convex, ovate, not wider than the prothorax at the base; seriate-punctate, the 
punctures becoming very fine towards the suture and coarser and placed in shallow strie towards 
the sides, the alternate interstices subcostate and seriato-granulate, the suture also raised and granulate, 
the other interstices with a few widely scattered granules. Ventral segment 1 with a large and deep 
oval fovea on each side, the two fovese connected posteriorly. Femora feebly unidentate. 
Length 24-3}, breadth 13-1,°, millim. 
Hab. Guatemata, Cerro Zunil 4000 feet (Champion). 
Thirteen specimens. The deeply bifoveate first ventral segment and the dentate 
femora sufficiently distinguish this small species. 
6. Eurhoptus costatus, sp.n. (Tab. XXIII. fig. 22.) 
Subpyriform, convex, shining, the prothorax opaque ; black, the elytra nigro-piceous, the antenne and tarsi 
ferruginous ; the upper surface (the elytral coste and the rostrum excepted) and legs clothed with 
reddish-brown agglutinated scales, and also thickly set with long, slender, suberect, similarly-coloured 
sete. Head densely, very finely punctate ; rostrum rugulosely punctate and carinate at the base, bare 
and almost smooth at the tip, the antenne inserted at about the middle, joint 1 of the funiculus a little 
longer than 2, the club ovate. Prothorax nearly as long as broad, narrowed and strongly constricted in
