times transverse (extending to the second stria), and when this is the case the black 
patch preceding it is divided by the short fulvous stripe extending down the suture 
from the base. The dorsal strie 2-4 are somewhat sinuate. The eyes are a little 
more distant above than they are in front. The second joint of the funiculus is much 
longer than the first. The first ventral segment is shallowly sulcate down the middle 
in the male. 
18. Lechriops centrosignatus, sp. n. 
Subovate, dull, black, the antenne, apical margin of the elytra, knees, tibiz, and tarsi more or less ferruginous ; 
variegated above with a somewhat dense clothing of fulvous, black, and white scales (those on the elytra 
small), the elytra with a large patch at the middle of the suture and a small spot on the eighth interstice 
yellowish-white, the mesothoracic epimera also whitish ; the vestiture of the under surface fulvous and 
white, the posterior femora with a broad blackish patch at the middle. Eyes large, narrowly separated, 
acuminate beneath. Rostrum stout, rugulose and finely carinate in its basal half. Joints 1 and 2 of the 
funiculus equal in length. Prothorax transverse, rounded at the sides anteriorly, abruptly narrowed 
and constricted in front; densely punctate and finely carinate. Elytra subcordate, blunt at the tip ; 
deeply punctate-striate, the interstices rugulose and feebly convex. Rostral canal deep, reaching the 
metasternum. First ventral segment with a smooth shallow median sulcus in the g. Femora rather 
stout, sharply dentate. 
Length 24, breadth 14 millim. (¢ 9.)

One pair. Smaller and narrower than L. vestitus, the elytral vestiture not so coarse, 
the prothorax abruptly constricted in front, the second joint of the funiculus not longer 
than the first, the rostrum shorter and stouter. The large white spot at the middle 
of the suture, much smaller size, narrower form, &c., separate L. centrosignatus 
from L. coarctatus. The eyes are larger, and more acuminate beneath, than in the 
variable L. oculatus.

The type of this species, which is in bad condition, is a little larger and more rugose 
than Z. infimus, and has the pallid scales on the elytra clustered into a small patch at 
the middle of the suture, another on the eighth interstice, and various scattered spots 
or streaks. Various specimens are somewhat doubtfully referred to it, those from the 
Volcan de Chiriqui wanting the sutural spot. J. parilis is a nearly allied form. 
20. Lechriops parilis, sp. n. 
Subovate, dull, black, the antenne, the tip of the rostrum, the apical margin of the elytra, and the tarsi in 
part or wholly, ferruginous; the vestiture rather sparse: the head with a line around the outer part of
