EULECHRIOPS. 123 
the elytra with a large triangular scutellar patch (extending outwards to the humeri), the suture broadly 
thence to the tip, and a common transverse fascia beyond the middle, clothed with rather long, piliform, 
whitish scales, the rest of the vestiture of the upper surface sparser and darker, that of the under surface 
and legs whitish. Eyes moderately large, contiguous in front. Rostrum feebly arcuate, slender, short, 
smooth and shining, except at the base, the antenne inserted far behind the middle, joint 2 of the 
funiculus much shorter than 1. Prothorax transverse, strongly rounded at the sides, narrowed in 
front ; densely, finely punctate, and subcarinate. Elytra a little wider than the prothorax, rounded- 
subquadrate, blunt at the tip; shallowly punctate-striate, the interstices rugulose, flat, and much broader 
than the narrow strie. Mesosternal excavation narrow, the metasternum unimpressed. Legs very short ; 
femora unarmed, shallowly sulcate beneath, the posterior pair reaching the second ventral suture. 
Length 23, breadth 14 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
One specimen. Smaller and less elongate than EZ. longipennis, the rostrum shorter, 
smoother, and more slender, the canal not impinging on the metasternum, the legs 
shorter, the femora with a longer sulcus beneath. The broader prothorax, with 
strongly rounded sides, the narrower and shallower elytral striae, the shorter rostral 
canal, &c., separate E. levirostris from LZ. brevipes. The antenne are inserted rather 
near the base of the rostrum. 
29. Kulechriops leucospilus, sp. n. (Tab. VII. fig. 31.) 
Elliptic, rather narrow, black, the antenne, apical margin of the elytra, and tarsi ferruginous ; the prothorax 
with a large spot on each side at the base and sometimes a small one on the median lobe, the elytra with 
a common A-shaped mark below the base, a transverse patch at the sides before the middle, a large spot on 
the suture beyond the middle, and the apex, and the under surface in great part, thickly clothed with 
coarse white scales, the elytra also with scattered ochreous scales, which become more crowded on the 
basal portion of each interstice, the rest of the vestiture of the upper surface fine and inconspicuous, that 
of the legs white. Eyes moderately large, subcontiguous in front. Rostrum short, stout, arcuate, 
rugulosely punctate and subcarinate at the base. Funiculus stout, joint 2 about half the length of 1. 
Prothorax broader than long, somewhat rounded at the sides anteriorly, constricted and narrowed in 
front ; densely, finely punctate. Elytra wider than the prothorax, rounded at the tip; deeply punctate- 
striate, the interstices narrow, convex, rugose. Mesosternum vertical, slightly depressed. Legs short ; 
femora unarmed. 
Length 22, breadth 11 millim. 
Hab. Guatemata, Duefias (Champion). 
Two specimens. The short stout rostrum and funiculus, the shallow mesosternal 
excavation, and the peculiar elytral markings distinguish /. leucospilus. The white 
scales on the elytra are condensed into a common, interrupted, angulate fascia below 
the base and a large spot on the suture beyond the middle; and the ochreous ones into 
a transverse band at the base, much as in Lechriops flavofasciatus. 
30. Eulechriops plagiatus, sp. n. (Tab. VII. fig. 32.) 
Ovate, robust, shining, nigro-piceous, the upper surface in great part ferruginous (a very large subtriangular 
blackish space at the sides of the elytra excepted), the rostrum, antenne, knees, tibie, tarsi, and abdomen 
also ferruginous; the vestiture rather coarse and close: the head with a fulvous line around the eyes ; 
the prothorax fulvous, with a large rounded patch on each side at the base, and an interrupted median 
line, yellowish-white ; the elytra with the dark lateral spaces, which are connected near the middle by an 
interrupted fascia, clothed in great part with black scales, the apex. broadly and the base fulvous, and the 
suture in part, and an interrupted undulate fascia before the middle, white; the under surface clothed
