The sixteen specimens of this insect obtained from within our limits differ from those 
from Brazil in having the very large, broad oval, brownish-black patch on the disc 
(which is common to the prothorax and the base of the elytra) rounded behind, instead 
of extending angularly down the suture. The dark patch is bordered with a white 
line; the head and the anterior part of the flanks of the prothorax are reticulated with 
white; and the base of the rostrum, the sides of the prosternum, the front coxe, and 
the base of the anterior femora are also clothed with pure white scales. The second 
ventral segment is very narrow behind the posterior cox, and angularly dilated at the 
sides posteriorly. The femora are bidentate. The male has the penis very slender 
and strongly curved. 
15. Eubulus ignifer, sp.n. (Tab. XXVIL. figg. 14, 14a, 9; 144, anterior femur.) 
Subovate, convex, black, the antenna ferruginous; densely clothed with rufo-ferruginous scales, which 
become brownish in colour towards the sides and apex of the elytra, on the underside of the prothorax, 
and on the abdomen, the prothorax and elytra with a large, common, indeterminate, orange-yellow patch 
on the disc, the elytra each with an oblique white line extending from the shoulder to about the middle 
of the suture, which is continued forwards along the sides of the prothorax and around the eyes, the elytra 
also with very small scattered white spots between the oblique line and the apex, the flanks of the pro- 
thorax, the base of the rostrum, the anterior cox, and the legs more or less reticulate or annulate with 
white. Head densely punctate, flattened and sharply carinate down the middle in front, the eyes large 
and moderately distant ; rostrum arcuate, rather slender, reaching the front of the metasternum, rugosely 
punctate and carinate at the base, and smooth thence to the tip, the antennx inserted far behind the 
middle, the funiculus slender, joints 2 and 3 elongate, 2 longer than 3, the club ovate. Prothorax strongly 
transverse, feebly constricted in front, the sides rounded anteriorly and parallel behind ; densely punctate 
and sharply carinate. LElytra wider than the prothorax, rapidly narrowing from a little below the base ; 
seriate-punctate, the interstices closely punctulate, 3, 5, 7, and 9 sharply costate, the ridge on 3 not 
reaching the base. Beneath densely, finely punctate. Legs moderately long; femora feebly clavate, 
strongly unidentate, the tooth placed at the middle, that on the anterior pair long and blunt, the other 
teeth acute and triangular. 
Length 54-6, breadth 23-31 millim. (?3 & Q .)

Ten specimens, eight of which are from Chiriqui. Smaller and more ovate than
