EUBULUS. 561 
31. Eubulus diaspis, sp. n. 
Subrhomboidal, shining, black, the antenne ferruginous; sparsely clothed with small fulvous scales, which 
are clustered into irregular scattered patches on the elytra, and also somewhat thickly set with short, 
suberect sete, the setee abundant and conspicuous on the prothorax and legs, the prothorax more densely 
squamose beneath. Head rugosely punctate, and with an irregular arcuate ridge in front above the eyes, 
the latter large and somewhat widely separated ; rostrum reaching the front of the metasternum, rather 
slender, arcuate, rugosely punctate and tricarinate in its basal half, the median carina extending upwards 
between the eyes, the apical half almost smooth, the antennz inserted at about the middle, joints 1 and 2 
of the funiculus subequal in length, the club elongate-ovate. Prothorax transverse, much narrowed and 
feebly constricted in front, the sides subparallel at the base ; densely, rugosely punctate, and also sharply 
carinate, the interspaces here and there granulate. Scutellum oblong, rather small, with a smooth 
tubercle in front. Elytra much wider than the prothorax, subtriangular, considerably produced at the 
apex, the humeri swollen and rather prominent; punctate-striate, the interstices sparsely granulate, 
3, 5, 7, and 9 sharply costate. Beneath coarsely punctate; second ventral segment almost smooth in 
the middle, the fifth more finely punctate in the ¢. Mesosternal walls parallel, almost horizontal. Legs 
long; femora sublinear, bidentate, the outer tooth small, distinct on the anterior pair and almost obsolete 
on the others. 
Length 63-7, breadth 32-33 millim. (¢ Q.) 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
Three specimens. This insect somewhat approaches #. biangularis; but it has a 
longer antennal club, prominent humeri, a less transverse prothorax, more linear 
femora, &c. The scutellum is depressed and has a smooth tubercle in front, as in one 
or two other allied forms. 
32. Kubulus consanguineus, sp. n. 
Rhomboidal, shining, black, the antenne ferruginous; somewhat thickly clothed with fulvous scales, the elytra 
slightly mottled with brown and with a few whitish scales intermixed, the flanks of the prothorax with 
coarse whitish scales above the coxa, the upper surface also set with very short, scattered, semierect sete. 
Head rugosely punctate, the transverse frontal depression limited on each side anteriorly by an oblique 
carina, the two carine meeting at an obtuse angle in front, the eyes very large, prominent, and subcon- 
tiguous ; rostrum reaching the front of the metasternum, arcuate, widened towards the base, the basal 
portion rugosely punctate, laterally sulcate, and unicarinate, the long apical portion sparsely, minutely 
punctate, the antenne inserted at about the basal fourth, joints 1 and 2 of the funiculus subequal in 
length, the club stout, oblong-ovate. Prothorax strongly transverse, rapidly narrowing from the base ; 
coarsely, densely punctate and also carinate, the interspaces here and there raised into sinuous ruge. 
Elytra oblong-subcordate, a little wider than the prothorax, flattened on the disc anteriorly ; seriate- 
punctate, the interstices punctulate and sparsely granulate, 3, 5, 7, and 9 sharply costate, and 6 and 8 
feebly costate posteriorly, the suture also raised. Beneath closely, the ventral segments 2-4 more sparsely, 
punctate, 1 and 5 somewhat densely squamose in the ¢. Legs rather stout, the femora with a large 
triangular tooth and a small tooth exterior to it. 
Length 73, breadth 3,%-4 millim. (¢ 2.) 
Hab. Nicaracua, Chontales (Bele). 
Two specimens. Very like Z. bicuspis; but more densely squamose, the antenne 
inserted nearer the base of the rostrum, the frontal depression more distinct. 
38. Eubulus lamellatus, sp. n. (Tab. XXVII. fig. 28, head from in front.) 
Subovate, black, the antenne ferruginous; very sparsely clothed with brownish scales, the elytra with small 
scattered clusters of whitish scales, the upper surface also somewhat thickly set with short, suberect,
