EUBULUS. 55 
22. Kubulus curvifasciatus, sp. n. (Tab. XXVII. figg. 22; 22a, anterior 
femur.) 
Rhomboidal, shining, black, the antenne, and the tarsi wholly or in part, ferruginous ; rather sparsely clothed 
with fulvous scales, with a few white scales intermixed, the latter condensed into a yy-shaped mark on 
the front of the head and a common, narrow, curved fascia on the elytra below the base, the upper 
surface also set with very short, scattered, semierect sete; the legs variegated with white. Head rugu- 
losely punctate, with a /\-shaped carina above the eyes, the latter large and rather narrowly separated ; 
rostrum strongly curved, nearly reaching the front of the metasternum, widened towards the base, rugose 
and carinate to near the middle, and minutely punctate thence to the apex, the antenne inserted at about 
midway, joint 2 of the funiculus rather longer than 1, the club ovate. Prothorax short, conical; densely 
punctate and arcuato-carinate. Scutellum small. Elytra much wider than the prothorax, transversely 
convex, triangular; punctate-striate, the interstices 3,5, 7, and 9 sharply costate. Beneath closely 
punctate. Legs rather long; femora bidentate, the inner tooth very sharp, the two teeth somewhat 
widely separated, especially on the anterior pair. 
Length 4, breadth 21-23 millim. (9?) 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
Three specimens. Recognizable by the bisinuate white mark on the front of the 
head, the conical prothorax, the narrow, curved, white fascia on the elytra, and the 
bidentate femora. 
23. Kubulus signatifrons, sp.n. (Tab. XXVII. figg. 23, 23, 9.) 
Subrhomboidal, black, the antenne and the tips of the tarsi ferruginous; sparsely clothed with small brown 
scales, the vestiture becoming denser on the flanks and beneath, the head with a Uy-shaped white mark 
in front, and the elytra with several white spots scattered across the middle of the disc, the femora also 
maculated with white; the upper surface sparsely set with short, erect sete, the legs setulose. Head 
rugulosely punctate, the transverse frontal depression limited by a /\-shaped ridge above the eyes, the 
latter large and well separated ; rostrum strongly curved, rather stout, longer and more slender in the 9, 
nearly (¢ ) or quite (@ ) reaching the metasternum, slightly widened towards the base, rugosely punctate 
and carinate in the ¢, the apical half shining and minutely punctate in the 9, the antennae inserted 
towards the tip in the ¢, and at a little beyond the middle in the 2, the funiculus slender, joint 2 longer 
than 1, the club ovate. Prothorax transverse, rapidly, arcuately narrowing from the base, constricted and 
much narrowed in front; densely, rugulosely punctate and arcuato-carinate. HElytra much wider than 
the prothorax, transversely convex, subtriangular, the humeri rounded and swollen; punctate-striate, the 
interstices rugulose, 3,5, 7, and 9 very sharply costate. Beneath densely punctate. Mesosternal walls 
vertical and dentiform in front. Legs moderately elongate; femora bidentate, the two teeth somewhat 
widely separated, especially on the anterior pair. 
Length 4—44, breadth 23 millim. (d 9.) 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
One pair, somewhat worn. ‘This insect agrees with £. curvifasciatus in having a 
bisinuate white frontal patch, but differs from that species in the shape of the 
prothorax, the maculation of the elytra, and the longer legs. The flanks of the 
prothorax are not clothed with white scales as in £. brevis and other allied forms. The 
second joint of the funiculus is much elongated in the female.
