482 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
front, the short apical portion somewhat produced over the head, the base subtruncate ; alutaccous and 
densely, confluently punctate, the disc finely carinate. Elytra convex, ovate, not wider than the 
prothorax at the base ; coarsely seriate-punctate, the interstices narrow, costate, and minutely uniseriate- 
punctate, the basal margin raised. First ventral segment with a very broad, smooth, deep, trapezoidal 
excavation. Legs short, the femora and tibise exceedingly stout, the femora unarmed, the tarsi 
comparatively slender, with a strongly bilobed third joint, the claws minute. 
Length 33, breadth 14 millim. 
Hab. GUATEMALA, Yzabal (Sal/é). 
One specimen, rather worn. The vestiture of this insect is very like that of 
Echinonotus rudus, Faust, from Venezuela. 
7. Eurhoptus levipennis, sp. n. (Tab. XXIIU. fig. 23.) 
Subovate, convex, moderately shining, the prothorax opaque; black, the elytra piceous, the antenne and 
tarsi ferruginous; the upper surface (the elytra and the disc of the prothorax excepted) clothed with 
agglutinated brown scales, and also very sparsely set with short decumbent sete. Head densely, the 
rostrum a little more sparsely, punctate; antenne inserted at about the middle of the rostrum, joints 
1 and 2 of the funiculus subequal in length, the club ovate. Prothorax broader than long, rounded at 
the sides anteriorly, abruptly narrowed and constricted in front; shallowly, rugulosely punctate, and 
sharply carinate. Llytra ovate, convex, at the base not wider than the prothorax ; almost smooth, the 
‘seriate punctuation just traceable, the outer interstices convex and 8 also raised posteriorly. Beneath 
dull; first ventral segment with a broad, sharply-defined, transverse, reniform excavation. Legs short, 
the femora and tibie very stout, the femora unarmed, the intermediate tibie notched at the middle 
externally, the tarsi rather narrow, with moderately dilated third joint, the claws minute. 
Length 3, breadth 1% millim. 
Hab. GUATEMALA, San Gerdnimo (Champion). 
One somewhat abraded specimen. Near E. costatus, but with a broader prothorax, 
almost smooth elytra, the outer interstices only of which are raised, a very differently- 
shaped ventral excavation, and short widely scattered sete. 
LEMBODES. 
Lembodes, Schonherr, Gen. Cure. viii. 1, p. 436 (1844) ; Lacordaire, Gen. Col. vii. p. 99. 
The few described species of this genus are from the Antilles, Colombia, and Chile. 
The Central-American form now added is nearly related to the type, L. solitarius, Boh., 
from the island of Guadeloupe, an insect that has also been recorded from Cape 
Jupiter, Florida. 
1. Lembodes trux, sp.n. (Tab. XXIII. fige, 24, 24 a.) 
Elongate, narrow, parallel-sided, nigro-piceous, the antenn ferruginous; densely clothed with pale brownish 
agglutinated scales, the elytra with a broad, common, cinereous patch extending down the apical half, 
the upper surface also set with very coarse, clubbed, suberect, scattered sete, these becoming more 
numerous along the anterior margin of the prothorax, and clustered into two fascicles on its disc, the legs 
annulate and coarsely setose. Head and rostrum rugulosely punctate, the latter faintly carinate, the 
eyes small; antenne inserted behind the middle of the rostrum, joint 1 of the funiculus elongate, 2 very 
short, not much longer than 3, 3-7 transverse. Prothorax longer than broad, feebly constricted a little 
before the middle, truncate at the base, arcuately projecting over the head in front ; closely punctate.
