124 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
with coarse yellowish-white scales, the ventral segments 3 and 4 with a transverse fulvous space at the 
middle; the vestiture of the legs whitish and fulvous, the posterior femora with a dark space towards 
the apex. Eyes moderately large, narrowly separated. Rostrum stout, carinate and rugulose at the 
base. Joints 1 and 2 of the funiculus equal in length. Prothorax transverse, subconical, constricted in 
front; densely, finely, rugulosely punctate, and subcarinate. Elytra rather convex, flattened at the base, 
rounded at the sides, blunt at the tip; deeply punctate-striate, the interstices almost flat. Mesosternal 
excavation shallow, trapezoidal, the metasternum declivous in front. Anterior coxal prominences pointed. 
Legs short; femora unarmed, the posterior pair compressed. 
Length 34, breadth 1,9 millim. 
Hab. Guatemata, Duefas (Champion). 
One specimen. An isolated form. The disc of the prothorax and the base and apex 
of the elytra are clothed with fulvous scales, the triangular black lateral patches on the 
elytra are connected across the middle, and the rounded yellowish-white spot on each 
side of the base of the prothorax is sharply defined. 
31. Eulechriops maculicollis, sp.n. (Tab. VII. fig. 33. 
Ovate, flattened above, shining, nigro-piceous, the dorsal surface of the elytra, the apex of the abdomen, the 
antenney, rostrum, and legs ferruginous; the prothorax with a very large, rounded, dense patch of white 
scales on each side (extending from the base to near the apex), and the elytra with two spots on the 
outer part of the disc also white, the rest of the vestiture of the upper surface sparse, ochreous, and 
piliform, that of the under surface coarse, close, and white, the legs with fine, whitish, piliform scales 
Eyes large, subcontiguous. Rostrum arcuate, rugulosely punctate at the base. Joints 1 and 2 of the 
funiculus subequal in length. Prothorax short, narrowing from near the base, constricted in front ; 
densely, finely punctate and obsoletely carinate. Elytra broad, rounded at the apex, flattened on the 
disc; punctate-striate, the interstices narrow, feebly convex, and rugulose. Mesosternal excavation 
broad and rather deep, the carine sharp, the metasternum simply declivous in front. Legs short, rather 
slender ; femora unarmed, the posterior pair reaching a little beyond the second ventral suture. 
Length 22, breadth 12 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Jalapa (Hége). 
One specimen, somewhat abraded beneath. Distinguishable by the very large dense 
white patch on each side of the prothorax, the flattened, rufescent elytra, with two 
small white spots on the outer margin, and the reddish legs. 
82. Eulechriops pusillus, sp.n. (Tab. VIII. figg. 2, 2a.) 
Short ovate, rather convex above, black, the antenne, rostrum, elytra (an elongate streak on the basal portion 
of the suture excepted), tibiw, and tarsi ferruginous or testaceous; the vestiture whitish, in one specimen 
intermixed with ochreous above, rather close, and on the elytra mainly condensed into various transverse 
patches and a broad interrupted sutural stripe, the prothorax with two bare spaces on the disc. Eyes 
moderately large, almost contiguous in front. Rostrum short, stout, arcuate, slightly widened at the tip, 
finely punctate, rugose at the base. Joint 2 of the funiculus much shorter than 1. Prothorax transverse, 
rounded at the sides, constricted and much narrowed in front ; densely, finely punctate. Scutellum scarcely 
visible. Elytra comparatively short, much wider than the prothorax, rounded at the apex; deeply 
punctate-striate, the interstices convex, a little wider than the strie, punctulate. Mesosternal excavation 
broad, trapezoidal, the metasternum declivous in front. Legs very short and stout; femora unarmed, the 
posterior pair not reaching beyond the second ventral suture, the intermediate and posterior pairs shallowly 
suleate beneath ; tarsal claws minute. 
Length 2, breadth 1/4;-14 millim.
