96 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
9. Lechriops rufomaculatus, sp.n. (Tab. VI. fig. 20.) 
Elliptic, rather long, shining, black, the antenne (the club excepted), the apical half of the rostrum, a broad 
space at the base of the elytra (extending outwards to the humeri), their apical margin, and the legs in 
great part, reddish or ferruginous; the vestiture fine, sparse, that on the prothorax white and ochreous 
intermixed, clustered into three faint vitte on the disc and various streaks on the flanks, that on the 
elytra ochreous, white, and black, the white scales clustered into a short streak at the middle of the 
suture, another at its apex, and a small spot on the eighth interstice, the ochreous scales condensed into 
various faint, interrupted, undulate fascie# ; the clothing of the legs and under surface sparse and fine, 
the posterior femora with a dark patch near the apex. Eyes very large, narrowly separated. Rostrum 
rugulosely punctate and carinate to about the middle. Joint 2 of the funiculus distinctly longer than 1; 
Prothorax short, gradually narrowing from the base; densely, finely punctate, except along the slightly 
raised smooth median line. Elytra subcordate, blunt at the apex; deeply punctate-striate, the interstices 
punctulate, the outer ones rather convex. Rostral canal deep, extending as far as the posterior margin 
of the middle coxee. Femora feebly dentate, the posterior pair about reaching the apex of the abdomen. 
Length 23-2,%,, breadth 12-1} millim. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
Two specimens. Recognizable by the broad reddish patch at the base of the elytra, 
the fine vestiture (which is clustered into small spots and interrupted undulate fasciz 
on the elytra), the very large eyes, and the feebly dentate femora. 
10. Lechriops rugicollis, sp. n. 
Subovate, robust, black, the antenna, the tips of the tarsi, and sometimes the apex of the rostrum and the 
apical margin of the elytra also, ferruginous ; the prothorax with scattered, fulvous and white, hair-like 
scales, which are clustered into patches at the sides and along the middle, the elytra variegated with 
small, narrow, intermixed fulvous, white, and black scales; the vestiture of the under surface and legs 
rather sparse, fine, white. Eyes large, very narrowly separated. Rostrum rugulose and sharply carinate 
at the base. Joint 2 of the funiculus elongate, about twice as long as 1. Prothorax transverse, rapidly 
narrowing from near the base, constricted in front; coarsely, rugosely punctate, except along the 
irregular, smooth, slightly raised median line, the punctures on the disc transversely confluent and those 
on the flanks separate one from another. Elytra subcordate, obliquely truncate at the tip, depressed 
along the suture anteriorly ; punctate-striate, the strie narrow, the interstices rugose, broad, and almost 
flat. Rostral canal rather broad and deep, the metasternal excavation triangular. First ventral segment 
slightly depressed down the middle in the ¢. Intermediate and posterior knees dentate. 
Length 4-44, breadth 23-24 millim. 
Hab. Guaremata, Panima in Vera Paz (Champion); Panama, Bugaba, Volcan de 
Chiriqui (Champion). 
Four specimens, the one from the Volcan de Chiriqui having the prothorax a little 
less rugose and the vestiture of the upper surface almost wholly black and white. 
This species is chiefly distinguished by the long second joint to the funiculus, the 
transversely rugose prothorax, and the rather fine vestiture, the elytra without definite 
white spot at the middle of the suture. 
11. Lechriops vicinus, sp. n. 
Elliptic, robust, shining, nigro-piceous, the elytra sometimes rufo-piceous, the antenne, the apical margin of 
the elytra, and the tips of the tarsi ferruginous; the prothorax with scattered, narrow, ochreous scales, 
which are mostly clustered at the sides and down the middle; the elytra sparsely clothed with narrow,
