28 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
transverse, black fascia on the disc of the prothorax at the base, the dense pure white 
vestiture of the greater part of the under surface, the tridentate posterior femora, 
and the long third joint to the funiculus, readily distinguish Z. ame@nula. Some 
of the South-American examples have the black fascia on the prothorax divided 
down the middle, the basal spots on the elytra white and the others angulate, &c. 
10. Zygops disjecta, sp. n. (Tab. II. fig. 20.) 
Oblong-ovate, nigro-piceous or black, variegated above and beneath with small scattered white scales, 
which become more crowded along the middle of the body beneath, the rest of the vestiture uniformly 
fuscous. Eyes very large, almost contiguous in front; rostrum arcuate, rather elongate, rugosely 
punctate and shallowly quadrisulcate at the base, and smooth thence to the tip; antenne with joint 2 of 
the funiculus very elongate, nearly twice the length of 3, the latter rather longer than 4~7 united, the 
club oblong-ovate. Prothorax transverse, narrowed in front, feebly bisinuate at the base; densely, finely 
punctate. Elytra considerably wider than the prothorax, comparatively short, broadly truncate at the 
apex; finely punctate-striate, the interstices flat, densely punctulate, 1 obsoletely granulate. Legs 
rather short and stout; posterior femora tri-, the others bi-, dentate, the outer teeth on the posterior pair 
very short. 
Length 61-71, breadth 3-3} millim. (2?) 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion).—Braziu, Espirito Santo (coll. Fry). 
Three specimens, the one from Chiriqui with the vestiture slightly abraded on the 
prothorax and legs. The long third joint of the funiculus, the oblong-ovate antennal 
club, the comparatively short, broad, truncated elytra, and the scattered white scales, 
separate Z. disjecta from its allies. The outer teeth of the posterior femora are 
shorter than in Z. tridentata and Z. sellata. 
11. Gygops sellata, sp.n. (Tab. II. figg. 21, 21a, 2.) 
Zygops sellatus, De}. in litt. 
Oblong-ovate, rather broad, nigro-piceous, the antenne obscure ferruginous; variegated above with small 
fulvous (or pale ochreous) and blackish scales, the fulvous scales on the prothorax mostly clustered along 
the sides, in front of the scutellum, and down the centre, the blackish scales on the elytra more or less 
condensed into a common transverse patch before the middle; the under surface and legs with intermixed 
fulvous, cinereous, and brown scales, becoming paler down the centre, the posterior femora fusco-annulate 
at about the middle. Eyes very large, almost contiguous in front; rostrum moderately long, arcuate, 
rugosely punctate and feebly tricarinate at the base ; joint 2 of the funiculus nearly twice the length of 3, 
3 as long as 4-7 united. Prothorax transverse, narrowed in front, feebly bisinuate at the base, the sides 
parallel behind ; densely punctate. Elytra considerably wider than the prothorax, rather short, sub- 
truncate at the apex ; finely punctate-striate, the interstices flat, densely punctulate, 1 finely granulate 
throughout, and 3 with a few minute scattered granules. Legs rather short and stout ; posterior femora 
tri- or quadri-, the others bi-, dentate. 
Length 43-63, breadth 2-34, millim. ( 9.) 
Hab. Guatemata, Senahu (Champion); Nicaracua, Chontales (Belt); Panawa, 
Bugaba (Champion).—Sovuta Amurica, Cayenne, Brazil. 
Four specimens. Very like Z. tridentata, but with a relatively longer third joint 
to the funiculus (fig. 21 @), and the fulvous or ochreous scales on the prothorax mostly 
condensed along the sides and down the middle, the elytra sometimes with a large,
