548 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
scales, which are here and there fasciculate. Head rugosely punctate, transversely carinate above the 
eyes, the latter widely separated and coarsely facetted ; rostrum curved, nearly reaching the metasternum, 
rugosely punctate and more or less distinctly carinate to about the middle and thickly punctate thence to 
the apex, the apical half smocther in the 9, the antennee inserted about midway, joint 2 of the funiculus 
a little shorter than 1, the club ovate, acuminate. Prothorax a little broader than long, abruptly 
narrowed in front, the sides almost parallel to about the middle, the base strongly bisinuate ; coarsely, 
confluently punctate, carinate from the base to the apex. Scutellum rounded, smooth. Elytra wider 
than the prothorax, moderately long, rapidly narrowing from a little below the base, somewhat broadly 
produced and subtruncate at the apex; punctate-striate, the interstices narrowly and equally costate 
throughout. Beneath coarsely, closely punctate. Legs rather short; femora unidentate; tibie 
feebly carinate. 
Length 5-51, breadth 22 millim. (d @.) 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
Four specimens. Separable from £. costatus, which also has a comparatively long, 
very coarsely punctate, carinate prothorax, by the more widely separated eyes, the 
truncate apex of the elytra, and the shorter legs. 
5. Eubulus reticulatus, sp.n. (Tab. XXVII. figg. 6, 6a, b, 3.) 
Ovate, shining, black, the antennz obscure ferruginous; variegated above with a somewhat dense clothing of 
intermixed fulvous, black, and grey scales, the black scales forming a reticulate pattern on the prothorax 
and elytra, the prothorax with the flanks and an oval or subcordate spot on the middle of the disc at the 
base, and the elytra with a short streak on the fourth interstice towards the apex, ochreous or white ; 
the upper surface also set with scattered, coarse, setiform scales, which are clustered into an interrupted 
series on each of the four dorsal cost of the elytra; the vestiture of the under surface fulvous, that of 
the legs variegate. Head rugulosely punctate, the exposed portion broadly flattened or depressed, in 
some specimens obliquely carinate above each of the eyes and with a short carina on the vertex, the eyes 
very large and narrowly separated; rostrum slender, curved, reaching the anterior edge of the meta- 
sternum, widened, rugulosely punctate, and carinate at the base, and smooth thence to the tip, the 
antenne inserted near the base, joints 1 and 2 of the funiculus subequal in length, the club elongate- 
ovate, nearly as long as the preceding five joints united. Prothorax short, rounded at the sides anteriorly, 
feebly constricted and greatly narrowed in front, bisinuate at the base; densely punctate and carinate. 
Scutellum oval. Elytra moderately convex, slightly wider than the prothorax, narrowing from a little 
below the base; seriate-punctate, the interstices punctulate, 3, 5, 7, and 9 sharply undulato-costate. 
Beneath closely punctate. Legs rather stout; femora clavate, each with a very sharp triangular tooth 
and a small tooth exterior to it. 
Length 41~7, breadth 2,4,-34 millim. (d 9.) 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
Found in abundance in Bugaba. This insect is nearly related to the South-American 
Colosternus aspis (Fabr.); but that species, according to Boheman, has the elytra 
strongly tuberculate towards the base and wants the ochreous spot at the base of the 
prothorax. If I have rightly identified the sexes, they have the rostrum and anterior 
tarsi similarly formed. 
The present species is very like Celosternus tardipes. 
6. Kubulus hospes, sp. n. 
Subovate, black, the antennw and the tips of the tarsi ferruginous; the prothorax with a tew svattered 
whitish and fulvous scales above, the vestiture of the flanks coarse and close, whitish and fulvous
