108 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
small similarly-coloured spots on the elytra (one at the middle of the suture, another 
at its apex, and one on the eighth interstice of each elytron), the rest of the vestiture 
of the latter dark and fine. The elytral interstices are wider than the strie and very 
rugose. 
85. Lechriops alboterminatus, sp.n. (Tab. VII. fig. 4.) 
Subrhomboidal, short, black, the antenne, apices of the tibie, tarsi, and apical margin of the elytra ferruginous, 
the disc of the prothorax and the base of the elytra piceous ; the head between and behind the eyes, the 
prothorax with a broad space along the sides, extending on to the humeri and mesothoracie epimera, the 
elytra with a minute or small spot at the middle of the suture, another on the eighth interstice, and the 
apex, the middle femora at the tip, the posterior femora (a black band near the apex excepted), the 
metasternum, and abdomen, thickly clothed with rather coarse white or brownish-white scales, the disc of 
the prothorax and the scutellar region with fine ochreous hair-like scales, the rest of the vestiture very 
fine and sparse, blackish on the elytra, with a few scattered white scales intermixed. Eyes large, sub- 
contiguous. Rostrum rugulose and feebly carinate at the base. Joint 2 of the funiculus slightly longer 
than 1. Prothorax short, conical ; densely punctate and subcarinate. LElytra short, broad, subcordate, 
blunt at the tip, depressed along the suture anteriorly, with a small smooth humeral callus; deeply 
punctate-striate, the interstices about as wide as the striw, rugulose, and with a faint raised line on each 
side. Rostral canal deep, reaching the anterior portion of the metasternum, the walls complete. 
Length 24, breadth 12 millim. 
Hab. GuatemMata, Senahu in Vera Paz (Champion); Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 
(Champion). 
One specimen from each locality. The Guatemalan example (fig. 4), which has 
the white stripe at the sides of the prothorax bordered within by a sinuous dark line, 
is taken as the type. This species is an ally of L. auritus, differing from it in having 
the apex of the elytra clothed with white scales, the strie broader and deeper, the 
interstices subcostate on each side, &c. 
36. Lechriops porcatus, sp.n. (Tab. VII. fig. 5.) 
Ovate, rather convex, shining, black, the tarsi and the apical margin of the elytra ferruginous ; the prothorax 
with a median vitta, two submarginal spots, and a line along the flanks, the elytra with a spot at the 
middle of the suture, an oblong mark at its apex, a spot at the sides beyond the middle, and some short 
streaks at the base, clothed with coarse white scales, the rest of the upper surface with fine scattered 
blackish scales ; the under surface and legs coarsely albo-squamose, the posterior femora with an oblique 
blackish band towards the apex. Eyes subcontiguous. Rostrum rugosely punctate at the base. 
Funiculus widening outwards, the outer joints strongly transverse, 2 a little shorter than 1. Prothorax 
transverse, somewhat rounded at the sides, narrowed in front; densely punctate and feebly carinate. 
Elytra conjointly rounded at the tip, punctato-sulcate, the interstices not wider than the stric, shallowly 
uniseriate-punctate, and with a very fine raised line on each side. Rostral canal deep, extending into 
the front of the metasternum. Femora dentate, the posterior pair finely earinate externally. 
Length 24, breadth 14 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
Two specimens. A rather convex, narrow form, with punctato-sulcate elytra, the 
interstices of which are not wider than the strie, the prothorax and elytra with sharply- 
defined white spots, the second joint of the funiculus shorter than the first.
