EUBULUS. 56a 
inwards at the base, the suture also narrowly raised. Beneath coarsely, densely punctate. Metasternum 
angularly raised on each side above the posterior cox ; the flattened central portion, and a broad space 
down the middle of the first and fifth ventral segments, densely clothed with fulvous piliform scales in 
the. Legs elongate; femora bidentate; tibie long and of almost equal width to the apex. Penis-sheath 
broad, pointed at the tip. 
Length 8,,-94, breadth 42-5}, millim. (d 2.) 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
Many specimens. The uniformly-coloured scales on the prothorax, the small 
scattered fascicles of whitish scales on the elytra, the relatively long legs, with the 
tibie of equal width to the apex, and the ¢ characters, distinguish this species. In 
E. orthomasticus the fifth ventral segment only is pilose in the male; the prothorax is 
more asperate and the vestiture more variegate; and the legs are shorter, the tibize 
narrowed towards the apex. 
40. Eubulus alticarinatus, sp.n. (Tab. XXVIII. fig. 2, penis, ¢.) 
Extremely like E. pilipectus, but differing as follows :—The rostrum slightly shorter in both sexes; the second 
joint of the funiculus less elongate, a little longer than the third; the prothorax more distinctly asperate, 
the median carina becoming more prominent anteriorly ; the legs shorter, the tibia narrowed towards the 
apex; the metasternum and ventral segments 1 and 5 not pilose in the g; the penis-sheath broad, 
rounded at the tip. 
Length 62-93, breadth 33-5 millim. (¢ @.) 
Hab. Costa Rica, Pozo Azul (Underwood); Panama, Bugaba, Volcan de Chiriqui 
(Champion). 
A common insect in the forest-region of Chiriqui. It is so like EL. pilzpectus that 
unless the males of each are compared the two species would certainly be confused. 
The anteriorly raised prothoracic carina and the shorter, less parallel-sided tibia, 
however, sufficiently distinguish H. alticarinatus. The uniformly coloured vestiture 
of the prothorax, the less variegate elytra, &c. separate it from LH. aspericollis. 
41. Eubulus camelus, sp. n. (Tab. XXVIII. figg. 3, 3a, ¢.) 
Subrhomboidal, black, the antennz ferruginous ; the head and prothorax thickly clothed with fulvous scales, 
the vestiture of the rest of the upper surface sparser, reddish-brown, the elytra with a few scattered, 
suberect, setiform, whitish and blackish scales, the under surface and legs with intermixed reddish-brown 
and white scales. Head flattened in front, asperato-punctate, the oblique carine above the eyes not 
meeting at the middle; rostrum strongly curved, moderately long, rugosely punctate and carinate at the 
base, sparsely, finely punctate in its outer half, the antenne inserted behind the middle, joint 2 of 
the funiculus slightly longer than 3. Prothorax strongly transverse, constricted and greatly narrowed 
in front, the sides rounded at the middle and parallel at the base, the disc gibbous in the centre at the 
apex; densely punctate, feebly asperate, and sharply, horizontally carinate to near the base. Elytra 
much wider than the prothorax, triangular, compressed at the sides below the rounded, swollen humeri; 
seriate-punctate, the interstices 3, 5, 7, and 9 sharply carinate, the ridge on 5, 7, and 9 abruptly inter- 
rupted below the base, the outer ones smooth, the suture narrowly raised. Beneath densely punctate, 
Legs moderately long ; femora bidentate ; anterior tibiz of almost equal width to the apex. 
Length 73, breadth 43 millim. (¢.) 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion).
