576 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
rapidly narrowing from a little below the base, the humeri rounded; punctate-striate, the interstices 
83, 5,7, and 9 sharply costate. Beneath alutaceous, the ventral segments 2-4 very sparsely, and the 
others closely, punctate. Legs rather short; femora sharply unidentate ; tibize subangulate at the base 
externally. 
Length 31, breadth 1,9, millim. ( 2 ?) 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
One specimen. This species approaches EL. circwmductus, but it has less prominent 
humeri, and a narrower, continuous, blackish annulus on the prothorax and elytra, this 
being preceded by a narrow arcuate fascia; the legs, too, are shorter and the eyes 
smaller. 
63. Kubulus bifasciculatus, sp. n. 
Subovate, nigro-piceous, the antennz and the tips of the tarsi ferruginous, the rostrum rufo-piceous ; thickly 
clothed with small brown scales, the vestiture of the flanks of the prothorax paler, that of the disc of the 
latter and of a large, common, semicircular space at the base of the elytra blackish ; the upper surface 
also set with coarse, scattered, erect, light and dark sete, the elytra each with a conspicuous fascicle of 
coarse black sete: on the third interstice at some distance below the base, the legs setulose. Head 
rugulosely punctate, the eyes distant; rostrum curved, reaching to the middle of the intermediate coxa, 
rugulosely punctate and carinate at the base, the apical half sparsely, minutely punctate, the antenne 
inserted at the middle, joint 2 of the funiculus much shorter than 1, the club stout, ovate. Prothorax 
transverse, narrowing from the base, constricted in front; closely punctate and sharply carinate. Elytra 
much wider than the prothorax, rapidly narrowing from a little below the base; punctate-striate, 
the interstices 3, 5, 7, and 9 sharply costate. Beneath closely punctate. Legs rather short; femora 
unidentate ; tibie: almost straight, angulate at the base externally. 
Length 33, breadth 2,1, millim. (¢9.) 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
One specimen. Very like E. circumlitus, E. dumicola, &c., but with a dense fascicle 
of coarse, erect, black sete on the third elytral interstice at some distance below the 
base. The dark scales on the pronotum extend over a large subtriangular space, which 
reaches the apex, and the elytra have a somewhat similarly-shaped dark area at the 
base. 
64. Kubulus angularis, sp.n. (Tab. XXVIII. figg. 17, 17a, 2.) 
Elliptic, rufo-piceous, the head, pronotum, a large triangular space at the base of the elytra, and some 
irregular markings between this and the apex, black; the vestiture fulvous on the light-coloured portions 
of the surface and blackish elsewhere, the triangular black patch usually bordered posteriorly by a more 
or less distinct, oblique, ochreous streak ; the upper surface also thickly set with long, suberect sete, the 
legs setulose. Head rugulosely punctate, the eyes rather narrowly separated in the ¢, more distant in 
the 2; rostrum curved, nearly reaching the metasternum, rugulosely punctate and finely carinate, sparsely 
punctate at the tip, that of the 2 much smoother in its outer half, the antenne inserted at (2) ora 
little beyond ( g) the middle, joint 2 of the funiculus much shorter than 1, the club ovate. Prothorax 
transverse, subconical, feebly constricted in front; dull, closely punctate, and arcuato-carinate. Elytra 
much broader than the prothorax, rapidly narrowing from a little below the base, the humeri rounded ; 
punctate-striate, the interstices closely punctulate, 3, 5,7, and 9 sharply costate. Beneath opaque, 
closely punctate. Mesosternum horseshoe-shaped, the walls hollowed. Legs short ; femora obsoletely 
unidentate, the tooth on the anterior pair sometimes wanting; tibie almost straight, angulate at the 
base externally. 
Length 33-32, breadth 1}-1,9, millim. (¢ 9 .)
