TYRANNION. 099 
13. Tyrannion funestus, sp. n. 
Subovate, rather broad, robust, black, the antenne and the tips of the tarsi obscure ferruginous ; above 
thickly, beneath very sparsely, clothed with brown scales, the elytra much mottled with black; the 
upper surface also somewhat closely set with short, coarse, suberect, blackish and pallid setiform scales, 
the legs setulose. Head rugosely punctate, the eyes distant; rostrum strongly curved, reaching to the 
middle of the intermediate coxe, coarsely, rugosely punctate and shallowly sulcate in its basal half, and 
minutely punctate thence to the tip, the antennz inserted at the middle. Prothorax transverse, rounded 
at the sides anteriorly, feebly constricted and much narrowed in front; densely punctate. Scutellum 
convex, small, Elytra much wider than the prothorax, narrowing from about the basal third ; seriate- 
punctate, striate towards the apex, the interstices feebly convex, rugulose, and sparsely granulate, 
-3 slightly swollen at the base. Beneath sparsely, coarsely punctate. Mesosternum U-shaped. Legs 
short; femora feebly clavate, unidentate; intermediate tibicee curved externally. 
Length 61, breadth 3,1, millim. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
One specimen. This insect resembles 7. ochreopunctatus, but the vestiture of the 
upper surface is differently coloured, the elytra are variegated with brown and black, 
the small ochreous spots are wanting on both the prothorax and elytra, and the 
granulation of the latter is more distinct. 
14. Tyrannion imbellis, sp. n. 
Ovate, nigro-piceous or black, clothed with intermixed brownish, ochreous, and black scales, which are more 
or less raised on the prothorax, the vestiture mottled on the elytra, the latter also with numerous, 
semierect, coarse, black and ochreous, setiform scales, the black ones condensed into a small cluster at 
the base of the third interstice. Head rugulosely punctate, flattened above the eyes, the latter well- 
separated ; rostrum strongly curved, reaching the front of the metasternum, widened, rugosely punctate, 
and carinate to some distance from the base, and then becoming narrower and almost smooth, the 
antenne inserted at about the middle. Prothorax transverse, rounded at the sides, constricted and much 
narrowed in front; densely punctate. Elytra much wider than the prothorax, narrowing from a little 
below the base, the humeri somewhat prominent; seriate-punctate, the interstices punctulate and faintly 
granulate, 3 slightly swollen below the base, 9 costate. Beneath coarsely punctate ; terminal dorsal 
segment of the abdomen truncate at the apex inthe 9. Mesosternal cavity long, the walls hollowed. 
Femora feebly clavate, strongly unidentate. 
Length 44-5, breadth 23-3 millim. (¢ 9.) 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
Three specimens. The chief characters of this species are the basally dilated 
rostrum and the somewhat hollowed submarginal interstice of the elytra, the ninth 
interstice costate from the base. The elytral vestiture is mottled, but not clustered 
into definite spots, though there is a small fascicle of dark setiform scales near the 
base of the third interstice. 
| 15. Tyrannion admixtus, sp. n. 
Subovate, nigro-piceous or piceous, the antenne and the tips of the tarsi ferruginous ; somewhat thickly 
clothed with intermixed ochreous and black scales and also set with similarly-coloured, suberect, setiform 
scales, the black sete sometimes condensed into a small fascicle near the base of the third elytral inter- 
stice ; the vestiture of the legs and under surface paler. Head rugulosely punctate, the eyes distant ; 
rostrum strongly curved, subcylindrical, slightly widened towards the base, reaching the front of the 
metasternum in the 9, a little shorter in the d, rugosely punctate and feebly carinate at the base and
