498 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
together in the minute scutellar cavity and a very small whitish spot on the disc of each 
elytron. J. divisus is a close ally of £. porcellus, but it is much larger and less setose. 
8. Euscepes longisetis, sp. n. 
Oblong-ovate, black, the antenne ferruginous; thickly clothed with reddish-brown scales, which become 
blackish towards the anterior limit of the very large ochreous patch covering the apical declivity ; the 
prothorax closely, and the elytra sparsely, setose, the sete on the latter long and erect, the legs also 
setose. Head densely punctate, the eyes widely separated; rostrum closely punctate. Prothorax 
convex, a little broader than long, somewhat rounded at the sides, bisinuate at the base; closely punctate. 
Elytra one-half wider than the prothorax, subparallel in their basal half, the humeri obtuse ; seriate- 
punctate, the interstices almost flat. Beneath rather sparsely punctate. Femora feebly dentate. 
Length 33, breadth 14 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
One specimen. Very like £. porcellus, but with much longer sete on the elytra, 
the seriate punctures rather fine. | 
4. Kuscepes truncatipennis, sp.n. (Tab. XXIV. fig. 17.) 
Oblong-ovate, shining, nigro-piceous, the antenne ferruginous; clothed with ochreous and brown scales, the 
elytra with a dense, anteriorly dilated patch of intermixed, small, adpressed and broad, semierect, whitish 
scales extending from the apex to near the middle, the sides and basal half also set with very short, 
coarse, scattered, clubbed sete. Head closely punctate, the eyes moderately distant ; rostrum rugulosely 
punctate and squamose at the base, the apical half thickly punctate in the ¢ and minutely punctate in 
the 2. Prothorax a little broader than long, rounded at the sides, narrowed and slightly constricted in 
front, and feebly bisinuate at the base; densely punctate. Elytra about one-third wider than the 
prothorax, subparallel in their basal half, with the apices broadly produced and subtruncate ; very 
coarsely seriate-punctate, the punctures subquadrate and closely placed, the interstices narrow and slightly 
raised. First ventral segment very coarsely and closely, and the others sparsely and finely, punctate. 
Legs rather long, the femora minutely dentate. 
Length 33-4, breadth 13-14 millim. (¢ 9.) 
Hab. Brirish Honpuras, Rio Hondo (Blancaneauz). 
One pair, both specimens partially abraded. In this insect the elytra are broadly 
produced at the apex, and the raised intermixed whitish scales on the apical declivity 
are broad and coarse. The metathoracic episterna are just visible, as is also a very 
minute scutellum. 
OXY PTEROPSIS, gen. nov. 
Rostrum stout, curved, triangularly dilated at the base, the antenne inserted behind the middle, the funiculus 
7-jointed, the club ovate, with distinct sutures ; eyes large, narrowly separated; prothorax transverse, 
bisinuate at the base, the ocular lobes feebly developed ; scutellum small; elytra much wider than the 
prothorax, subtriangular, with ten rows of punctures ; mesosternum very prominent, arcuate-emarginate 
in front; metasternum moderately long, the episterna extremely narrow or invisible; ventral segments 
2-4 subequal in Jength ; femora clavate or sublinear, unarmed (the posterior pair in O. armatus with 
a stout blunt tooth near the apex, perhaps peculiar to the ¢ ); tibiz compressed, strongly unguiculate at 
the outer apical angle; tarsi with joint 3 broadly bilobed, the claws minute and approximate. 
Type O. armatus.
