EULECHRIOPS. 1165 
Scutellum small. Elytra much wider than the prothorax, rounded at the sides, broadly truncate at the 
tip; deeply punctate-striate, the interstices punctulate and feebly convex. Mesosternal depression very 
broad, limited on each side by an oblique ridge. Intercoxal portion of the metasternum broad, deeply, 
semicircularly excavate in front. Legs very short; femora unarmed, sulcate beneath, the posterior pair 
not reaching beyond the second ventral suture. 
Length 21, breadth 1} millim. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 8000 feet (Champion). 
One specimen. This species—one of many interesting forms obtained in the 
bamboo-thickets at a high elevation on the forest-clad slope of the Volcan de 
Chiriqui—may be known by its broad, rounded-subquadrate, sharply fasciate elytra, 
narrow, subconical, laterally vittate prothorax, and very short legs. ‘The mesosternal 
depression is broad, and the rostral canal extends to the front of the metasternum. 
10. Hulechriops tuberculifer, sp.n. (Tab. VII. figg. 17, 17 a.) 
Ovate, rather convex, piceous, the head, antenne, rostrum, anterior lobe of prothorax, shoulders and apical 
portion of elytra, tip of abdomen, and legs more or less ferruginous ; the vestiture fine, flavo-cinereous, 
sparser on the middle of the prothorax and condensed into narrow lines on the elytra, the elytra with a 
darker transverse fascia before the middle and a short whitish streak a little below the base of the first 
and second interstices, the prothorax with a patch at each hind angle and a short streak at the middle 
of. the base, and the under surface and legs, also whitish. Eyes large, contiguous in front. Rostrum 
arcuate, sparsely punctate, rugulose at the base. Joint 2 of the funiculus shorter than 1. Prothorax 
transverse, somewhat rounded at the sides, constricted and narrowed in front; densely, finely punctate, 
and obsoletely carinate. Elytra much wider than the prothorax, rounded-triangular, short, conjointly 
rounded at the apex; punctate-striate, the interstices not wider than the strie, rugose. Rostral canal 
deep, broad, the metasternal excavation short and triangular. First ventral segment with a prominent 
compressed tubercle in the middle at the apex. Legs short ; femora sulcate beneath, unarmed. 
Length 2, breadth 14; millim. (¢.) 
Hab. Guatemana, San Gerdnimo (Champion). 
One specimen. This is the only Zygopid I have seen as yet with a tubercle on the 
first ventral segment. 
11. Eulechriops flavitarsis, sp. n. (Tab. VII. fig. 18.) 
Ovate, somewhat flattened above, black, the antenna, rostrum, tibie, tarsi, and apical margin of the elytra 
rufo-testaceous ; the head with a line around the eyes, the prothorax in great part (a large rounded 
patch on the disc excepted), the elytra with numerous short streaks at the base, across the middle (here 
forming an irregular, common, arcuate fascia), and at the apex, the under surface, and legs, somewhat 
thickly clothed with rather coarse, narrow, white scales, the rest of the vestiture of the prothorax and 
elytra sparse and brownish. Eyes moderately large, almost contiguous. Rostrum slender, arcuate, 
rugulosely punctate at the base. Joint 2 of the funiculus a little shorter than 1. Prothorax transverse, 
narrowing from the base, strongly constricted in front; densely, finely punctate. LElytra rather broad, 
rounded at the apex; punctate-striate, the interstices very little wider than the striw, rugulose, flat. 
Rostral canal broad, deep, smooth, extending into the anterior portion of the metasternum. Legs short 
femora deeply sulcate beneath, unarmed. 
Length 24, bre adth 12 millim. 
Hab. Guatemata, Duefias (Champion).
