LECHRIOPS. 95 
7. Lechriops amplipennis, sp. n. (Tab. VI. fig. 18.) 
Subrhomboidal, shining, black, the antenns, tarsi, and apical margin of the elytra ferruginous ; sparsely 
clothed with very small, narrow, blackish and white scales, the latter condensed on the prothorax into a 
faint, interrupted median line and a spot near each angle, the white scales on the elytra entirely 
clustered into a few small spots and narrow streaks (one at the middle of the suture and another at its 
apex, a streak on the interstices 3 and 5, and a spot on 7 and 8); the vestiture of the under surface 
sparse, piliform, white, that of the legs also white, the posterior femora with a black patch beyond the 
middle. Head rather small; eyes almost contiguous, strongly acuminate below ; rostrum rugulose and 
finely carinate at the base, the basal portion very little widened ; joint 2 of the funiculus slightly longer 
than 1. Prothorax short, subconical; closely, finely punctate, and subcarinate. Elytra very much 
wider than the prothorax, subcordate, blunt at the apex, rather convex, the sutural region depressed 
anteriorly ; deeply punctate-striate, the interstices wider than the striw, punctulate, the outer ones 
rather convex. Rostral canal deep, extending a little beyond the mesosternum. First ventral segment 
shallowly sulcate down the middle. Legs short. 
Length 22, breadth 13 millim. (¢?) 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
One specimen. A peculiar little species, with a short, subconical, comparatively 
narrow prothorax, and broad, rather convex, subcordate elytra, the white scales on the 
shining upper surface wholly clustered into a few small scattered spots and narrow 
streaks, the rostrum very little widened at the base. It has the same general shape 
as L. exsculptus. 
8. Lechriops alboguttatus, sp. n. (Tab. VI. fig. 19.) 
Subovate, robust, shining, black, the antenne, the apical margin of the elytra, and the tarsi in part, 
ferruginous ; variegated with fine blackish and coarser white scales, the white scales on the prothorax 
condensed into eight spots (the one on each side at the base large, rounded or subquadrate, and the one 
on the anterior part of the flanks not visible from above), and those on the elytra into a transverse spot 
at about the middle of the suture, an oblong streak at its apex, and various scattered spots or more or 
less interrupted undulate fascie (the fascia extending from the base of the suture to below the humeri 
sometimes complete) ; the under surface (a transverse almost bare space on each side of the abdomen 
excepted) and legs also clothed with white scales, the posterior femora with a blackish annulus towards 
the apex. yes narrowly separated. Rostrum rugulose and carinate at the base. Joint 2 of the 
funiculus considerably longer than 1. Prothorax transverse, narrowing almost from the base, constricted 
in front; densely, rather finely punctate, and feebly carinate. Elytra somewhat rounded at the sides, 
blunt at the apex, depressed along the suture anteriorly ; deeply punctate-striate, the interstices rather 
broad, flat, and rugulose. Rostral canal deep, extending to the front of the metasternum. Femora 
sharply dentate. 
Var.? Smaller, the prothorax with a narrower, oblong, whitish patch on each side at the base. 
Length 33-4, breadth 2-21 millim. 
Hab. Guatemana, Sinanja and Purula in Alta Vera Paz (Champion). 
Many specimens, all but one from Sinanja. The small form (length 21-3 mm.) 
is represented by two specimens from Purula. Recognizable by the numerous 
well-defined white spots on both the prothorax and elytra, and by the rather finely 
punctured prothorax. 'The white scales are rather coarse.
