114 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
7. Hulechriops lugubris, sp.n. (Tab. VII. fig. 14.) 
Ovate, black, the antenne and tips of the tarsi ferruginous; the upper surface sparsely clothed with fine, 
narrow, fuscous, and the under surface with longer and coarser, white, scales, the elytra with a few 
hair-like white scales beyond the middle, these being condensed into a short line on the fifth interstice. 
Eyes large, contiguous in front. Rostrum rugulosely punctate and carinate at the base. Joint 2 
of the funiculus a little shorter than 1. Prothorax transverse, rather convex, rounded at the sides, 
constricted and narrowed in front; densely, coarsely punctate and carinate. LElytra broad, obliquely 
truncate at the tip; coarsely punctate-striate, the interstices asperato-punctate. Rostral canal deep, 
extending beneath the emarginate anterior margin of the metasternum. Legs short; femora unarmed, 
sulcate beneath. 
Length 32, breadth 2 millim. 
Hab. Panama, near the city (Champion). 
One specimen. Smaller than Z. melas, the elytra with a short line of narrow white 
scales on the fifth interstice beyond the middle (instead of two conspicuous yellowish- 
white spots near the suture), the metasternum deeply emarginate in front, the ring of 
ochreous scales on the abdomen wanting. 
8. Eulechriops melancholicus, sp. n. (Tab. VII. fig. 15.) 
Oblong-elliptic, robust, shining, black, the antenne and tarsi ferruginous; sparsely clothed with small, narrow, 
white scales, which on the prothorax are mostly clustered along the basal margin, those on the elytra 
condensed into a faint, common, curved fascia before the middle, extending along the suture to the base, 
anda broad streak along the suture at the apex, the rest of the elytral surface with scattered darker scales. 
Head sparsely punctate ; eyes moderately large, subcontiguous ; rostrum widened towards the base and 
apex, rugulosely punctate, smooth along the middle; joint 2 of the funiculus shorter than 1. Prothorax 
broader than long, rather convex, somewhat rounded at the sides, narrowed and constricted in front ; 
closely punctate, the punctures well separated one from another, the disc distinctly carinate down the 
middle. Elytra much wider than the prothorax, separately rounded at the apex; deeply punctate- 
striate, the interstices uniseriate-punctate. Rostral canal very deep, extending beneath the anterior 
margin of the metasternum. Legs short and stout ; femora unarmed, sulcate beneath. 
Length 3, breadth 1} millim. 
Hab. GuateMaLa, Zapote (Champion). 
One specimen. Not unlike Lechriops sciurus (the type of the genus Lechriops), 
but more elongate, the punctuation of the prothorax finer and not so close, the elytra 
faintly albo-fasciate below the base, the femora more robust and unarmed, the eyes 
less acuminate below. 
9. Eulechriops brevipes, sp.n. (Tab. VII. fig. 16.) 
Ovate, rather convex, shining, black, the rostrum, antenne, apical margin of the elytra, knees, tibise, and 
tarsi ferruginous ; the prothorax with a broad space along the sides and a spot in front of the scutellum, 
the elytra with several short streaks at the base, the suture, a rather broad angulate fascia beyond the 
middle, and a transverse fascia at the apex (the two fasciz connected along the suture and fourth 
interstice), a spot on the mesothoracic epimera, the metasternum, and abdomen, thickly clothed with 
narrow yellowish-white scales, the rest of the surface, the legs included, almost bare or with minute 
scattered hair-like scales. Head small; eyes contiguous, moderately large; rostrum stout, rugulose and 
subcarinate at the base, smooth at the tip ; joints 1 and 2 of the funiculus equal in length, 5—7 transverse. 
Prothorax short, narrowing from the base; densely, very finely punctate, and obsoletely carinate.
