30 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
the interstices flat, densely punctulate, 1 faintly granulate. Ventral segment 1 depressed down the 
middle in the d. Legs rather short; femora bidentate. 
Length 34-52, breadth 14-23 millim. (¢ @.) 
Hab. Mexico (Mus. Holm.; Mus. Brit. ; Mus. Dresden), Toxpam in Vera Cruz (Sal/é) ; 
Nicaragua, Chontales (Belt); Panama, Bugaba (Champion).—Soutuy America, Cayenne}, 
Brazil. 
Thirteen specimens, agreeing with the type (2) communicated by M. Severin. 
The long third joint of the funiculus, the trivittate prothorax, the mottled elytra, the 
narrow scales of the under surface, which is spotted with brown along the sides, and 
the almost equally bidentate femora, characterize Z. maculipes. The blackish-brown 
annulus on the posterior femora is placed near the middle, instead of at the apex as in 
Z. trivittata, Z. sobrina, and others. Z. cinctipes, Germ., is an allied form. 
14. Zygops cataleuca, sp. n. (Tab. II. figg. 24, 9; 24a, hind leg.) 
Zygops cataleuca, Chevy. in litt. 
Oblong, black or piceous, the antenne obscure ferruginous ; thickly clothed with rather coarse scales: the 
upper surface mottled with fulvous (or brownish), white, and black, the fulvous scales clustered into 
spots along the sides and middle of the prothorax and into various patches on the elytra, the white scales 
sprinkled over the disc of the prothorax and condensed into small patches on the elytra; the under 
surface and legs (a blackish patch on the metathoracic episterna and another at the apex of the posterior 
femora excepted) white. Eyes very large, almost contiguous in front; rostrum moderately long, arcuate, 
rugulose and feebly carinate at the base; joint 2 of the funiculus nearly as long as 3-7 united, 3 about 
twice as long as 4. Prothorax transverse, narrowed in front, feebly bisinuate at the base; densely, 
minutely punctate. Elytra obleng, very little wider than the prothorax, obtuse at the apex; finely 
punctate-striate, the interstices flat, densely punctulate, 1 finely granulate. Ventral segment 1 broadly 
and shallowly depressed down the middle in the g. Legs rather short; anterior and intermediate 
femora unidentate, the posterior femora bidentate, the inner tooth long, the outer one small, narrow, 
and sometimes almost obsolete. 
Length 47-64, breadth 13-24 millim. (¢ 9.) 
Hab. Mexico (Mus. Holm. ; Mus. Brit.), Toxpam, Juquila (Sallé); Nicaragua, 
Chontales (Janson). 
Nine specimens, all but one from Mexico. Separable from Z. trivittata and 
Z. sobrina by the less flattened elytra, the much coarser vestiture, and the blackish 
patch on the metathoracic episterna. The small outer tooth on the posterior femora 
is sometimes wanting. ‘The examples in the Sallé collection are labelled Z. cataleuca, 
Chevr. 
15. Zygops trivittata, sp.n. (Tab. II. figg. 25, ¢; 25, hind leg.) 
Oblong, piceous, the antenne ferruginous; thickly clothed with small scales: the upper surface fuscous, 
mottled with cinereous, the cinereous scales on the prothorax condensed into three interrupted vitte and 
those on the elytra into numerous short longitudinal streaks, which are here and there transversely 
coalescent, the under surface and legs almost entirely whitish, the posterior femora only with a large 
blackish patch at the apex. Eyes very large, almost contiguous in front; rostrum strongly arcuate, not 
extending beyond the intermediate coxa, unicarinate and rugulose at the base ; joint 2 of the funiculus 
nearly as long as 8-7 united, 3 about twice as long as 4. Prothorax trausverse, subquadrate, narrowed
