120 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
lanciform space ; rostrum closely, rather coarsely punctate in its basal half, without median carina ; joint 2 
of the funiculus about half the length of 1, the club rather narrow. Prothorax transverse, convex, 
rounded at the sides, narrowed in front; densely punctate. Elytra a little wider than the prothorax, 
truncate at the apex, the humeri not prominent; punctato-sulcate, the interstices flattened and almost 
smooth, narrow on the disc, broad towards the sides. Mesosternum broad, declivous, unimpressed. 
Intercoxal portion of the metasternum broad, flattened. Ventral segment 1 flattened and rugulosely 
punctate in the middle; 2 abruptly declivous posteriorly, Legs short; femora unarmed, shallowly 
sulcate beneath. 
Length 34, breadth 13 millim. (¢.) 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
One specimen. This species has the general facies of EH. melancholicus, &c., but 
the mesosternal impression is wanting and the eyes are well-separated above. The 
elytral interstices are flattened and almost smooth. The patches of coarse white scales 
are sharply defined, above and beneath. | 
22. Kulechriops sexnotatus, sp. n. (Tab. VII. fig. 26.) 
Oblong-ovate, rather convex above, black, the antenne, apical margin of the elytra, and tips of the tarsi 
ferruginous; the prothorax with a spot at each hind angle, the elytra with a spot on the suture below 
the base, a smaller one towards the tip, and a spot on each side beyond the middle, and the under surface 
in great part, clothed with coarse whitish scales, the rest of the upper surface almost bare, the legs with 
whitish scales. Eyes moderately large, subcontiguous. Rostrum stout, arcuate, rugulosely punctate and 
finely carinate at the base. Joint 2 of the funiculus shorter than 1. Prothorax transverse, rounded at 
the sides, constricted and narrowed in front; densely, finely punctate. Elytra much wider than the 
prothorax, rounded at the tip, the humeri rather prominent; punctato-sulcate, the interstices not wider 
than the strie, irregularly uniseriate-punctate. Mesosternal depression shallow, transverse, the broad 
metasternum declivous in front. Legs short and stout; femora unarmed, shallowly sulcate beneath, the 
intermediate and posterior knees rather sharp. 
Length 23, breadth 1} millim. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
One specimen, rather worn. Very like £. scutulatus, but with the elytra more 
rounded at the sides and with a white lateral spot, the interstices less flattened and not 
so smooth, the prothorax less coarsely punctate, the eyes much more approximate 
above, the broad mesosternal depression distinct, the second joint of the funiculus 
longer. We have here two closely related forms, one with (£. sernotatus) and the 
other without (£. scutulatus) distinct mesosternal excavation, showing that this 
character cannot always be relied upon for generic separation. 
23. Kulechriops albolineatus, sp.n. (Tab. VII. fig. 27.) 
Subelliptic, black, the antenne and the apical margin of the elytra obscure ferruginous ; above sparsely, the 
legs and under surface thickly, clothed with rather coarse white scales, the scales on the prothorax 
condensed into three vitte (the two outer ones widening inwards towards the base) and those on the 
elytra into an interrupted line on each interstice. Eyes moderately large, narrowly separated in front. 
rostrum rugulosely punctate in its basal half, not carinate. Joint 2 of the funiculus about half the 
length of 1. Prothorax a little broader than long, narrowed and feebly constricted in front ; densely 
punctate. lytra considerably wider than the prothorax, separately rounded at the tip; deeply punctate- 
striate, the interstices flattened and rugose. Mesosternum very slightly depressed, the depression
