580 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
non-constricted prothorax separates this minute species from all the allied forms with 
long, erect sete. | 
72. Eubulus biplagiatus, sp.n. (Tab. XXVIII. fig. 23.) 
Very near £. crispus ; the elytra variegated with rufo-piceous, and each with a sharply-defined, broad, oblique, 
whitish or ochreous fascia on the disc before the middle, the scales on the head and the base of the 
rostrum sometimes similarly coloured ; the sete usually a little shorter and coarser, especially on the 
prothorax. 
Length 23-34, breadth 14-14 millim. (¢ 9.) 
Hab. Muxtco, Jalapa, Tapachula (Hoge); British Honpuras, Rio Sarstoon (Blanc- 
aneauz); GUATEMALA, Sabo in Vera Paz, San Isidro (Champion); Panama, David, 
Bugaba (Champion).—? Brazit. 
Twelve specimens, differing from E. crispus and its allies in having a large, oblique, 
sharply-defined, ochreous or whitish patch on each elytron. The sete on the prothorax 
are sometimes short, coarse, and in great part black. There is a specimen from Brazil 
in the Fry collection that may belong to this species. 
73. Eubulus dumicola, sp. n. 
Subovate, nigro-piceous, the antenne, the apex of the rostrum, and the tips of the tarsi ferruginous ; somewhat 
thickly clothed with fulvous scales, the anterior portion, flanks, and under surface of the prothorax, a spot 
beneath the humeri, and a more or less distinct, narrow, oblique streak on the disc of each elytron below the 
base, whitish or ochreous, the elytra mottled with black and also with a few other scattered whitish scales, 
the legs annulate with whitish ; the upper surface set with scattered, short, coarse, erect, setiform scales, 
those on the prothorax mostly black and clustered into a fascicle at the middle, and sometimes another 
one on each side of it and two at the apex, the legs setulose. Head rugulosely punctate, flattened 
in front, depressed between the eyes, and sometimes with a faint oblique ridge above them, the eyes 
themselves distant; rostrum curved, not quite reaching the metasternum, slightly widened towards the 
base, rugulosely punctate and obsoletely tricarinate, the apex rather sparsely punctate, the apical half 
smoother in the 9, the antennz inserted towards the tip in the ¢, and at about the middle in the o, 
joint 2 of the,funiculus much shorter than 1, the club ovate. Prothorax transverse, constricted and 
abruptly narrowed in front; densely punctate and arcuato-carinate. Elytra much wider than the 
prothorax, narrowing trom the base; punctate-striate, the interstices punctulate, 3, 5, 7, and 9 sharply 
costate. Beneath closely punctate. Femora unidentate, and sometimes with a small additional tooth. 
Tibie subangulate at the base externally. 
Length 33-4,'5, breadth 2-21, millim. (¢ 9.) 
Hab. Guatemata, Las Mercedes, Zapote, Capetillo, Chacoj, San Juan (Champion) ; 
Panama, Bugaba, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). | 
The above description is taken from the specimens from Guatemala. Several others, 
apparently all females, from Chiriqui, seem also to belong to it. The ochreous or 
whitish vestiture of the flanks and anterior lobe of the prothorax, and the mottled 
elytra, which usually have a narrow oblique whitish streak on the disc, chiefly distin- 
guish 4. dumicola. The coarse black sete on the prothorax are often abraded. The 
armature of the femora is variable. :
