118 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
and finely carinate. Elytra shining, deeply punctate-striate, the interstices rugulosely punctate, slightly 
wider than the strie. Rostral canal deep, closed behind, entering the declivous anterior portion of the 
metasternum. Femora sulcate beneath, unarmed. 
Length 22, breadth 13 millim, 
Hab. Mexico, Cerro de Plumas (/ége). 
One specimen. Not unlike the Venezuelan £. erythroleucus, Faust, but larger, 
with an uninterrupted line of yellowish hair-like scales down each elytral interstice, and 
the denser, whitish, sutural streak widened below the base, the elytra also with a white 
spot at the sides beyond the middle, the rostrum stouter, &c. 
17. Eulechriops longipennis, sp.n. (Tab. VII. figg. 22, 22 a.) 
Oblong, somewhat convex above, rufo-piceous ; the prothorax with a transverse space at each angle and a broad 
interrupted median vitta, the elytra with the base, apex, suture, and an interrupted postmedian fascia, 
the entire under surface, and legs, thickly clothed with small, narrow, flavo-cinereous scales, the rest of 
the upper surface almost bare. Head finely punctate; eyes moderately large, narrowly separated ; 
rostrum arcuate, rather stout, closely punctate at the base; joint 2 of the funiculus shorter than 1. 
Prothorax transverse, strongly rounded at the sides, constricted and narrowed in front; densely, finely 
punctate, and carinate. Elytra comparatively long, a little wider than the prothorax, blunt at the tip ; 
with sinuous, finely punctured strie, separated by broad, flat, rugulose interstices. Beneath closely 
punctate. Rostral canal deep, extending into the anterior portion of the metasternum. Legs short ; 
femora unarmed. 
Length 4, breadth 1;°, millim. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
One specimen, perhaps a little worn. An isolated form, recognizable by its oblong 
shape, fine sculpture, trifasciate elytra, &c. The elytra are relatively narrower than 
in EL. nigrolineatus, being very little wider than the prothorax. 
18. Eulechriops elongatus, sp. n. (Tab. VII. fig. 23.) 
Oblong, narrow, nigro-ficeous, the antenne, rostrum, anterior portion of the prothorax, elytra, and legs 
obscure ferruginous ; the prothorax with three small patches in front and three at the base, the elytra 
with an elongate patch on the anterior portion of the suture, another at its apex, the base, and a broad 
space on the outer part of the disc beyond the middle, the under surface, and legs, clothed with small, 
narrow, flavo-cinereous scales, the rest of the upper surface almost bare. Eyes moderately large, 
narrowly separated. Rostrum stout, feebly arcuate, sparsely, minutely punctate. Joint 2 of the 
funiculus shorter than 1. Prothorax transverse, rounded at the sides, narrowed and constricted in 
front; densely, finely punctate, and with a short median carina. LElytra a little wider than the 
prothorax, rather long, rounded at the tip; punctate-striate, the interstices shining, punctulate, and 
somewhat convex. Rostral canal deep, extending into the anterior portion of the metasternum. Legs 
short, rather slender; femora unarmed. 
Length 24, breadth 1 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Yautepec in Morelos (//6ge). 
One specimen. Very like a N.-American insect sent me by Mr. Wickham under 
the name Copturus minutus, Lec.*, but with the rostral canal extending to the 
* The type of the genus Zygomicrus, Casey, who places it in his table amongst the genera with the 
“‘mesosternum not excavated.” The insect sent me by Mr. Wickham has a deep mesosternal cavity.
