574 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
beneath the humeri, and a narrow space between the eyes, also white; the vestiture of the under surface 
fulvous and whitish, that of the legs brown, annulated with whitish ; the upper surface also sparsely set 
with very long, erect sete, which are clustered into three small fascicles on the prothorax (two at the 
apex and one on the disc) and are seriately arranged on the alternate elytral interstices, the legs setose. 
Head rugulosely punctate, the eyes distant; rostrum feebly curved, stout, very little longer than the pro- 
thorax, rugulosely punctate and carinate, finely punctate at the tip, the antenne inserted beyond the middle, 
joint 2 of the funiculus about half the length of 1, the club ovate. Prothorax transverse, arcuately 
narrowing from the base, constricted and narrowed in front; densely punctate and feebly carinate. 
Scutellum rounded. Elytra wider than the prothorax, narrowing from a little below the base ; shining, 
punctate-striate, the interstices punctulate, 3, 5, 7, and 9 convex, the others almost flat. Beneath dull, 
closely, finely punctate. Mesosternum horseshoe-shaped. Legs rather slender; femora unidentate ; 
tibie angulate at the base externally. 
Length 23, breadth 14 millim. (<¢.) 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
One specimen. This minute species agrees with E. fulvodiscus in having a common 
fulvous patch on the prothorax and elytra, and the flanks of the former white; but it 
is smaller, the elytra are parallel at the base, with the raised alternate interstices simply 
convex, the sete of the upper surface are very long and clustered into two prominent 
fascicles at the apex of the prothorax, and the legs are more slender. 
59. Kubulus maculifrons, sp.n. (Tab. XXVIII. figg 14; 14a, ant. femora.) 
Subrhomboidal, piceous, the antennz and the tips of the tarsi ferruginous; somewhat thickly clothed with 
small fulvous scales, with a few whitish scales intermixed, the vestiture of the prothorax sparser, the 
latter with an oblong white spot in the middle at the base, the head with a dense, transverse, slightly 
emarginate, white patch in front, the femora albo-annulate. Head rugulosely punctate, the transverse, 
oval, frontal depression large, the eyes subcontiguous ; rostrum curved, not quite reaching the meta- 
sternum, slightly widened, rugulose, and carinate at the base, and minutely punctate thence to the tip, 
the antenne inserted behind the middle, joint 2 of the funiculus much shorter than 1, the club ovate. 
Prothorax short, narrowing from the base, feebly constricted in front; densely, finely punctate, arcuato- 
carinate, the carina not reaching the apex. Scutellum flattened, punctulate. Elytra wider than the 
prothorax, rapidly narrowed from about the basal third; seriate-punctate, the interstices punctulate, 
3, 5, 7,and 9 sharply costate. Beneath dull, closely punctate. Legs short; anterior and intermediate 
femora sharply unidentate, the posterior pair strongly bidentate ; tibiee angulate at the base externally. 
Length 3-33, breadth 14-14 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui, Caldera (Champion). 
Two specimens. Very like £. nimbatus, but smaller, the albo-squamose frontal 
depression differently shaped, the rostrum less elongate, the second joint of the 
funiculus shorter than the first, the prothorax less coarsely punctate, with the median 
carina abbreviated, the elytra broader than the prothorax at the base, the posterior 
femora strongly bidentate, the tibiee angulate at the base, the white spots at the sides 
of the body beneath wanting. 
60. Kubulus laticollis, sp. n. 
Subovate, shining, black, the antenne and tarsi ferruginous; rather sparsely clothed with fulvous scales, the 
entire disc of the prothorax, and a common, transverse, subtriangular space at the base of the elytra, with 
numerous intermixed black scales, the rest of the elytra and the legs slightly mottled with cinereous and
