interstices, and the bidentate femora, sufficiently distinguish £. dcdentatus. It 
resembles E. punctifrons, but the latter is less convex, and has all the interstices 
costate, the prothorax less narrowed in front, &c. 
29, Eubulus bicuspis, sp. n. 
Rhomboidal, shining, black, the antenne ferruginous; sparsely clothed with rather coarse fulvous scales, the 
elytra with fuscous scales intermixed, the upper surface also set with very short, semierect, light and 
dark sete. Head rugosely punctate, obliquely carinate above the narrowly separated eyes, the two 
carine meeting at an obtuse angle in front; rostrum moderately stout, arcuate, widened towards the 
base, reaching the front of the metasternum, rugosely punctate and interruptedly tricostate in its basal 
half, the median carina extending upwards, the apical half very finely, sparsely punctate, the antenns 
inserted at a little behind the middle, joints 1 and 2 of the funiculns equal in length, the club large, 
oblong-ovate. Prothorax strongly transverse, rapidly narrowing from the base; coarsely, densely 
punctate and also carinate. Elytra wider than the prothorax, subcordate; seriate-punctate, the 
interstices faintly granulate, 3, 5, 7, and 9 sharply costate, and 6 and 8 feebly costate posteriorly, 
the suture also a little raised. Beneath coarsely punctate ; fifth ventral segment broadly depressed down 
the middle. Legs rather stout, moderately long, the femora bidentate, the inner tooth long. 
Length 6, breadth 34 millim. (¢.-) 
Hab. Panama, David (Champion). 
One specimen. This insect is chiefly recognizable by its rhomboidal form; the 
short, somewhat conical, rugosely punctate prothorax; the fasciculate elytra, with 
sharply costate alternate interstices; and the bidentate femora. 
30. Eubulus longipes, sp.n. (Tab. XXVII. figg. 27, 27 a.) 
Subrhomboidal, shining, black, the antennew obscure ferruginous ; sparsely clothed with rather coarse fulvous 
or ochreous scales, which are clustered into small scattered fascicles on the elytra, and also somewhat 
thickly set with short, suberect, coarse, fuscous set, the prothorax more densely squamose beneath, the 
legs squamose and setose. Head rugosely punctate, the transverse frontal depression carinate down 
the middle and limited anteriorly by an oblique irregular ridge above each eye, the eyes widely separated ; 
rostrum reaching the front of the metasternum, arcuate, rugosely punctate and tricarinate in its basal 
half, the median carina extending upwards, the apical half almost smooth, the antenne inserted at about 
the middle, joints 1-3 of the funiculus subequal in length, the club cylindrical, longer than the preceding 
four joints united. Prothorax transverse, much narrowed and feebly constricted in front; densely, 
rugosely punctate and also sharply carinate, the interspaces eranulate. Scutellum oblong, rather small, 
with a smooth tubercle in front. Elytra much wider than the prothorax, subtriangular, considerably 
produced at the apex; punctate-striate, the interstices sparsely granulate, 3, 5, 7, and 9 very sharply, 
and 6 (except at the base) and 8 more feebly, carinate. Beneath coarsely, closely punctate. Meso- 
sternal walls obtusely dentate in front. Legs elongate, the femora linear, unidentate. 
Length 63, breadth 33 millim. (9 *) 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
One specimen. This insect is nearly related to £. diaspis, from which it differs in 
its coarser vestiture, the longer antennal club, the well-marked frontal depression, the 
more sparsely fasciculate elytra, the longer legs, and the unidentate femora, The elytra 
are sparsely clothed with intermixed ochreous and fuscous scales.
