Sect. A. 
1. Eubulus punctifrons, sp.n. (Lab. XXVII. figg. 3, 3a, 4, ¢ .) 
Ovate, somewhat flattened above, shining, black, the antenne and the tip of the rostrum more or less 
ferruginous ; clothed with scattered rather coarse ochreous scales, which are clustered into fascicles on 
the elytra, intermixed with very short, fine, erect sete. Head coarsely, closely punctate, the carina 
between the eyes limited above by a small triangular fovea and on each side by a groove running along 
the inner margin of the eyes; rostrum about as long as the head and prothorax, rather slender, curved, 
tricarinate, punctate, and laterally sulcate at the base, and sparsely finely punctate thence to the tip, 
the apical half almost smooth in the 2, the antennx inserted at (¢) or a little behind (¢ ) the middle, 
joints 1 and 2 of the funiculus equal in length, the club ovate, acuminate. Prothorax much broader 
than long, rapidly narrowing from the base ; coarsely, rugosely punctate, the smooth narrow interspaces 
becoming longitudinally confluent anteriorly, the disc with a smooth, prominent, median carina. Scutellum 
oblong, smooth. Elytra narrowing from the base, with rows of coarse, subquadrate punctures, the inter- 
stices narrow, smooth, and costate throughout. Beneath very coarsely punctate. Femora sharply 
unidentate. Tibi uninterruptedly carinate on their outer edge. 
Length 53-64, breadth 3-34 millim. (d¢ 2.) 
Hab. Muxico (Dupont, in Mus. Brit.), Playa Vicente (Sallé), Tapachula (Hoge), 
Temax in N. Yucatan (Gawmer); Brivish Honpuras, Belize (Blancaneauxr); GUATE- 
MALA, Cahabon, San Gerénimo, El Reposo, San Isidro, Paraiso (Champion); PANaMa, 
Bugaba, Volcan de Chiriqui, David (Champion). 
Numerous examples. This insect may be recognized from most of its allies by the 
groove along the inner margin of the eyes, and by the median carina of the rostrum 
extending upwards between them, and then obliquely branching off for a short distance 
on each side above. LE. punctifrons might be almost equally well included under 
Zascelis. Cryptorhynchus serius, Ros., from Brazil, is probably an allied form. 
2. Kubulus squamipennis, sp.n. (Tab. XXVII. figg. 4, 44, 6.) 
Ovate, shining, black, the antenne and the outer tibial carina ferruginous; the pronotum sparsely, and the rest 
of the surface somewhat thickly, clothed with rather coarse, subsetiform, ochreous scales, those on the flanks
