GLYPTOBARIS. 405 
1. Glyptobaris rugata, (Tab. XX. figg. 10, 104, 3.) 
Baridius rugatus, Boh. in Scbénh. Gen. Cure. viii. 1, p. 170°. 
3. Prosternum armed with two transversely placed tubercles in the middle near the base. 
Hab. Muxico (coll. Solari), Tultepec [Toulcpec!], San Andres Tuxtla, Toxpam, 
Playa Vicente, Cosamaloapam (Sailé), San Rafael Jicaltepec (Zownsend, in U.S. Nat. 
Mus.), Motzorongo (Flohr), Jalapa, Oaxaca (LHége), Teapa (Hoge, H. H. Smith), 
Temax in N. Yucatan (Gaumer); British Honpuras, Belize, Rio Hondo (Blan- 
caneaux) ; GUATEMALA, La Tinta, Senahu, and San Juan in Vera Paz, Las Mercedes 
(Champion), Trece Aguas (Barber & Schwarz, in U.S. Nat. Mus.) ; Nicaraaua, 
Chontales (Belt); Costa Rica, Puerto Limon (Knab, in U.S. Nat. Mus.); Panama, 
Tolé (Champion). 
A widely-distributed and common insect in Central America, the series before me 
varying greatly in the sculpture of the upper surface, the single examples from Costa 
Rica and Panama having the elytra nodose, much as in G. evulsa (Kirsch). 
2. Glyptobaris spinigera, sp.n. (Tab. XX. figg. 11, lla, ¢.) 
Oblong, rhomboid-ovate, piceous, the tarsi ferruginous at the tip; the basal two-thirds of the elytra closely 
variegated with coarse, and the rest of the upper surface with scattered narrow, elongate, ochreous scales, 
the under surface and legs sparsely and finely setulose. Head very sparsely punctate, deeply trans- 
versely sulcate between the eyes, the latter rather small; rostrum strongly arcuate, a little longer than 
the head and prothorax, exceedingly stout, tapering towards the tip, somewhat abruptly bent inward at 
about the apical third in the ¢, coarsely, rugosely punctate, subecarinate at the base, becoming much 
smoother at the tip. Prothorax rounded at the sides anteriorly, very coarsely, confluently punctate, the 
smooth, narrow, raised interspaces forming sinuous longitudinal ruge, the dise with a conspicuous median 
carina, which in the fully-developed ¢ is produced into a long, stout, smooth, spiniform process. Llytra 
rounded-triangular, flattened on the disc, narrowly punctate-striate, the interstices finely costate towards 
the sides and apex, seriate-punctate, the punctuation becoming closer and irregular towards the suture 
anteriorly. Beneath very coarsely, closely punctate. Basal process of the prosternum armed with two 
stout compressed tubercles in the ¢. Legs rugosely punctate. 
Length 31-42, breadth 17-2; millim. (¢ @.) 
Hab. Mexico, Tapachula in Chiapas (Hége: 3g); GuaTEemMaLA, Zapote and San 
Gerénimo (Champion). 
Eight males and six females, one of the former with the prothoracic process small 
and just covering the scutellum. The females are separable from those of G. rugata 
by their more flattened and less uneven elytra. Perhaps an extreme form of G. rugata, 
localised in Guatemala and the adjacent portion of Mexico? G. spinigera is the only 
Barid known to me with a spiniform process to the base of the prothorax in the male. 
3. Glyptobaris solarii, sp.n. (Tab. XX. fig. 12, 2.) 
Oblong-rhomboidal, shining, piceous, the base of the antenne and the tarsi ferruginous ; very sparsely clothed 
with long, pallid, setiform scales, the under surface and legs finely setulose. Head sparsely punctate, 
deeply transversely sulcate between the eyes; rostrum strongly arcuate, very stout, tapering, about as 
long as the head and prothorax, coarsely punctate, almost smooth at the tip. Prothorax obliquely and
