562 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
fulvous and fuscous sete, the legs with fulvous scales and projecting sete. Head rugosely punctate, the 
transverse frontal depression limited anteriorly by a sharp carina, the eyes distant; rostrum arcuate, not 
quite reaching the metasternum, coarsely, rugosely punctate, and more or less distinctly tricarinate in its 
pasal half, the median carina sometimes extending upwards to the frontal ridge, the apical half sparsely, 
minutely punctate, the antennew inserted at about the middle, joints 1 and 2 of the funiculus subequal in 
length, the club oblong-ovate. Prothorax transverse, somewhat rounded at the sides, much narrowed 
in front; coarsely, rugosely punctate, and also carinate. Scutellum small, granulate. Elytra much 
wider than the prothorax, rapidly narrowing from a little below the base, the humeri somewhat obliquely 
truncated in front; seriate-punctate, striate near the suture, the interstices feebly granulate, 3, 5, 7, 
and 9 sharply costate, the suture also a little raised. Beneath closely punctate ; the fifth ventral segment 
in the ¢ more closely and finely punctured, and also somewhat flattened down the middle towards the 
apex in this sex. Penis slender, strongly curved. Legs moderately long, the femora unidentate. 
Length 51,-6, breadth 22-2,%, millim. (¢ 2.) 
Hab. Guatemata, Las Mercedes and Cerro Zunil, Pacific slope (Champion). 
Four specimens. Not unlike £. diaspis, but smaller and with shorter legs, the 
transverse frontal ridge more prominent, the antennal club shorter, the prothorax 
more coarsely punctate, the femora unidentate, without trace of an additional exterior 
denticle, the elytra with small, scattered clusters of whitish scales. 
34. Kubulus fulvisquamis, sp.n. (Tab. XXVII. figg. 29, 29a, 0, 3.) 
Ovate, black, ferruginous; the elytra closely mottled with rather coarse fulvous scales (the intervening spaces 
almost bare), the vestiture of the rest of the surface sparser and finer, the prothorax and elytra also set 
with short, suberect sete, the legs somewhat thickly clothed with small fulvous scales. Head coarsely, 
densely punctate, the eyes widely separated ; rostrum arcuate, rather slender, reaching the front of the 
metasternum, rugosely punctate and tricarinate in its basal half, for the rest sparsely, minutely punctate, 
the antennew inserted at about the middle, joints 1 and 2 of the funiculus subequal in length, the club 
oblong-ovate. Prothorax a little broader than long, narrowed and constricted in front, the sides 
subparallel from about the middle to the base; foveolato-punctate and also carinate. Scutellum small, 
oblong, depressed. Elytra much wider than the prothorax, rapidly narrowing from a little below the 
base, the humeri rounded; seriate-punctate, the interstices 3,5, 7, and 9 sharply, and 6 and 8 more 
feebly, costate. Beneath coarsely, closely punctate, the fifth ventral segment foveate. Legs moderately 
long, the femora unidentate. 
Length 5, breadth 22 millim. (d¢.) 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
One specimen. Not unlike £. lamellatus, but with a relatively narrower, foveolate 
prothorax, the frontal carina wanting, the elytra closely mottled with fulvous scales. 
35. Kubulus marcidus, sp. n. 
Subovate, rather narrow, shining, piceous, the antennez ferruginous; sparsely clothed with minute brownish 
scales, the elytra with small, scattered patches of whitish scales intermixed, the entire surface also some- 
what thickly set with short, suberect, ochreous and fuscous sete. Head rugosely punctate, the eyes 
widely separated; rostrum arcuate, rather slender, reaching the front of the metasternum, rugosely 
punctate and tricarinate to about the middle, the apical half minutely punctate, the antenne inserted 
about midway, joints 1 and 2 of the funiculus subequal in length, the club ovate. Prothorax transverse, 
narrowed and constricted in front, the sides parallel at the base; densely, rugulosely punctate and also 
carinate. Scutellum narrow, depressed, granulate. Elytra much wider than the prothorax, rapidly 
narrowing from a little below the base, the humeri rounded; seriate-punctate, striate near the suture,
