550 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
8. Eubulus ceecus. 
Riynchenus cecus, Fabr. Syst. Eleuth. ii. p. 469°. 
Cryptorhynchus cacus, Boh. in Schénh. Gen. Cure. iv. p. 110’. 
Subovate, dull, black, the antenns obscure ferruginous; the prothorax clothed with coarse, intermixed, erect 
and depressed, brown, black, and whitish scales, which become paler on the flanks, the whitish scales 
condensed into an incomplete annulus on each side of the disc before the middle, and the black ones 
clustered into two spots at the base and two curved streaks towards the apex; the rest of the upper 
surface and the legs densely clothed with small brownish scales intermixed with scattered, suberect, coarser 
scales, the elytra mottled with darker brown, and with a blackish patch at the apex; the ventral segments 
sparsely squamose. Head rugosely punctate, the strongly transverse frontal depression limited above the 
eyes by an irregular transverse carina, the eyes very large, prominent, and subcontiguous ; rostrum arcuate, 
rather slender, rugosely punctate and carinate at the base, shallowly bifoveate between the eyes, for the 
rest almost smooth, the antenne inserted far behind the middle, joints 1-3 of the funiculus subequal in 
length, the club ovate. Prothorax much broader than long, subconical; densely punctate and sharply 
carinate. Elytra much wider than the prothorax, narrowing from a little below the base, flattened on 
the dise anteriorly; punctate-striate, the interstices densely punctate, 3, 5, 7, and 9 sinuato-costate. 
Beneath alutaceous, densely, the ventral segments 2-4 sparsely, punctate. Legs moderately long; femora 
bidentate, the inner tooth acute, the outer one indistinct, broad on the anterior pair. 
Length 73, breadth 4 millim. (@.) 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion).—Soutu America! °. 
One specimen, agreeing with others before me from South America *. ‘The spaces 
on the prothorax enclosed by the eye-like marks appear, at first sight, to be depressed. 
9, Bubulus integer, sp.n. (Tab. X XVII. figg. 8, 8a, 3.) 
Rhomboidal, black, the antenne ferruginous; thickly clothed with intermixed brown and fulvous scales, the 
head, the rostrum, and the anterior half of the prothorax variegated with white, and the elytra with a 
common, interrupted, curved, white fascia on the disc before the middle, the flanks of the prothorax, the 
anterior cox, and the base of the anterior femora almost wholly white; the upper surface also sparsely 
set with short, coarse, erect, fulvous and black, setiform scales. Head densely punctate, obsoletely carinate 
above the eyes, which are large, the frontal depression trapezoidal ; rostrum strongly curved, carinate and 
rugosely punctate in its basal half, and sparsely, finely punctate thence to the apex, the antenna inserted 
at about the middle, joints 2 and 8 of the funiculus subequal in length, the club ovate, rather long. 
Prothorax short, narrowing from the base, feebly constricted in front; densely punctate, the dise some- 
what gibbous at the middle, broadly depressed along each side of the acute median carina, and also 
depressed laterally, the two depressions separated anteriorly by a short ridge. Elytra much wider than 
the prothorax, subcordate; seriate-punctate, the interstices 3, 5, 7, and 9 very sharply costate, the suture 
also raised. Beneath densely, finely punctate. Legs moderately long ; femora bidentate, the outer tooth 
on the anterior pair very small, almost obsolete. 
Length 7, breadth 4 millim. (¢.) 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
Two specimens. The white flanks of the prothorax and its depressed, tricarinate 
disc separate E. integer from all the allied forms, EL. marginatus excepted, this latter 
having the prothorax itself very differently shaped and its lateral margins also carinate. 
* One of those in the British Museum is labelled C. lunifer, Latr.
