12. Eubulus brevis. (Tab. X XVII. figg. 11, lla, ¢.) 
Cryptorhynchus brevis, Ros, in Schonh. Gen. Cure. iv. p. 109°. 
Subovate, black, the antenns, and the tarsi in part or entirely, ferruginous; somewhat thickly clothed with 
small brown scales, the head, the base of the rostrum, the anterior lobe of the prothorax, aud the femora 
variegated or annulated with white, the flanks of the prothorax, the anterior coxe, the base of the anterior 
femora in front, a spot on the humeri beneath, another on the sides of the mesosternum, and numerous 
scattered spots on the elytra (except at the base), also white ; the upper surface rather closely set with 
short, erect, dark sete, which are seriately arranged down each of the elytral interstices, the legs setulose, 
the vestiture of the abdomen sparse and piliform. Head densely punctate, the transverse fronta] depression 
limited at some distance above the eyes by a strongly sinuate ridge, the eyes prominent and moderately 
distant ; rostrum arcuate, depressed, rugosely punctate, and carinate in its basal half, and finely punctate 
thence to the apex, the apical half smoother in the 9, the antenne inserted at about the middle, joints 1 
and 2 of the funiculus subequal in length, the club ovate. Prothorax strongly transverse, abruptly 
narrowed and constricted in front, narrowed from behind the middle; closely punctate, the posterior lobe 
binodose anteriorly and depressed on each side of the median carina, the sides usually with one or two 
small teeth. Elytra shining, subtriangular, wider than the prothorax, transversely convex, the humeri 
obliquely truncated in front ; seriate- punctate, the interstices 3, 5,7, and 9 very sharply costate. Beneath 
opaque, finely punctate. Mesosternal walls hollowed at the middle, vertical and dentiform in front, the 
cavity not reaching the metasternum. Legs rather long and slender; femora more or less distinctly 
bidentate, the outer tooth sometimes very small or obsolete, the inner tooth usually long and acute. 
Length 4-53, breadth 23-31 millim. (¢ @.) 
Hab. Mexico, Alvarado (Chevrolat!), Toxpam in Vera Cruz (Sal/é); GUATEMALA, 
Las Mercedes, San Isidro, San Juan in Vera Paz (Champion); Panama, Bugaba, Volcan 
de Chiriqui (Champion). 
Ten specimens. Smaller and less elongate than E. marginatus, the elytra spotted 
(not obliquely fasciated) with white, the prothorax without a carina at the sides, &c. 
‘The type cannot now be found in the Stockholm Museum. 
13. Eubulus leucopleura, sp. n. (Tab. X XVII. figg. 12, 12, ¢.) 
Oblong-rhomboidal, black, the antenne ferruginous; thickly clothed with intermixed dark brown and ochreous 
scales, the latter clustered into small scattered fascicles on the elytra, the flanks and under surface of the 
prothorax (except at the base), the basal half of the rostrum, the head in part, the anterior coxa, 
the anterior femora in part, and two faint annuli on the intermediate and posterior femora, white, the 
prothorax and the alternate interstices of the elytra also set with coarse, erect, scattered, setiform scales. 
Head rugosely punctate, the transverse frontal depression limited above by the trisinuate margin of the 
vertex, the latter comparatively smooth, the eyes very large and well separated ; rostrum stout, strongly 
curved, reaching the front of the metasternum, rugosely punctate and finely carinate to the apex, the 
antenne inserted far before the middle, joint 2 of the funiculus elongate, much longer than 1 or 3, 
the club oblong-ovate, acuminate. Prothorax transverse, strongly constricted and much narrowed in 
front, the sides arcuately converging from near the base; densely punctate and sharply carinate. 
Elytra oblong-subcordate, produced at the apex; seriate-punctate, the interstices punctulate, 3, 5, 7, 
and 9 sharply, and 6 and 8 also towards the apex, carinate, the suture also raised. Beneath densely 
punctate. Legs elongate; anterior femora uni-, and the others bi-, dentate ; tibia almost equal in width 
to the apex. 
Length 74, breadth 35% millim. (3.) 
Hab. Paxama, David in Chiriqui (Champion).
