582 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
Hab. Norra America! 245, Middle, Southern, and Western States to Texas °.— 
Mexico, Jalapa (Hoge) ; Guaremana, Chacoj in Vera Paz (Champion). 
Two specimens, agreeing perfectly with one from Massachusetts sent me by 
Mr. Wickham. This is one of various extremely closely-allied forms, and mainly 
distinguishable by the very short erect scales on the prothorax and elytra, each 
elytron with an oblique whitish fascia before the middle, the tibie almost straight, 
and angulate externally at the base, the femora feebly dentate. 
77. Eubulus densus, sp. n. (Tab. XXVIII. figg. 25, 254, ¢ .) 
Subrhomboidal, piceous, the antenne and the tips of the tarsi ferruginous; densely clothed with intermixed 
whitish and flavo-cinereous scales, the prothorax with a few very short, semierect, scattered setz, the 
legs subannulate. Head rugulosely punctate, the eyes large and well-separated ; rostrum curved, reaching 
the metasternum, widened towards the base, rugulosely punctate and tricarinate, the apical half finely 
punctate, smoother in the 2, the antenne inserted at a little behind the middle, joints 2-7 of the funiculus 
slender, 2 much shorter than 1, the club stout, oblong-ovate. Prothorax short, subconical, feebly constricted 
in front; densely punctate and arcuato-carinate. Elytra much wider than the prothorax, subtriangular, 
parallel at the base ; punctate-striate, the interstices densely punctulate, 3, 5, 7, and 9 sharply costate. 
Beneath opaque, closely punctate. Mesosternum horseshoe-shaped. Legs rather short; femora sub- 
clavate, unidentate ; tibiee angulate at the base externally. 
Var, The vestiture fulvous, maculated with white and black, the short seta on the prothorax more conspicuous. 
Length 3,1,-34, breadth 13-2 millim. (3d @.) 
Hab. Mzxico, Toxpam, Cordova (Sallé). 
Eight specimens, six of them with the vestiture whitish, the other two darker and 
more mottled. 
EUBULOPSIS, gen. nov. 
Rostral canal impinging on the front of the metasternum in the ?, reaching to the middle of the intermediate 
coxe in the d; eyes rounded above, large, rather narrowly separated; prothorax short, conical, with 
feebly-developed ocular lobes; elytra triangular, much wider than the prothorax, with the alternate 
interstices costate ; metasternum short, the episterna broad; ventral segments 2-4 subequal in length ; 
femora without trace of tooth; tibis subangulate at the base externally, almost straight within. 
The single species referred to this genus is very like many of the small forms here 
placed in the second Section of Eubulus, but as the femora are completely unarmed it 
is best separated. 
1. Eubulopsis edentatus, sp. n. (Tab. XXVIII. figg. 26, 264, o; 27, meso- 
sternum, ¢ .) 
Rhomboidal, shining, rufo-piceous, the elytra usually with the apical half and a space at or below the base 
blackish, the femora also sometimes infuscate at the middle, the antennez ferruginous ; sparsely clothed 
with minute fulvous or brown scales, the flanks of the prothorax and the base of the rostrum whitish in 
the g, the elytra with a more or less distinct, common, narrow, curved, whitish or fulvous fascia below the 
base, extending forwards to the humeri, and sometimes some small scattered fulvous spots below it, their 
surface also sparsely set with short, fine, suberect sete, the femora subannulate with whitish. Head 
rugulosely punctate, the eyes rather narrowly separated ; rostrum moderately stout, curved, bare and 
impinging on the metasternum in the 2 , squamose and a little shorter in the ¢, rugosely punctate, the 
apical half smoother in the 2, the antenne inserted near the apex in the ¢ and at the middle in the 9, 
joint 2 of the funiculus much shorter than 1, the club oblong-ovate, acuminate. Prothorax short, conical ; 
densely punctate and carinate. Scutellum small, oval. Elytra short, much wider than the prothorax,
