98 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
Hab. Mexico, Teapa (7. H. Smith); Guatemata, Sinanja and Cachil in Vera Paz 
(Champion). 
Five specimens, the description being taken from the three from Sinanja. Shorter 
than LZ. alboguttatus, the white scales narrower and more scattered, and not clustered 
into sharply-defined spots. The vestiture is fine, above and beneath, and almost 
wholly white and black. 
14. Lechriops excavatus, sp. n. (Tab. VI. fig. 23.) | 
Subovate, nigro-piceous or black, rather dull, the antenne, the apical margin of the elytra, the tips of the 
tarsi, and sometimes the tibie also, ferruginous ; the vestiture fine: the head with a fulvous line around 
the eyes ; the prothorax with a space down the middle and some markings towards the sides fulvous, the 
scattered narrow scales sometimes extending over the greater part of the surface; the elytra mottled with 
fulvous, white, and blackish scales, the white scales usually condensed into a short faint streak at the 
middle of the suture, the fulvous scales sometimes extending over the greater part of the surface; 
the vestiture of the under surface and legs fulvous and white intermixed. Head rather small; eyes 
moderately large, narrowly separated ; rostrum rugulosely punctate and carinate at the base, the apical 
half dull and finely punctate in the ¢,, and shining and almost smooth in the ° ; joint 2 of the funiculus 
much longer than 1. Prothorax transverse, narrowing from near the base, constricted in front; densely, 
finely, rugulosely punctate, and also subcarinate. LElytra broad, subcordate, blunt at the tip, somewhat 
inflated, the sutural region strongly depressed anteriorly ; punctate-striate, the interstices broad, densely 
rugulose, and almost flat, Rostral canal very deep, the metasternal excavation triangular. First ventral 
segment shallowly depressed down the middle in the ¢. 
Length 33-33, breadth 1;%-2 millim. (¢ 2.) 
Hab. GuateMaLa, Duefias (Champion). 
Twelve specimens. Recognizable by the dull, slightly inflated, deeply excavate 
elytra, the fine vestiture, which is sometimes in great part fulvous, the dull, punctate 
rostrum of the male, &c. The elytra have, at most, a short faint whitish streak at the 
middle of the suture. 
15, Lechriops maculiceps, sp. n. (Tab. VI. fig. 24.) 
Subovate, opaque above, black or piceous, the antennw, the apex of the rostrum, the tips of the tarsi, and the 
apical margin of the elytra ferruginous ; the vestiture very fine: the head with a fulvous line around 
the eyes, which is divided into spots behind them; the prothorax with a v-shaped patch on the dise 
at the base, a spot in the middle in front (these markings somewhat united into an irregular cruciform 
patch), and two others on each side, fulvous, the intervening spaces sometimes with a few white scales - 
the elytra variegated with small patches of fulvous, white, and blackish scales ; the vestiture of the 
under surface and legs fulvous intermixed with white. Eyes moderately large, narrowly separated 
Rostrum carinate and rugulosely punctate at the base. Joint 2 of the funiculus elongate, nearly as long 
as 3-6 united. Prothorax short, constricted in front, narrowing from near the base ; closely punctate 
except along the slightly raised median line, the narrow interspaces alutaceous. Elytra broad sab 
cordate, blunt at the apex, depressed along the suture anteriorly ; punctate-striate, the interstions 
rugulose, dull, and almost flat. Rostral canal deep, extending to the anterior portion of the metasternum 
Intermediate posterior knees acutely dentate. 
Length 33-34, breadth 13-2), millim.
