LECHRIOPS. 99 
Jalapa ({ége); GUATEMALA, Chacoj, Panima, Cubilguitz, and San Gerénimo in Vera Paz 
(Champion); Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
Not rare in Mexico and distributed in various collections. The opaque upper 
surface, the fine vestiture, which is condensed into spots on the head and prothorax, 
the latter having also a more or less distinct cruciform patch on the disc, and the 
variegate elytra, sufficiently distinguish LZ. maculiceps. Dr. Heller has sent me a 
specimen of it under the name “ Copturosomus sp.” ‘There is a very similar unnamed 
form from Rio Janeiro in the Fry collection. 
16. Lechriops coarctatus, sp.n. (Tab. VI. fig. 25.) 
Subovate, rather broad, dull, nigro-piceous or black, the rostrum sometimes rufescent, the antenne, the apical 
margin of the elytra, and the tips of the tarsi ferruginous; the vestiture rather coarse and close: the 
head and prothorax mottled or variegated with ochreous or fulvous, sometimes with a few white scales 
intermixed (the head usually with two spots behind each eye, and the prothorax with various small 
spaces on the disc, bare); the elytra mottled with fulvous (or ochreous), white, and black, the white 
scales clustered into a few very small scattered spots, the one at the middle of the suture the most 
conspicuous, and the black ones into a small transverse patch on the suture below the base; the 
vestiture of the under surface coarser and paler, that of the legs somewhat variegate, the posterior 
femora with a narrow dark patch towards the apex. yes large, narrowly separated. Rostrum 
carinate and rugulosely punctate to about the middle, and finely punctate thence to the apex, the apical 
half a little smoother in the 9. Joint 2 of the funiculus much longer than 1. Prothorax broad, trans- 
verse, abruptly constricted and narrowed in front; densely punctate and feebly carinate. Llytra broad, 
somewhat rounded at the tip, the sutural region slightly depressed anteriorly ; punctate-striate, the 
interstices broad, rugose, and feebly convex. Rostral canal deep, reaching as far as the posterior margin 
of the middle coxze, the walls complete. First ventral segment broadly and shallowly depressed down the 
middle in the ¢. Femora sharply dentate. 
Length 34-4, breadth 2-24 millim. (¢ @.) 
Hab. Mexico (Mus. Dresden), Presidio de Mazatlan (Worrer), Toxpam (Sal/é), 
Oaxaca (Hoge); Guatemala, Zapote (Champion); Nicaragua, Chontales (Janson). 
Thirteen specimens. A rather broad, robust form, with the prothorax strongly 
constricted in front, the vestiture somewhat close and mottled, especially on the elytra, 
the latter with at most a small white spot at the middle of the suture, the surface dull. 
Dr. Heller has communicated examples of it under the name of * Copturosomus sp.” 
17. Lechriops vestitus. (Tab. VI. fig. 26.) 
Copturus vestitus, Boh. in Schénh. Gen. Cure. iv. p. 645 °. 
Lechriops vestitus, Heller, Abhandl. Mus. Dresd. no. 11, pp. 14, 15°.

Feliz (Champion).—Co.omB1a, Carthagena!. ‘ 
Distinguishable by the rather long, coarse, intermixed fulvous, black, and white 
vestiture of the upper surface. The white spot at the middle of the suture is some-
