PHACE. 617 
6. Phace duplex, sp. n. 
Oblong-ovate, shining, black, the antenne and tarsi obscure ferruginous ; thickly clothed with brown scales 
intermixed with scattered, semierect, setiform, paler scales. Head densely punctate, the eyes widely 
separated ; rostrum in the ¢ rugulosely punctate to the tip, in the Q sparsely, finely punctate, and bare, 
from near the base, the antennz inserted at the middle in the d, and a little further back in the @, 
joint 2 of the funiculus shorter than 1. Prothorax transverse, abruptly narrowed and constricted in 
front, rounded at the sides, feebly bisinuate at the base; densely, finely punctate. Scutellum very small. 
Elytra at the base a little wider than the base of the prothorax, widening in their basal half, transversely 
convex towards the middle, the humeri obtuse; coarsely seriate-punctate, the punctures placed in shallow 
strize, the interstices faintly granulate, 3 swollen, raised, and setose from below the base to the commence- 
ment of the apical declivity, 5 also a little raised. Beneath closely, finely punctate. Legs rather slend er 
femora distinctly unidentate. 
Length 4—43, breadth 2-27 millim. (¢ 2.) 
Hab. Guatemaa, Senahu and San Gerénimo in Vera Paz (Champion). 
Two specimens. Very like P. dentipes, but with the elytra transversely convex or 
gibbous towards the middle, and the third interstice here swollen and raised for some 
distance (the elevation longer and placed further from the base than in P. dinodosa) 
the femora more feebly dentate. 
7. Phace carinirostris, sp.n. (Tab. XXX. figg. 17, 174, 2.) 
Subovate, black, the antenne ferruginous; thickly clothed with brownish scales, the elytra with a common, 
interrupted, narrow, submedian, whitish fascia, the femora faintly annulate; the surface also set with 
scattered, short, semierect sete. Head and rostrum densely, rugulosely punctate, the latter rather long 
and tricarinate, much smoother at the tip ; antenne inserted towards the apex of the rostrum, joints 1 and 2 
of the funiculus elongate, equal in length. Prothorax transverse, rounded at the sides, constricted and 
much narrowed in front; densely, somewhat rugulosely punctate. Scutellum not visible. Elytra slightly 
wider at the base than the prothorax, gradually widening to the middle, narrowly produced at the apex ; 
punctate-striate, the interstices seriato-granulate, and a little raised, especially 3 and 5, which are sinuous. 
Beneath very coarsely, closely punctate. Legs rather stout ; femora unidentate. 
Length 53, breadth 22 millim. (<¢.) 
Hab. Nicaracva, Chontales (elt). 
One specimen. This insect has a rather long, tricarinate rostrum, subapically 
inserted antenne, and conspicuously granulate elytra, the scutellum is invisible, and 
the ventral segments are very coarsely punctured. 
8. Phace binodosa, sp. n. (Tab. XXX. figg. 18, 18a, 2.) 
Subovate, black, the antenne, and sometimes the tip of the rostrum also, obscure ferruginous ; thickly clothed 
with brownish or ochreous scales, the basal half of the elytra mottled with blackish, the blackish scales 
condensed at the middle into an angulate, anteriorly evanescent fascia, the apical declivity entirely 
ochreous or brownish (a small black streak on the suture towards the apex excepted); the surface also 
set with short, coarse, semierect, ochreous and blackish sete. Head densely punctate, the eyes widely 
separated ; rostrum of the ¢ rugulosely punctate and carinate, with the apex sparsely punctate, that of 
the @ much smoother and bare from a little below the base, the antenne inserted beyond the middle, 
joints 1 and 2 of the funiculus subequal in length. Prothorax much broader than long, strongly 
constricted and narrowed in front, rounded at the sides, and feebly bisinuate at the base, the posterior 
portion transversely convex ; densely punctate. Scutellum minute. Elytra convex, slightly constricted
