578 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
E. dumicola, but with the disc of the prothorax more uneven and the sete of the upper 
surface a little finer, the flanks of the prothorax not clothed with paler scales, the 
elytra each with a sharply-defined, short, oblique, ochreous streak on the disc. 
67. Kubulus lineatulus, sp. n. (Tab. XXVIII. figg. 20, 20a, ¢.) 
Subovate, nigro-piceous, the antennew, the apex of the rostrum, and the tips of the tarsi more or less ferru- 
ginous; variegated above with a dense clothing of brown, ochreous, and whitish scales, the prothorax 
with a subquadrate patch or two curved streaks on the disc blackish, and the flanks ochreous and white, 
the elytra with the fourth and eighth interstices ochreous throughout and the third and fifth maculated 
with black and white, the femora subannulate with ochreous or whitish; the upper surface somewhat 
thickly set with long, erect sete, which are clustered into three small fascicles across the middle of the 
prothorax, the legs setose. Head transversely depressed in front, the eyes distant; rostrum curved, 
stout, nearly reaching the metasternum, rugosely punctate and carinate, finely punctate at the tip, the 
apical half slightly smoother in the Q, the antenne inserted at (2) or a little beyond (¢ ) the middle, 
joint 2 of the funiculus about half the length of 1, the club ovate. Prothorax broad, transverse, abruptly 
narrowed and constricted in front; densely punctate, feebly carinate, obsoletely binodose on the disc. 
Elytra narrowing from the base, wider than the prothorax; punctate-striate, the interstices closely 
punctulate, 3, 5, 7, and 9 sharply costate. Beneath dull, closely punctate. Mesosternum horseshoe- 
shaped. Legs rather short; femora each with a small sharp tooth and a minute prominence exterior 
to it; tibiz almost straight, angulate at the base externally. 
Length 33, breadth 2 millim. (¢ 2.) 
Hab. Guatemaua, Pantaleon, Pacific slope (Champion). 
Two specimens. The vestiture of the elytra in this insect is rather like that of a 
Hypera, the third and fifth interstices being marked with black and white, while the 
fourth and eighth are ochreous throughout. The sete on the prothorax are coarse, 
fasciculate, and blackish on the disc. 
68. Hubulus campestris, sp.n. (Tab. XXVIII. fig. 21.) 
Subovate, piceous, the antenne, rostrum, and tarsi more or less ferruginous ; the prothorax with two sub- 
triangular patches at the base, and the elytra with a common, transverse, subcordate patch on the disc 
before the middle, and a sharply-defined spot on the third interstice beyond the middle, infuscate or 
black, these markings clothed with black scales, the rest of the vestiture close, in great part pale brown, 
except for the broad, oblique, whitish fascia on the disc of each elytron, the femora subannulate ; the 
upper surface also somewhat thickly clothed with long, erect sete, which are black, coarse, and squami- 
form on the dark portions of the elytra, the legs setose. Head rugulosely punctate, the eyes somewhat 
distant ; rostrum curved, a little longer than the prothorax, rugulosely punctate at the base, the apical 
half finely punctate, the antenne inserted at about the middle, joint 2 of the funiculus half the length 
of 1, the club ovate. Prothorax transverse, much narrowed and feebly constricted in front; closely, 
finely punctate, obsoletely carinate at about the middle. Elytra much wider than the prothorax, 
narrowing from a little below the base; punctate-striate, the interstices rugulose, 3, 5, 7, and 9 costate. 
Beneath dull, closely punctate. Femora feebly unidentate. Tibie almost straight, angulate at the base 
externally. 
Length 33-33, breadth 12 millim. (9?) 
Hab. Panama, David (Champion). 
Two specimens. Near E. bisignatus (Say), but with the oblique whitish fascia on 
the elytra preceded by a sharply-defined, subcordate, black patch and followed by two 
black spots, the upper surface and legs set with long sete.
