568 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
Three specimens. Very like &. biangularis, but shorter and broader, the legs 
shorter and stouter, the inner tooth of the femora long and acute, the tibie not so 
straight, the prothorax more finely punctured and with the vestiture in great part 
blackish on the disc, the metathoracic episterna narrow. 
46. Kubulus deceptor, sp. n. 
Ovate, shining, black, the antennsw fusco-ferruginous ; thickly clothed with fulvous scales, the prothorax with 
numerous intermixed, narrow, blackish setiform scales, the elytra also mottled with black, especially 
towards the suture. Head densely, rugosely punctate, transversely depressed above the /\-shaped 
frontal carina, the eyes very large and narrowly separated; rostrum strongly curved, reaching the front 
of the metasternum, widened and rugosely punctate at the base, the apical two-thirds very sparingly, 
finely punctate, the antenne inserted far behind the middle, joints 1 and 2 of the funiculus equal in 
length, the club rotundate-ovate, stout. Prothorax transverse, arcuately narrowing from near the base ; 
densely, finely punctate, and also carinate. Elytra subcordate; seriate-punctate, the interstices punc- 
tulate, 3, 5,7, and 9 very sharply costate, the suture also a little raised. Beneath densely punctate. 
Metathoracic episterna narrow. Legs stout, rather short; femora feebly clavate, bidentate, the inner 
tooth long. 
Length 5%, breadth 3 millim. (9 ?) 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
One specimen. Extremely like Celosternus tardipes, but a little less elongate in 
shape, the antennal club rotundate-ovate, the femora less clavate, the upper surface 
without intermixed whitish scales. The subcontiguous eyes, the finer sculpture of 
the prothorax, and the less mottled vestiture separate 7. deceptor from LE. irrubescens. 
47. Kubulus atricollis, sp. n. 
Subovate, black, the antenne and the tips of the tarsi ferruginous; the prothorax with widely scattered, erect, 
black sets, which are clustered into two small fascicles on the disc and two others at the apex ; the elytra 
somewhat thickly clothed with rather coarse fulvous scales, with erect setiform scales intermixed, the 
apical half mottled with black, the base and apex sparsely squamose (? abraded) ; the rest of the vestiture 
sparse, fulvous. Head rugosely punctate, and with a faint median carina, the eyes widely separated ; 
rostrum strongly curved, stout, very little longer than the prothorax, rugosely punctate and sharply 
carinate, the apical half rather sparsely punctate, the antenna inserted slightly beyond the middle, 
joint 2 of the funiculus shorter than 1, the club ovate. Prothorax transverse, abruptly narrowed and 
constricted in front; dull, densely, rugulosely punctate, sharply carinate, and with four prominences 
placed in a transverse series across the middle, the outer two marginal. Scutellum narrow, smooth. 
Elytra rather long, subtriangular, much wider than the prothorax, the humeri prominent, obliquely 
truncated in front; shining, punctate-striate, the interstices punctulate, 3, 5, 7, and 9 sharply costate. 
Beneath closely punctate. Femora sharply unidentate. 
Length 5, breadth 22 millim. (¢.) 
Hab, Guatumata, Senahu in Vera Paz (Champion). 
One specimen. At first sight, this insect appears to have the prothorax abraded, 
but this is probably not the case, the erect black sete being present ; the two setigerous 
tubercles on the disc are prominent. ‘The vestiture of the elytra is coarse and in great 
part fulvous.
