EULECHRIOPS. 121 
limited on each side by a faint oblique ridge. Intercoxal portion of the metasternum broad, flattened. 
Legs short, stout; femora unarmed, sulcate beneath ; tarsal claws very small. 
Length 27, breadth 12 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Tapachula in Chiapas (Hdge). 
One specimen. Near E. scutulatus, but with the prothorax trivittate, and the 
elytra narrowly interruptedly lineate with white, the interstices of the latter rugose 
and the apices separately rounded, the mesosternum very shallowly transversely 
depressed, the eyes more approximate above. 
24. Eulechriops ductilis, sp. n. (Tab. VII. fig. 28.) 
Oblong-elliptic, black, the antenns, tip of the rostrum, apical margin of the elytra, tibie, and tarsi ferruginous ; 
the prothorax with a large spot on each side at the base and a small one in front of the scutellum, the 
elytra with the suture or an oblong spot at its base and apex, a streak at the base of the second 
interstice, and a spot at the sides beyond the middle, and the under surface, thickly clothed with coarse 
white scales; the rest of the vestiture finer, ochraceous or brown, the elytra with a few coarser pallid 
scales along the base of each interstice, the legs with narrow white scales. Eyes moderately large, 
subcontiguous in front. Rostrum rugulosely punctate and feebly carinate, smoother at the tip. Joint 2 
of the funiculus slightly shorter than 1. Prothorax a little broader than long, gradually narrowing 
forwards, constricted in front; densely punctate. Elytra deeply punctate-striate, the interstices narrow 
and rugose. Rostral canal deep, just entering the abruptly declivous metasternum. Legs short ; femora 
without trace of tooth, suleate beneath. 
Var. The disc of the elytra ferruginous to beyond the middle. 
Length 2-22, breadth 1-1} millim. 
“39 
Hab. Mexico, Chilpancingo (H. H. Smith) ; Guatemata, Dueftas (Champion). 
Three specimens from Mexico and one (the variety) from Guatemala. In this insect 
the coarse oval white scales on the elytra are clustered into asutural stripe (sometimes 
reduced to two oblong spots) and a spot at the sides, and those on the prothorax into 
three spots at the base, the tibize and tarsi are wholly ferruginous, and the femora are 
unarmed *, From &. septemnotatus it may be known by the unarmed anterior femora. 
25. Eulechriops pygmzus, sp. n. 
Subovate, black, the antenne, rostrum, apical margin of the elytra, tibie, and tarsi ferruginous or rufo- 
testaceous ; the prothorax with a spot on each side at the base and an incomplete median vitta, the 
elytra: with a short streak on each interstice at the base, an elongate streak on the suture towards 
the apex, and a spot on each side beyond the middle, and the under surface in great part, clothed with 
coarse white scales, the rest of the vestiture of the upper surface sparse, fine, and brownish, that of the 
legs white. Eyes moderately large, contiguous in front. Rostrum arcuate, rugulose at the base. Joint 2 
of the funiculus much shorter than 1. Prothorax short, densely punctate, and with a short median 
carina. Elytra wider than the prothorax, rounded at the tip; deeply punctate-striate, the interstices 
narrow, convex, and rugose. Rostral canal rather deep, not extending beyond the mesosternum. Legs 
short ; femora sulcate beneath, unarmed. 
Length 12, breadth 1 millim, 
Hab. Guatemata, San Juan in Vera Paz (Champion), Coban (Conradt). 
* In the British Museum there is a rubbed specimen from ‘“‘ Mexico” perhaps belonging to the same species, 
but it has the rostrum more rugose, the prothorax carinate, and the tibie infuscate, and the lateral white 
spot on the elytra is wanting.
