prominent; finely punctate-striate, the interstices punctulate, 3, 5, 7, and 9 sharply costate. Beneath 
closely punctate. Legs moderately long; femora bidentate, the outer tooth very small and distant from 
the larger one; tibiz almost straight, angulate at the base externally, 
Length 43, breadth 21, millim. (9?) 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
Two specimens. A very peculiar form, with a . broad, subquadrate, abruptly 
constricted, quadrinodose prothorax, on the disc of which is a sharply-defined large 
black patch. 
55. Eubulus pulchellus, sp.n. (Tab. XXVIII. fige. 11, 11a.) 
Subrhomboidal, black, the antenne and the tips of the tarsi ferruginous ; thickly clothed with small purplish- 
brown scales, the vestiture becoming much coarser on the prothorax, the latter with four subtriangular 
spots (two at the base and two on the disc), and the elytra with a common, incomplete annulus on the 
anterior part of the disc, black, the sutural region thence to the apex mottled with black and white ; the 
head, the flanks and under surface of the prothorax, the shoulders of the elytra beneath, the sides of the 
mesosternum, the cox, femora, and abdomen, and the apices of the tibiz, more or less maculated with 
white or ochreous ; the prothorax with four fascicles of coarse, erect, setiform, black scales (two at the 
apex and one on each of the black spots on the middle of the disc), the rest of its surface and the sutural 
region of the elytra (except within the annulus) also set with scattered, shorter, erect, fulvous, white, and 
black scales, the legs setulose. Head rugulosely punctate, the eyes distant ; rostrum curved, nearly 
reaching the metasternum, rugosely punctate and carinate, the apical half finely punctate, the antenne 
inserted at about the middle, the funiculus slender, joint 2 slightly shorter than 1, the club ovate, 
Prothorax transverse, abruptly narrowed and constricted in front ; densely, rugulosely punctate, and with 
a short ridge or prominence midway between the arcuate median carina and the outer margin. Elytra 
much wider than the prothorax, subtriangular, transversely convex, the humeri obliquely truncated and 
rather prominent ; finely punctate-striate, the interstices punctulate, 3, 5, 7, and 9 very sharply costate. 
Beneath closely punctate. Legs rather short; femora unidentate, and with indications of a small 
additional prominence ; tibise almost straight, angulate at the base externally, 
Length 3,%,—-4,),, breadth 23-2} millim. (92?) 
Hab. Muxico, Jalapa (Hoge); Guaremata, Cerro Zunil (Champion). 
Four specimens. A very handsome insect, and easily known by the setigerous black 
spots on the prothorax, the albo-maculate flanks of the latter, the incomplete black 
annulus on the elytra, and the spotted legs. The general vestiture of the elytra is 
purplish-brown. 
I have seen an unnamed closely-allied form from Brazil in the Fry collection, 
56. Eubulus discoideus, sp.n. (Tab. XXVIIL figg. 12, 12a, 3.) 
Subrhomboidal, piceous or rufo-piceous, the elytra with a very large, common, heart-shaped, black patch at 
the base, the antennse ferruginous ; the head and the base of the rostrum clothed with white scales; the 
prothorax with scattered white and fulvous scales on the disc (the white scales condensed into two sinuous, 
curved lines on each side of the middle), and with a cluster of long, coarse, erect, fulvous and blackish 
scales in the centre, and some short, erect, blackish scales at the apex, the flanks and under surface 
densely clothed with fulyvous and whitish scales; the vestiture of the elytra entirely black on the dorsal 
patch and cinereous elsewhere, becoming fulvous on the shoulders and on the flanks, the surface also set 
with semierect, scattered, whitish, setiform scales, the third interstice with a small cluster of long, erect, 
black, fulvous, and white scales at the edge of the black patch ; the legs setulose, and variegated with 
tulvous, white, and brown scales ; the meso- and metasternum densely, and the abdomen more sparsely,
