130 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
pygidium densely set with radiato-pectinate, white scales, the intraocular portion of the head with 
narrow white scales; legs albo-pilose, the tibiz also with long projecting hairs on their outer edge. 
Eyes separated by a little less than the width of the rostrum. Rostrum slender, slightly longer than 
the head and prothorax, sparsely punctulate in its basal half. Joints 2-6 of the funiculus short, 2 small, 
not longer than 3. Prothorax broader than long, rounded at the sides anteriorly, narrowing from behind 
the middle; densely, finely, shallowly punctate. Elytra very little wider than the prothorax, subparallel 
in their basal half; coarsely punctate-striate, the interstices feebly convex and sparsely punctulate. 
Beneath closely punctate, the ventral segments 3 and 4 smoother in the middle, 5 very deeply emarginate 
at the apex, leaving the lower segment of the pygidium exposed. 
Length 23, breadth 1,4, millim. (¢?) 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
One specimen, in perfect condition. A remarkable insect clothed with very long 
and shorter hairs, and radiato-pectinate* and narrow scales. Similarly pectinate 
scales or hairs are present in Philinna, Lemorchestes, Tachygonus, a few species of 
Otidocephalus, &c. 
ADDENDUMf. 
The following very distinct new species of Piazurus was not seen till it was too late 
to insert the insect in its proper place in the Zygopina:— 
PIAZURUS (p. 9). 
12 (a). Piazurus ephippiatus, sp. n. (Tab. VIII. fig. 11.) 
Oblong-subrhomboidal, black, clothed with minute brown and ochreous scales, the ochreous scales condensed 
into a narrow line around the eyes, a narrow, oblique, sharply-defined vitta on each side of the dise of 
the prothorax, and a line around the submedian band on the elytra, the elytra with the following velvety- 
black markings—a transverse, rounded patch on each side of the scutellum, a very broad, common, 
saddle-shaped fascia a little beyond the middle, a spot at the sides in front of this (scarcely visible from 
above), and an oval spot on the outer part of the disc near the apex; the vestiture of the under surface 
very scattered, white, ochreous and brown intermixed. Head finely punctate; rostrum carinate and 
punctate at the base; eyes narrowly separated ; joint 2 of the funiculus much longer than 3. Prothorax 
broader than long, conical; densely, minutely punctate, and finely carinate. Elytra one-half broader 
than the prothorax, elongate-triangular, rounded at the tip; coarsely scriate-punctate, the interstices 
flat and minutely punctate. Beneath very sparsely, finely punctate; ventral segment 1 broadly depressed 
down the middle, 5 truncate at the apex. Pygidium narrowly exposed. Femora unidentate, 
Length 132, breadth 63 millim. (¢.) 
fab. Panama, Chiriqui (coll. Fry, in Mus. Brit.). 
One specimen, probably collected by Trétsch. Near P. melanostictus, Boh., but 
with several very large velvety-black patches on the elytra. 
* Casey (Ann. N. York Acad. Sci. ix. p. 681) uses the term “ multifurcate hairs” for this form of vestiture.

received too late to be quoted in the preceding pages.
