48 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
1. Lissoderes subnudus, sp. n. (Tab. III. figg. 24, 24 a, 6.) 
Black or piceous, shining ; the prothorax with the base narrowly, the elytra with the anterior margin and an 
elongate streak at the base of the second interstice, the under surface, and legs, sparsely clothed with 
narrow, white, hair-like scales, the vestiture becoming denser on the lower part of the flanks of the 
prothorax and on the mesothoracic epimera. Head minutely punctate; rostrum in one specimen (d ?) 
closely punctate and feebly carinate, in the others (2?) smoother and not carinate. Prothorax about as 
long as broad, slightly narrowing forwards, sparsely, finely punctate, except down the middle, or almost 
smooth. Elytra rounded-subquadrate, depressed along the suture anteriorly, the humeri smooth and 
somewhat swollen ; deeply crenate-striate, the interstices flat, minutely punctate near the suture, the 
outer ones smooth and bare. Beneath finely, sparsely punctate. 
Length 3143, breadth 13-2 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
Three specimens, varying in size, in the length of the legs, and in the sculpture of 
the rostrum and prothorax. The two smoother examples are probably females, and 
the larger onea male. ‘I'he elytra have some very minute scales on the disc, in addition 
to the narrow white scales near the base and suture. 
PARAMNEMYNE. 
Paramnemyne, Heller, Abhandl. Mus. Dresd. no. 11, pp. 3, 10 (1895). 
In this genus, which was based upon three South-American species and includes 
two others from our region, the rostral canal reaches the apex of the metasternum, 
the eyes are well-separated above, the second joint of the funiculus is elongate, the 
base of the prothorax and elytra is deeply sinuate, the prothorax itself is very short 
and furnished with broad ocular lobes, the alternate elytral interstices are sharply 
costate, &c. 
1. Paramnemyne decemcostata, sp. n. (Tab. ITI. figg. 25, 25 a.) 
Rhomboidal, piceous or rufo-piceous, the antenne and tarsi ferruginous ; sparsely clothed with small ochreous 
scales, which are condensed into three narrow vitte on the prothorax and numerous small scattered 
patches on the elytra, the elytra each with a transverse blackish patch on the disc before the 
middle, extending from the first to the fourth stria, the femora fusco-annulate. Head densely punctate, 
hollowed between the eyes. Prothorax about twice as broad as long, narrowing from the base, 
constricted in front; rather coarsely, rugulosely punctate. Elytra subtriangular, convex, transversely 
depressed below the base; deeply punctate-striate, the punctures somewhat distantly placed and 
oblong in shape, 3, 5, 7, 8, and 9 * sharply costate, the ridge on 8 interrupted below the base. Femora 
unidentate. 
Length 4-47, breadth 21-23 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
Fight specimens. Near P. arcana, Heller (=leseleuci, Jekel, in litt.), from Cayenne, 
but smaller, the transverse black patch on the elytra less extended (not forming a 
common arcuate fascia) and placed nearer the base, the vestiture sparser, the legs less 
* Counting from the suture, not from the first stria.
