554 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
orange-yellow ; the prothorax shorter ; the legs less elongate, the femora unidentate, 
the tooth placed at the middle, that on the anterior long and blunt. 
16. Eubulus lineatipleura, sp.n. (Tab. XXVII. figg. 15, 154, ¢.) 
Subovate, rather broad, opaque, black, the antenne and the tips of the tarsi ferruginous ; above sparsely, the 
legs, metasternum, and ventral surface thickly, clothed with reddish-brown scales, which are clustered 
into fascicles on the elytra, the latter each with a narrow, transverse, white fascia on the disc before the 
middle and two or three small white spots at the sides below this, the anterior femora in front (except at 
the apex), a curved line on the anterior part of the flanks of the prothorax extending downwards to the 
anterior coxe, and the anterior coxw themselves, whitish-ochreous, the upper surface also set with very 
short, scattered, rather coarse sete, the intermediate and posterior femora subannulate with ochreous. 
Head rugosely punctate and feebly carinate above, with a transverse interrupted ridge placed at some 
distance above the widely-separated eyes, the intervening space transversely sulcate, and the interocular 
space also grooved on each side ; rostrum arcuate, not quite reaching the metasternum, rugosely punctate 
and feebly carinate in its basal two-thirds, the apical portion finely, rather closely punctate, the antenne 
inserted at a little beyond the middle, joints 1 and 2 of the funiculus subequal in length, the club ovate, 
acuminate. Prothorax strongly transverse, constricted and much narrowed in front, the ocular lobes 
large; rather sparsely punctate and very sharply carinate, each puncture placed in a shallow fovea. 
Scutellum small, tuberculate. Elytra alutaceous, much wider than the prothorax, subtriangular, the 
humeri rather prominent and obliquely truncated ; seriate-punctate, the interstices uneven, 3, 5, and 7 
sharply and narrowly, and 9 more feebly, costate. Metasternum and abdomen closely punctate, the 
second ventral segment almost smooth. Legs rather stout, the femora unidentate. 
Length 53, breadth 3 millim. (d-) 
Hab. Mexico, Toxpam in Vera Cruz (Sallé). 
One specimen only of this peculiar species has been received. Various Conotrachelt 
have a somewhat similar curved, vertical, whitish line on the flanks of the prothorax ; 
the prothorax itself is shallowly foveolate, as well as punctate. 
17. Eubulus carinifrons, sp.n. (Tab. XXVII. figg. 16, 16a, 6, 3.) 
Subovate, black, the antenne and the tips of the tarsi ferruginous ; sparsely clothed with small brown scales, 
the elytra with scattered irregular patches of coarser white scales intermixed, the prothorax with a curved 
whitish line on the anterior part of the flanks extending downwards to the anterior coxe, the elytra 
sparsely, and the head and prothorax more closely, set with short, suberect, dark sete ; the under surface 
and legs somewhat thickly clothed with reddish-brown scales, the legs setulose, the anterior femora in 
front, and a faint annulus on the intermediate and posterior femora, pale ochreous. Head rugosely 
punctate, the front with an m-shaped carina, which is continued round to the outer edge of the eyes, the 
latter widely separated ; rostrum arcuate, moderately stout, nearly reaching the metasternum, widened 
towards the base, coarsely, rugosely punctate and feebly tricarinate in its basal half, and thence to the 
apex minutely punctate, the antenne inserted at a little beyond the middle, joints 1 and 2 of the funiculus 
equal in length, the club ovate. Prothorax transverse, constricted and narrowed in front, opaque ; 
rugosely punctate and sharply carinate. Scutellum small, oval. Elytra shining, triangular, much wider 
than the prothorax, the humeri prominent and obliquely truncated ; seriate-punctate, the interstices 
subgranulate, 3, 5, 7, and 9 sharply costate. Beneath closely punctate, the second ventral segment 
smoother. Legs rather slender, the femora unidentate. 
Length 5, breadth 2% millim. (¢.) 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
One specimen. This species is allied to the Mexican £. lineatipleura, which also
