EUBULUS. 5d51 
10. Kubulus marginatus, sp. n. (Tab. XXVII. figg. 9, 9a, 3.) 
Subrhomboidal, black, the antenna ferruginous; clothed above with rather coarse dark brown scales, the 
flanks and under surface of the prothorax, the anterior cox, the anterior femora to about the middle, 
some irregular markings on the head, the base of the rostrum, a broad, curved, interrupted, common, 
median fascia on the elytra, extending narrowly forwards to the humeri, some small scattered spots 
between this and the apex, and two incomplete annuli on the intermediate and posterior femora, white or 
brownish-white, the prothorax and elytra also set with scattered, erect, coarse, black, brown, and whitish 
setiform scales, which are clustered into fascicles cu the most prominent elevations, the legs: setulose. 
Head rugosely punctate, the vertex more finely punctured, the frontal depression extending arcuately 
upwards on each side of the median carina and also continued around the eyes, the latter rather widely 
separated ; rostrum strongly curved, reaching the front of the metasternum, rugosely punctate and 
carinate, the apical half more sparsely punctate in the 9, the antennew inserted far beyond the middle 
in the g, and a little further back in the 9, joint 2 of the funiculus elongate, the club long, ovate, 
acuminate. Prothorax broad, strongly transverse, very abruptly narrowed before the middle, flattened 
on the basal half of the disc; opaque, alutaceous, and rather sparsely punctate, the posterior lobe 
5-carinate (the median carina arcuate and very prominent, the outer one marginal and anteriorly 
prominent, the intermediate one very short and oblique). Elytra subtriangular, produced at the apex, 
shining, the humeri rounded; seriate-punctate, the interstices punctulate, 3, 5, and 7 very sharply 
costate (the ridge on 3 and 5 interrupted below the base), and 9 carinate below the shoulder, the suture 
also raised. Beneath alutaceous, rather sparsely punctate. Legs moderately long, the femora bidentate. 
Length 6-9, breadth 3-43 millim. (¢ 9.) 
Hab. Mexico, Toxpam in Vera Cruz (Sallé); Guatemata, El Reposo (Champion) ; 
Nicaragua, Chontales (Belt); Costa Rica, Savanillas de Pirris (Underwood). 
Six specimens, three of which are from El Reposo. Easily recognizable by the 
carinate lateral margins of the prothorax and the white flanks of the latter. 
11. Kubulus immarginatus, sp.n. (Tab. XXVII. fig. 10, ¢.) 
Subrhomboidal, black, the antenne ferruginous; clothed above with small dark brown scales, the anterior 
lobe, flanks, and under surface of the prothorax, the anterior coxe, some irregular markings on the head 
and femora, and a common curved fascia on the elytra extending forwards to the shoulders, white or 
whitish, the fascia bordered within by a curved black band; the prothorax and elytra also set with short, - 
scattered, black, fulvous, and white sete. Head rugulosely punctate, flattened in front, with a short 
median carina and indications of a short oblique ridge above each eye; rostrum strongly curved, reaching 
the front of the metasternum, rugoscly punctate and carinate, the antenne inserted far behind the middle, 
joint 2 of the funiculus elongate. Prothorax broad, strongly trausverse, very abruptly narrowed in front, 
the sides subparallel behind, the disc flattened towards the base; densely, finely punctate, arcuately 
carinate, the posterior lobe binodose and sparsely granulate anteriorly, the anterior lobe also granulate 
at the apex. Elytra subtriangular, produced at the apex; seriate-punctate, the interstices 3, 5, and 7 
very sharply costate, the ridge on 3 and 5 interrupted posteriorly, and that on 3 also interrupted below 
the base. Femora bidentate. 
Length 7, breadth 34 millim. (¢.) 
Hab. Costa Rica, San Carlos, Atlantic slope (bvolley). 
One specimen. Very like £. marginatus, but wanting the marginal ridge on the 
prothorax, and the prothorax itselt densely punctate; the white fascia on the elytra 
curved and composed of small scales, and preceded by a curved black band. ‘The 
peculiar shape of the prothorax, the interrupted dorsal coste of the elvtra, &c., 
separate it from LE. integer.
