EUBULUS. 581 
74. Kubulus melanotus, sp. n. (Tab. XXVIII. figg. 24, 24a, 2.) 
Subrhomboidal, dull, black, the antenne, the tip of the rostrum, and the apical joint of the tarsi, more or less 
ferruginous ; thickly clothed above with blackish scales, the elytra each with a short, oblique, narrow, 
ochreous, sharply-defined streak on the disc before the middle; the vestiture of the flanks of the prothorax 
and of the under surface fulvous or brownish, that of the legs blackish and fulvous intermixed ; the upper 
surface also sparsely set with very short, erect, coarse, black, setiform scales, which are clustered into 
three fascicles on the prothorax (one on the dise and two at the apex), and are subseriately arranged 
down each of the alternate elytral interstices. Head rugulosely punctate, the eyes large and rather 
narrowly separated; rostrum curved, comparatively slender, about reaching the metasternum, rugulosely 
punctate and carinate, the apical half rather sparsely punctate, a little smoother in the 9, the antenna 
inserted far behind the middle, joint 2 of the funiculus much shorter than 1, the club ovate. Prothorax 
transverse, subconical, feebly constricted in front, the sides slightly rounded posteriorly ; densely punctate, 
and with an abbreviated, arcuate, median carina. Scutellum flattened. Elytra much wider than the 
prothorax, narrowing from the base; punctate-striate, the interstices closely punctulate, 3, 5, 7, and 9 
sharply costate. Beneath opaque, closely punctate. Femora unidentate, and with indications of a 
minute additional tooth. Tibi almost straight, subangulate at the base externally. 
Length 32-4, breadth 2-2,1, millim. (¢ @.) 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
Seven specimens. In this insect the vestiture of the upper surface is close and 
blackish, and the elytra have each a short oblique ochreous streak on the disc, the 
upper surface being also set with short, erect, black scales. The prothorax is subconical 
in shape, and has a conspicuous cluster of erect black scales on the middle of the disc. 
Its subrhomboidal form, smaller size, &c. separate #. melanotus from the N.-American 
EF. parochus. 
75. Hubulus moerens, sp. n. 
Very like Z. melanotus, but with the blackish vestiture of the upper surface much intermixed with fulvous or 
brown; the elytra in one specimen variegated with rufo-piceous, the oblique ochreous streak on the disc 
wanting, the flanks of the prothorax and a spot beneath the shoulder whitish or ochreous, the erect scales 
on the alternate interstices coarse, and those on the prothorax clustered into a small fascicle at the middle ; 
the legs rather stout, the femora feebly unidentate, the tibiz subangulate at the base externally. 
Length 32, breadth 1,9, millim. (d*) 
Hab. Guaremata, Pantaleon (Champion); Panama, Caldera in Chiriqui (Champion). 
Two specimens, the one from Panama in very clean condition. The mottled vestiture 
of the entire upper surface and the more feebly dentate femora sufficiently distinguish 
E. merens from £. seminiger. 
76. Hubulus bisignatus.

* ©. luctuosus, Boh., of which there is a specimen labelled ‘‘ Mex.” (a locality requiring confirmation) in 
Dr. Sharp’s collection, seems to be synonymous with C. parochus, Say, and not with C. bisignatus, as quoted 
by Leconte. C. misellus, Boh., from Brazil, may be a different species..
