EURHINUS.—EURHINOPNSIS. 39) 
5. Kurhinus yucatecus, sp.n. (Tab. XIX. figg. 36, 36a, 3.) 
Rhomboidal, robust, very shining, cupreous, the antennz, the disc of the prothorax, the elytra (except along 
the suture, base, and outer margin), and sometimes the under surface and legs also, indeterminately 
suffused with sneous or greenish-zneous. Head sparsely, finely punctate, depressed between the eyes ; 
rostrum very stout, arcuate, about as long as the head and prothorax, somewhat closely punctate, the 
antennee inserted beyond the middle. Prothorax transverse, convex, conical, narrow and tubulate in 
front ; sparsely, finely punctate, and with a line of punctures along the basal margin. Scutellum strongly 
transverse, triangular, very sparsely punctate. Elytra triangular, excavate and foveate at the base of the 
third stria, the humeri thickened and subangularly dilated ; seriate-punctate, striate at the base, apex, 
and sides, the sutural stria also distinct and with a row of rather coarse punctures, the interstices flat, 
very sparsely, finely punctate. Pygidium closely punctate. Beneath coarsely, the abdomen more finely, 
punctate. Tibiw more or less crenulate within, each armed with a sharp tooth on the inner side towards 
the apex. 
3. Anterior tibie a little elongated; anterior tarsi slightly dilated and somewhat hairy, the third joint large ; 
metasternum and first ventral segment excavate in the middle, the fifth segment with a transverse 
piligerous fovea; joints 2-7 of the funiculus rather broad, shallowly sulcate beneath. 
Q. Anterior tibiz shorter; ventral depressions shallower, the fifth with a smaller fovea; funiculus more 
slender. 
Length 44-54, breadth (at shoulders) 23-33 millim. (d 2.) 
Hab. Murxico, Temax in N. Yucatan (Gaumer). 
Sent us in numbers by Gaumer, many of the specimens in a bad state of preserva- 
tion*. This is the Yucatan form of the variable Z#. festivus, from which it may be 
known by its different colour and the more coarsely punctate sutural stria of the elytra. 
The ventral fovea is constantly present in the female, and the excavation of the male 
is deep. 
Sect. BARIDES. 
Baridiides vrais, Lacordaire, Gen. Col. vii. p. 224. 
The species of this section, two genera only of which were recognized by Lacordaire, 
have a fully exposed vertical or subvertical pygidium in both sexes f (usually larger 
and more convex in the male than in the female), and the mesosternum not wholly 
covered by the basal process of the prosternum. The N.-American forms have been 
placed under numerous genera by Casey, many of these being represented within our 
limits. The male-characters are feeble, as compared with those of the Centrinides, 
and the prosternum is very rarely spinosef. Pseudobaris, Lec., includes some of the 
most abundant of the Central-American Barids. 
EURHINOPSIS, gen. nov. 
Mandibles decussate; rostrum curved, stout, very short, the antenne inserted at about the middle, rather 
slender, the joints of the funiculis closely articulated, widening outwards, the club ovate; prothorax 
* Due to having been baked to prevent mould. 
+ Except in the female of Pseudobaris lucida, in which it is subhorizontal and almost hidden by the elytra. 
+ In some of the §.-American species of the genus Angpsilus, Kirsch (= Balbus, Pasce.).
