94 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
Three specimens from Bugaba and one from Colombia. ‘This insect is the southern 
representative of the Guatemalan ZL. albisquamis, and requires a separate name. 
L. canescens is also very like L. (Copturus) senex, Pasc., from Parana, but is smaller 
and less robust, the prothorax is shorter, and the vestiture is not so coarse, the white 
scales forming definite markings on the elytra. 
5. Lechriops squamirostris, sp.n. (Tab. VI. figg. 17, 17 a.) 
Ovate, opaque, black, the antenns, tarsi, and apical margin of the elytra ferruginous ; somewhat thickly 
clothed with narrow white scales, which are subseriately arranged on the elytra, their eighth interstice 
with a small white spot beyond the middle, the prothorax with a few darker scales intermixed ; the 
rostrum densely albo-squamose to near the tip; the under surface thickly clothed with coarse white 
scales, the vestiture of the legs also white. Head rather small; eyes subcontiguous, moderately large ; 
rostrum rugulose and sharply carinate to near the tip; joint 2 of the funiculus as long as 3-5 united, 
5-7 transverse. Prothorax short, rounded at the sides, narrowed and feebly constricted in front; closely 
punctate and feebly carinate. Scutellum small. Elytra subcordate ; punctate-striate, the interstices 
rugulose and a little wider than the strie. Meso- and metasternal depression shallow, the latter limited 
posteriorly by a v-shaped ridge. 
Length 3, breadth 15 millim. (¢.) 
Hab. British Honpuras, Rio Hondo (Blancaneauz). 
One specimen. In this species the rostrum is sharply carinate and densely 
squamose to near the tip; the vestiture of the upper surface is white and almost 
equally distributed; and the second joint of the funiculus is very much longer than 
the first. : 
6. Lechriops exsculptus, sp. n. 
Subrhomboidal, shining, nigro-piceous, the antenna, tibie, tarsi, and apical margin of the elytra ferruginous ; 
the vestiture very sparse, fine: the head with a line around the eyes, and the prothorax with three 
narrow vitte on the dise and one on each flank, ochreous; the elytra with a short narrow streak at the 
middle of the suture, and a spot in a line with it on the eighth interstice, white, the rest of their surface 
with scattered ochreous and white hair-like scales ; the under surface and legs white, the posterior femora 
with an almost bare space beyond the middle. Head with a fine carina on the vertex; eyes large, 
somewhat flattened in front, subcontiguous ; rostrum rugulose and subcarinate at the base ; joint 2 of 
the funiculus elongate, nearly as long as 3-5 united; antennal club stout, ovate. Prothorax short, 
conical; densely punctate, the punctures transversely confluent on the disc, the latter sharply arcuato- 
carinate. Scutellum smooth. Elytra broad, rounded-triangular, depressed along the suture, the humeri 
smooth and prominent; sharply, deeply striate, the striz finely punctate, the dorsal interstices narrow, 
subcarinate on each side, and with fine scattered punctures, the outer interstices broad, smooth, 
and almost bare. MRostral canal deep, extending as far as the apical margin of the middle coxe, 
the walls complete. Legs rather slender; femora sharply unidentate, the intermediate and posterior 
knees acute. 
Length 23, breadth 13 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
One specimen. A _ small species, with sharply carinate, short prothorax and 
subtriangular elytra, the latter with deeply-cut strie and almost smooth outer 
interstices.
