PHACE. 615 
§ 1. Femora unidentate. 
1. Phace pilimanus, sp.n. (Tab. XXX. figg. 13, 13a, ¢.) 
Subovate, rather broad, shining, black, the antenne and tarsi more or less ferruginous ; thickly clothed with 
small brown scales intermixed with very short, widely scattered, semierect, setiform, ochreous or whitish 
scales, the vestiture of the scutellum ochreous, and sometimes that of the head similarly coloured. Head 
densely punctate, flattened between the widely separated eyes; rostrum (3) strongly arcuate, stout, 
widened towards the base, about as long as the prothorax, rugosely punctate, ( 2) sparsely punctate in its 
outer half and longer, the antenne inserted at the middle, joints 1 and 2 of the funiculus elongate, 
equal in length. Prothorax much broader than long, transversely convex, rounded at the sides, narrowed 
and feebly constricted in front, subtruncate at the base; densely, finely punctate. Scutellum very 
small. Elytra oval, transversely convex, not or very little wider than the prothorax, and at the base 
of the same width, constricted in front, the humeri subrectangular; rather coarsely seriate-punctate, 
the interstices almost flat, feebly convex at the sides and apex, sparsely, finely, seriato-granulate. 
Beneath closely, finely punctate. Mesosternum shallowly emarginate in the ¢, arcuate-emarginate in 
the 2. Legs elongate; anterior femora sharply, the others more feebly, unidentate; tarsi long and 
slender, the anterior pair of the ¢ clothed with long, fine, projecting hairs. 
Length 43-53, breadth 22-3 millim. (¢ @.) 
Hab. Guatemaa, Cerro Zunil and Las Mercedes, Pacific slope (Champion). 
Found in abundance at Cerro Zunil. The long hairs on the front tarsi of the 
male of this species separate P. pilimanus from most of its allies. It is otherwise 
recognizable by the basally constricted elytra (the anterior margin appearing a little 
raised) and the finely seriato-granulate interstices. 
2. Phace egena, sp.n. (Tab. XXX. fig. 14.) 
Smaller and less convex than P. pilimanus; the second joint of the funiculus shorter; the elytra punctate- 
striate, usually each with a small spot or transverse patch of whitish scales on the dise at the 
commencement of the apical declivity ; the under surface closely punctate, the legs less elongate, the 
first joint of the tarsi shorter, the anterior pair without longer projecting hairs in the d. 
Length 4-5, breadth 2-23 millim. (¢ 9.) 
Hab. Gvuatemata, Capetillo, Pacific slope (Champion). 
Fourteen specimens. The elytra in this insect are more or less constricted at the 
base, and there not wider than the base of the prothorax, with the humeri subrect- 
angular, these characters separating P. egena from several other nearly allied forms. 
3. Phace scutellaris, sp. n. (Tab. XXX. figg. 15, 15a, ¢.) 
Oblong-ovate, shining, black, the antennz and the tips of the tarsi obscure ferruginous ; thickly clothed with. 
brown scales, with blackish, ochreous, or whitish scales intermixed, the elytra usually having traces of 
an interrupted ochreous or whitish fascia about the middle, the scutellum similarly coloured ; the surface 
also set with short, scattered, semierect, ochreous and blackish, setiform scales. Head densely punctate, 
flattened between the eyes, which are widely separated; rostrum in the ¢ rugulosely punctate to the 
tip, in the Q much smoother in its apical half, the antenne inserted at ( ¢) or a little behind (2) the 
middle, joints 1 and 2 of the funiculus subequal in length. Prothorax transverse, constricted and much 
narrowed in front, rounded at the sides, more sharply so in the ¢, feebly bisinuate at the base; densely 
punctate. Scutellum small, rounded. LElytra at the base a little wider than the base of the prothorax, 
subparallel in front, the humeri obtuse ; rather coarsely punctate-striate, the interstices feebly convex
