ULOSOMUS. 711 
§ 2. Femora unarmed. 
2. Ulosomus spinulosus, sp.n. (Tab. XXXV. fige. 9, 9a, 3.) 
Oblong-ovate, nigro-piceous ; variegated above with a dense clothing of rather coarse, cinereous (or sordid 
ochreous) and blackish spots, the pallid scales on the elytra condensed into an oblique or subquadrate 
spot on the disc before the middle, an irregular, interrupted subapical fascia, and various scattered 
patches; the upper surface also thickly set with coarse, erect, blackish and pallid sete ; the legs annulate 
and shortly setose. Head densely punctate, the eyes widely separated ; rostrum very short, broad, almost 
straight, rugulosely punctate to the tip. Prothorax a little broader than long, constricted and narrowed 
in front; densely punctate. Scutellum rounded. Elytra slightly wider than the prothorax, punctate- 
striate, the interstices rather convex. Beneath densely punctate. Legs short and stout; femora 
unarmed. 
Length 23-3,1,, breadth 13-14 millim. (2.)- 
Hab, Guatemaa, Chacoj in the Polochic Valley (Champion). 
Two specimens, differing in the markings of the elytra, though the pallid patch on 
the anterior part of the disc is conspicuous in both of them. JU. erinaceus, Boh., from 
St. Bartholomew I., the type of which I have seen, differs from the present species in 
having less oblong, gibbous elytra. 
3. Ulosomus hispidus, sp.n. (Tab. XXXV. figg. 10, 10a, 9.) 
Oblong-ovate, rather narrow, shining, piceous, the elytra mottled with rufo-piceous; variegated above with 
a somewhat dense clothing of pale brown, cinereous, and blackish scales, the prothorax with two bare 
patches at the base; the upper surface also thickly set with long, erect, pallid and blackish sete, the 
latter clustered into two fascicles on the disc of the prothorax and two or three fascicles on the second 
elytral interstice ; the legs fusco-annulate and strongly setose. Head densely punctate, the eyes distant ; 
rostrum very short, broad, almost straight, rugosely punctate, more sparsely punctate at the tip in the 9°. 
Prothorax transverse, constricted and narrowed in front; densely punctate. Scutellum small. Elytra 
considerably wider than the prothorax, subparallel in their basal half; deeply punctate-striate, the 
interstices feebly convex. Beneath closely punctate. Legs short ; femora unarmed. 
Length 3-31, breadth 11-12 millim. (¢ 2.) 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
One pair. This insect has much longer sete than U. spinulosus, and the sete are 
arranged in fascicles on the disc of the prothorax and on the second elytral interstice ; 
the prothorax, too, is narrower, the legs longer and not so stout, &c. 
4. Ulosomus hirsutulus, sp. n. 
Smaller than U. hispidus, rufo-piceous, the legs nigro-annulate; the squamosity pale brown, mottled with 
fuscous, the prothorax with two curved darker patches on the posterior lobe; the blackish and pallid 
sete shorter and stouter, the blackish sete clustered into a single, small fascicle at the middle of the 
second elytral interstice ; the legs a little shorter, the femora unarmed ; the rostrum feebly curved. 
Length 22, breadth 1 millim. (3?) 
Hab. Mexico, Motzorongo in Vera Cruz (flohr). 
One specimen. This species has the sete as coarse as in U. spinulosus, from which 
it differs in the reiatively narrower prothorax, the less thickened legs, &c.
