PSEUDOMOPSIS. AST 
closely punctate, 5 depressed in the centre at the apex. Legs elongate, the femora each with a minute 
tooth. 
Length 34-4, breadth 24-21 millim. (¢ 2.) 
flab. Panama, Bugaba, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
One pair. The sexual differences are strongly marked in this species, the female 
having a longer, more slender, and much smoother rostrum, with the antenne inserted 
nearer the base, than in the male. The two black dorsal crests of the elytra are followed 
by a faint, curved, common, reddish-brown fascia. 
2. Pseudomopsis arcuatus, sp.n. (Tab. XXIII. fig. 29.) 
Somewhat fusiform, shining, nigro-piceous, the antenne and the tip of the rostrum obscure ferruginous ; 
thickly clothed with dark brown scales, with a few ochreous scales intermixed, the, elytra with a 
common, strongly curved, narrow, whitish fascia beyond the middle, the scattered sete very short, 
decumbent, and inconspicuous. Head densely punctate, faintly sulcate between the eyes, which are 
large, rounded (as seen from above), and somewhat narrowly separated; rostrum much widened and 
rugulosely punctate at the base, the apical half finely, sparsely punctate ; joint 2 of the funiculus a little 
shorter than 1, the club oblong-ovate. Prothorax transverse, subconical, feebly constricted in front, 
deeply bisinuate at the base; densely, finely punctate. Scutellum not visible. LElytra rather long, 
convex, subtriangular, about one-half wider than the prothorax, the humeri rounded, the base sinuate ; 
seriate-punctate, the punctures placed in strive towards the suture, the interstices punctulate and feebly 
convex. Ventral segments closely, finely punctate, 5 depressed in the middle at the apex. Legs short 
and stout, the femora rather sharply dentate. 
Length 44, breadth 2} millim. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 5000 feet (Champion). 
One specimen. A species with comparatively long, subtriangular elytra, with a 
sharply-defined, common, curved, whitish, post-median fascia, and a subconical 
transverse prothorax. ‘The prothorax and elytra are without prominences or clusters 
of sete. 
3. Pseudomopsis laticollis, sp. n. 
Subovate, rather broad, robust, shining, black, the elytra piceous, the antenne ferruginous; thickly clothed 
with coarse brown scales, the prothorax with four fascicles of short, darker sete placed transversely 
across the disc (the outer two inconspicuous), the elytra with a narrow, common, transverse, blackish 
fascia on the disc at the commencement of the apical declivity, the scutellum and under surface whitish. 
Head densely punctate, the eyes well-separated ; rostrum thickly, finely punctate, rugulose and squamose 
at the base; joint 2 of the funiculus a little shorter than 1. Prothorax broad, transverse, abruptly 
narrowed and constricted in front, bisinuate at the base, the sides almost straight behind; densely 
punctate, feebly binodose on the disc. Scutellum visible. Elytra transversely gibbous, subparallel in their 
basal third, considerably wider than the prothorax, the humeri rounded ; coarsely seriate-punctate, the 
punctures subquadrate, the interstices sparsely punctulate, 2 and 4 becoming swollen and wider than the 
others towards the middle. Beneath densely, finely punctate. Legs short and stout, the femora 
obsoletely dentate. 
Length 33, breadth 24, millim. (d.)
