542 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
Found in abundance at Duefias, the specimens varying in size and in the colour of the 
scales, though the four clusters of sete on the prothorax and the darker sutural patch 
of the elytra are always more or less conspicuous. ‘The latter is limited behind by a 
common, more or less interrupted, V-shaped or arcuate blackish streak. 
EUBULOMUS. 
Eubulomus, Faust, Stett. ent. Zeit. 1896, pp. 55, 84. 
The type of this genus, L. sticticus, Faust, from Venezuela, an insect occurring 
within our limits, is recognizable by its subcontiguous, coarsely facetted eyes, the 
rather short, curved rostrum, the obsoletely dentate, shallowly sulcate femora, the 
multicostate elytra, the comparatively short second joint of the funiculus, &c. 
The three species now added have the femora completely unarmed, the tibia sharply 
carinate on their outer edge, and the eyes varying in size inter se. ‘They are all very 
like the insects here placed at the head of the genus Lubulus. 
1. Eubulomus sticticus. (Tab. XXVII. figg. 1, 1a, b.) 
Eubulomus sticticus, Faust, Stett. ent. Zeit. 1896, p. 85°. 
Subovate, shining, black, the antenne ferruginous; clothed with scattered, short, narrow, semiercct, setiform, 
ochreous scales, the elytra also with intermixed, coarser, adpressed, similarly-coloured scales, which are 
here and there fasciculate. Head rugosely punctate, the eyes contiguous ; rostrum strongly curved, very 
little longer than the prothorax, widened, rugosely punctate, and subcarinate at the base, for the rest 
sparsely, rather coarsely punctate, the antenne inserted at about the basal third, joint 2 of the funiculus 
shorter than 1, the club ovate. Prothorax transverse, much narrowed in front, the sides parallel behind ; 
coarsely, densely punctate, and sharply carinate from the base to the apex. Elytra much wider than the 
striate, the narrowing from a little below the base, the humeri rounded and somewhat swollen ; punctate- 
prothorax, interstices rugulose, 2-9 narrowly costate throughout, the ridge on 2, 3, 5, and 7 prominent. 
Beneath very coarsely, closely punctate. Intermediate and posterior femora each with a minute tooth, 
Tibiz almost straight. 
Length 43-5, breadth 23-25 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion).—Vunezvunta, San Esteban}. 
Four specimens, differing from the type of LE. stictécus, Faust, in having the prothorax 
a little less transverse and more sharply carinate. The femora were incorrectly 
described by Faust as unarmed. 
2. Kubulomus multicostatus, sp.n. (Tab. XXVII. figg. 2. 2a.) 
Ovate, rather narrow, shining, black or piceous, the antenne ferruginous; clothed with widely scattered 
ochreous scales, intermixed with numerous suberect, fine, pallid setee, the scales more or less fasciculate 
on the elytra, the vestiture of the under surface sparse and fine, the legs sparsely setulose. Head 
coarsely, not very closely punctate, the eyes large, coarsely facetted, and narrowly separated ; rostrum 
strongly curved, thickened basally, reaching to the middle of the intermediate coxe, tricarinate and 
coarsely lineato-punctate at the base, for the rest sparsely punctate, smooth along the middle, the antennae 
inserted at about the basal fourth, joint 2 of the funiculus shorter than 1, the club ovate. Prothorax 
transverse, much narrowed in front, rounded at the sides anteriorly ; coarsely, confluently punctate. 
Elytra wider than the prothorax, gradually narrowing from a little below the base, flattened on the
