EUBULUS. 57) 
black; the upper surface also set with a few, short, scattered, semierect, setiform scales, which are 
clustered into a small fascicle on the centre of the prothorax, the legs setose. Head rugulosely punctate, 
broadly, transversely depressed above the eyes, the latter somewhat distant ; rostrum curved, cylindrical, 
nearly reaching the metasternum, rugosely punctate and finely carinate, smoother at the tip, the antenne 
inserted towards the apex, joint 2 of the funiculus shorter than 1, the club ovate. Prothorax nearly as 
wide as the elytra, the posterior lobe transversely quadrate, twice as broad as long, the anterior lobe 
narrow, the disc somewhat depressed; densely punctate and arcuato-carinate. Elytra transversely 
convex, rapidly narrowing from about the basal third, constricted behind the prominent, obliquely trun- 
cate humeri; punctate-striate, the interstices punctulate, 3,5, and 7 very sharply costate. Beneath 
closely punctate. Mesosternum broad, horseshoe-shaped, the walls hollowed. Legs rather elongate ; 
femora feebly unidentate, the anterior pair with a small additional tooth ; tibie almost straight, angulate 
at the base externally. 
Length 33, breadth 13 millim. (¢.) 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
One specimen. The broad, subquadrate prothorax, the transverse, triangular, blackish 
patch at the base of the elytra, the prominent, obliquely truncated humeri, and the 
comparatively long legs are the chief characters of this small species. 
61. Kubulus circumductus, sp.n. (Tab. XXVIII. fig. 15.) 
Subrhomboidal, rufo-piceous, the antenne and the tip of the rostrum ferruginous, the prothorax with a very 
broad, transverse, arcuate fascia extending forwards along the middle to the apex, and the elytra with a 
common, narrower, incomplete annulus on the disc at the base, black; the vestiture close, pale brown, 
becoming somewhat whitish on the flanks of the prothorax and black on the dark portions of the surface, 
the prothorax and elytra also set with short, coarse, semierect, scattered setee, the legs setulose. Head 
rugulosely punctate, the eyes distant; rostrum curved, stout, nearly reaching the metasternum, rugulosely 
punctate and obsoletely carinate, finely punctate at the tip, the antenne inserted near the middle, joint 2 
of the funiculus much shorter than 1, the club oblong-ovate. Prothorax transverse, narrowing from the 
base, constricted in front; densely punctate and also carinate. Elytra much wider than the prothorax, 
triangular, transversely convex ; punctate-striate, the interstices closely punctulate, 3, 5, 7, and 9 sharply 
costate. Beneath closely punctate. Mesosternum broad, horseshoe-shaped. Legs rather long; femora 
unidentate ; tibiee subangulate at the base externally. 
Length 32, breadth 2 millim. (<¢.) 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
One specimen. In this insect the incomplete black annulus of the elytra is 
continued, as it were, on the prothorax, where it becomes much broader, leaving only 
a small rounded brownish patch at the base. 
62. Kubulus circumlitus, sp.n. (Tab. XXVIII. fig. 16.) 
Subovate, piceous, the antenne and the tip of the rostrum ferruginous ; thickly clothed with brown scales, 
which become whitish on the head and on the anterior lobe and flanks of the prothorax, the prothorax 
and elytra with a common blackish annulus, preceded by a transverse, arcuate, infuscate fascia, the upper 
surface also set with a few short, scattered, semierect sete. Head rugulosely punctate, the eyes rather small 
and widely separated ; rostrum curved, nearly reaching the metasternum, rugulosely punctate and feebly 
carinate, the apical half very finely punctate, the antenne inserted slightly beyond the middle, joints 2-7 
of the funiculus slender, short, the club oblong-ovate. Prothorax short, arcuately narrowing from 
the base, constricted in front; densely punctate and also carinate. Elytra wider than the prothorax,
