EUBULUS. 573 
clothed with ochreous and white scales. Head rugulosely punctate, the eyes large and well separated ; 
rostrum curved, nearly reaching the metasternum, finely punctate and carinate, the antenne inserted near 
the tip, long, joint 1 of the funiculus much longer than 2, the club elongate-ovate. Prothorax short, 
rapidly, arcuately narrowing from the base, strongly constricted and much narrowed in front; densely, 
rugulosely punctate, and with a short, arcuate median carina. Elytra much wider than the prothorax, 
subtriangular, transversely convex ; seriate-punctate, the interstices punctulate, 3,5, 7, and 9 sharply 
costate, the space occupied by the black patch flattened and rugulose, the ridge on the third interstice 
not impinging on it. Femora bidentate, the outer tooth small, the two teeth widely separated on the 
anterior pair. Tibi anguiate at the base externally. 
Length 44-5, breadth 24-24 millim. (¢.) 
Hab. GuatEMALa, San Gerénimo, Cerro Zunil (Champion). 
Two specimens, the one from Cerro Zunil partially abraded. The flattened, heart- 
shaped, velvety-black patch at the base of the elytra, followed by two fascicles of long 
erect scales, and the cluster of long scales around the short median carina of the 
prothorax, distinguish this species at a glance. 
57. Hubulus fulvodiscus, sp.n. (Tab. XXVIII. figg. 13, 13 a.) 
Subovate, nigro-piceous, the elytra with the depressed basal portion and the suture sometimes rufescent, the 
antenne and the tarsi in part ferruginous; the head thickly clothed with fulvous and white scales ; the 
prothorax fulvous or ochreous on the disc and dark brown at the sides and apex, the flanks whitish ; the 
elytra with a transverse, common, heart-shaped, fulvous patch at the base, surrounded by a dark brown 
annulus, the rest of their vestiture cinereous, intermixed with fulvous; the upper surface also set with 
scattered, rather long, erect setxe, the prothorax with three (placed transversely across the disc, the outer 
ones sometimes wanting), and the elytra with two (on the third interstice, at the edge of the fulvous 
patch), clusters of coarse, blackish-brown or fulvous sete; the legs variegated with white, setulose. 
Head rugulosely punctate, the eyes distant ; rostrum curved, nearly reaching the metasternum, rugosely 
punctate and subcarinate, the apical half finely punctate, the antenne inserted at about the middle, 
joint 2 of the funiculus much shorter than 1, the club oblong-ovate. Prothorax broad, transverse, 
abruptly narrowed and constricted in front; densely punctate and arcuato-carinate. Scutellum rounded. 
Elytra wider than the prothorax, transversely convex, subtriangular, the humeri rounded ; punctate- 
striate, the interstices punctulate, 3, 5, 7, and 9 sharply costate, the ridge on 3 depressed or interrupted 
within the annulus. Beneath dull, closely punctate. Legs rather short; femora bidentate, the small 
outer tooth sometimes obsolete ; tibia angulate at the base externally. 
Length 34-4, breadth 2-23 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Jalapa (Hoge), Teapa (7. H. Smith) ; Guatemata, Teleman (Champion) ; 
Panama, Bugaba, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
- Five specimens, one from each locality. The transverse, heart-shaped, fulvous patch 
at the base of the elytra (which is surrounded by a dark annulus, and duplicated, as it 
were, on the prothorax) sufficiently distinguishes this small species. The clusters of 
coarse sete, as in the allied LH. discoideus, are easily abraded, 
58. Hubulus pleurostigma, sp. n. 
Subovate, piceous, the antenne and the tips of the tarsi ferruginous ; the head, the basal half of the rostrum, 
the entire disc of the prothorax, and a broad, semicircular space at the base of the elytra, thickly clothed 
with fulvous scales, the rest of the elytral surface with darker scales, with a few white ones intermixed 
at the middle of the disc, the anterior margin of the prothorax and a broad space on its flanks, a spot
