EURBULUS. 555 
has a yellowish-white line running down the flanks of the prothorax to the anterior 
coxe ; but differs from it in having an m-shaped carina on the front of the head, a less 
rugose prothorax, and shining, rapidly-narrowed elytra, the latter with scattered 
white spots. 
18. Eubulus annulifer, sp.n. (Tab. XXVII. figg. 17, 17a, 2.) 
Ovate, convex, black, the antennz obscure ferruginous ; densely clothed with pale brown scales, the prothorax 
with an almost complete annulus on the disc, anda spot in the centre of this, black, the dark ring 
bordered externally by a pale one and the latter by a curved reddish-brown band, the elytra with a 
common, semicircular line (starting from the base of the fifth interstice and crossing the suture some 
distance below the base), and some spots near the apex, black, the apex and the spaces enclosed by the 
annuli ferruginous in one specimen, the legs with intermixed reddish-brown scales. Head convex, 
rugosely punctate, the eyes very large and rather narrowly separated ; rostrum reaching the front of the 
metasternum, arcuate, slender, widened, rugosely punctate, and carinate at the base, for the rest smooth 
and shining, the antenne inserted at about the basal third, joint 1 of the funiculus stout, 2 elongate, the 
club ovate. Prothorax strongly transverse, feebly constricted in front, the sides arcuately converging 
from the base; densely punctate and sharply arcuato-carinate. Elytra much wider than the prothorax, 
rapidly narrowing from about the basal fourth, the humeri rounded ; seriate-punctate, the interstices 
closely punctulate, 3, 5, 7, and 9 finely sinuato-costate, 6 and 8 also feebly carinate beyond the middle. 
Beneath densely punctate. Legs rather short; femora feebly clavate, bidentate, the outer tooth almost 
obsolete on the anterior and intermediate pairs, the inner tooth large, triangular, that on the posterior 
pair very prominent ; anterior tibiz sinuous. 
Length 53-64, breadth 38-33 millim. (@.) 
Hab. Gvatemaua, Chacoj in the Polochic Valley (Champion); Panama, Volcan de 
Chiriqui (Champion). 
Two specimens, the one from Guatemala having the enclosed spaces on the prothorax 
and elytra, and the eyes, reddish. A remarkable insect, and recognizable at a glance 
by the incomplete black ring on both the prothorax and elytra. 
19. Eubulus ocellatus, sp.n. (Tab. XXVII. fige. 18, 18a, 2.) 
Ovate, robust, convex, ferruginous (probably black when mature); rather sparsely clothed with small fulvous 
scales, with a few whitish scales intermixed, the head and prothorax variegated with white (the white 
scales on the head clustered into a transverse row of five spots), the prothorax with a round black spot 
on the middle of the disc bordered by a fulvous line, the scutellum ochreous. Head rugosely punctate, 
the frontal depression indistinct, the eyes large and moderately distant ; rostrum arcuate, stout, rugosely 
punctate and carinate at the base, and thence to the apex very finely punctate, the antennz inserted far 
behind the middle, joints 1 and 2 of the funiculus subequal in length, the club ovate. Prothorax strongly 
transverse, the sides rapidly, arcuately converging from the base, the latter very deeply bisinuate, the 
median lobe emarginate; densely, rugosely punctate, carinate at the base. Scutellum large, rounded. 
Elytra at the sides forming an almost continuous outline with the prothorax, the humeri obtuse; seriate- 
punctate, the interstices closely punctulate and subgranulate, 3, 5, 7, and 9 costate. Beneath closely, 
finely punctate. Legs stout, short ; femora unidentate. 
Length 61, breadth 3,9; millim. (@.) 
Hab. Nicaracua, Chontales (Belt). 
One immature specimen, which I have ventured to name, on account of the peculiar 
black eye-like spot on the middle of the disc of the prothorax, a character separating
