EUBULUS. BAT 
of the prothorax larger and subtriangular. Head rugosely punctate, sometimes with an obtuse, subtri- 
angular ridge between the eyes above, the latter subcontiguous, separated by the upward prolongation of 
the median carina of the rostrum; rostrum curved, nearly reaching the metasternum, widened, rugosely 
punctate, and carinate at the base, for the rest very sparsely minutely punctate in the ¢ and almost 
smooth in the 9, the antenne inserted far behind the middle, joints 1-4 of the funiculus gradually 
decreasing in length, 5-7 shorter than 4, the club ovate. Prothorax transverse, much narrowed and 
feebly constricted in front and bisinuate at the base, the sides parallel behind; coarsely, confluently 
punctate, and also carinate to near the base. Sceutellum oblong, smooth. LElytra considerably wider 
than the prothorax, narrowing from a little below the rounded humeri; seriate-punctate, the interstices 
rugulose, each of them narrowly costate (the ridge on 3, 5, and 7 rather prominent), and the suture also 
raised. Ventral segments sparsely, coarsely punctate. Legs rather stout; femora sharply dentate, the 
anterior pair with a small denticle placed at some distance exterior to the larger tooth; tibis carinate 
on their outer edge. 
Length 44-6, breadth 22-3 millim. (¢ 2.) 
Hab, Payama, Bugaba (Champion). 
Eleven specimens. Not unlike Eubwlomus sticticus, but larger and more ovate, the 
rostrum much longer, the prothorax more coarsely punctate, with the narrow raised 
interspaces becoming longitudinally confluent anteriorly, the legs stouter, the anterior 
femora bidentate, the tibie broader and carinate along their outer edge. The almost 
contiguous eyes distinguish E. sguamipennis from E. punctifrons, &c. The elytral 
vestiture is rather close, coarse, and uniformly distributed. 
3. Eubulus costatus, sp. n. 
Oblong subovate, shining, black, the antenne fusco-ferruginous ; very sparsely clothed with small brownish 
scales and also set with short, fine, suberect, scattered sete, the ventral segments 2—4 with a few very coarse 
brown scales. Head very coarsely punctate, obliquely carinate above the eyes, the two carine connected 
in front by a transverse ridge, the eyes distant; rostrum arcuate, not quite reaching the metasternum, 
rugosely punctate and tricarinate in its basal half, the median carina extending upwards between the eyes, 
the apical half almost smooth, the antenne inserted at about the middle, joints 1 and 2 of the funiculus 
equal in length, the club ovate. Prothorax slightly broader than long, narrowed and feebly constricted 
in front, the sides subparallel from about the middle to the base; very coarsely, confluently punctate, and 
also carinate to the apex. Seutellum very small and convex, not filling the cavity. lytra wider than 
the prothorax, narrowing from about the basal fourth, broadly produced at the apex, the humeri rounded ; 
seriate-punctate, striate near the suture, the interstices obsoletely granulate and sharply costate, the 
suture also a little raised. Ventral segment 1 very coarsely and closely, and the others sparsely and finely, 
punctate, 2 smooth across the middle. Legs moderately long, the femora each with a triangular tooth. 
Length 6, breadth 27 millim. (9 2) 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
One specimen, partly abraded above. The longer legs, the less transverse prothorax, 
and the broadly produced elytra distinguish E. costatus from E. punctifrons and 
E. squamipennis. The ventral segments are very unequally punctured, and 2-4 bear 
some coarse scales. 
4. Bubulus truncatus, sp.n. (Tab. XXVII. figg. 5, 5 a.) 
Oblong-ovate, shining, nigro-piceous or black, the antenne ferruginous; sparsely clothed with rather fine, 
semierect, setiform, ochreous scales, the elytra with intermixed, coarser, adpressed, similarly-coloured
