LECHRIOPS.—EULECHRIOPS. 109 
37. Lechriops durangoanus, sp. n. (Tab. VII. fig. 6.) 
Subovate, shining, nigro-piceous, the rostrum, antenne, tarsi, and apical margin of the elytra ferruginous ; 
variegated with small, narrow, blackish and ochreous scales, the ochreous scales on the prothorax condensed 
into six spots on the disc and some irregular markings on the flanks, and those on the elytra mainly into 
some short streaks at the base, a large spot at the middle of the suture (extending outwards to the second 
stria), a smaller spot on the eighth interstice in a line with it, and a streak along the suture at the tip, 
the basal margin of the prothorax clothed with white scales on each side; the vestiture of the under 
surface and legs rather sparse, in great part white, the meso- and metathoracic side-pieces each with an 
ochreous spot, and the ventral segments 3-5 almost wholly of that colour, the femora each with a dark 
patch. Head rather small; eyes narrowly separated; rostrum short, rugulosely punctate and feebly 
carinate at the base; joint 2 of the funiculus much longer thanl. Prothorax transverse, narrowing 
from the base, constricted in front; densely punctate and subcarinate, Llytra about one-half wider than 
the prothorax, moderately long, somewhat rounded at the sides, obliquely truncate at the tip, depressed 
along the suture anteriorly ; deeply punctate-striate, the interstices rugulose and feebly convex. Meso- 
sternum vertical, excavate. Metasternum simply declivous in front. 
Length 4, breadth 21 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Ciudad in Durango (Hoge). 
One specimen. A species with rather long, broad elytra, short rostrum, and short 
rostral canal, the metasternum unimpressed. The ochreous spot at the middle of the 
suture is large. This is one of the few forms received by us from Northern Mexico, 
and, like LZ. oblongulus, it is not very closely allied to any of the others here described. 
38. Lechriops flavofasciatus, sp. n. (Tab. VII. fig. 7.) 
Oblong-elliptic, rather narrow, shining, piceous, the apical margin of the elytra rufous ; sparsely squamose, 
the scales on the prothorax white and condensed into three interrupted vitte, the elytra with a basal fascia 
of coarse ochreous scales, the suture narrowly and a spot at the sides beyond the middle white, the seriate 
punctures each with a piliform scale; the under surface clothed with coarse white scales, the vestiture 
of the legs fine and also white. Eyes very large, narrowly separated. Rostrum rugose and carinate at 
the base. Joint 2 of the funiculus elongate, much longer than 1. Prothorax short, slightly narrowed in 
front; coarsely, densely punctate, and feebly carinate. Elytra broadly and separately rounded at the apex, 
the humeri smooth and bare; deeply punctate-striate, the interstices narrow and rugose. Mesosternal 
excavation shallow, limited on each side by a curved ridge, the metasternum gradually declivous in front. 
Legs short ; femora obsoletely dentate, the posterior pair carinate externally ; tarsi comparatively long. 
Length 24, breadth 17 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
One rather worn specimen. In this small species the elytra have a transverse band 
of coarse ochreous scales at the base and a conspicuous white spot at the sides beyond 
the middle, the rostral canal does not extend beyond the mesosternum, &c.

Faust placed four S.-American species under the generic name Lulechriops, which 
may be distinguished in a general way from Lechriops by the unarmed, non-carinate 
femora. Amongst the numerous forms here provisionally referred to it, there are
