PSEUDOBARIS. 453 
Hab. Mexico, Motzorongo in Vera Cruz (Osborn, in U.S. Nat. Mus.: 2); PANAMA, 
San Feliz in Chiriqui (Champion: ¢ ). 
‘Three specimens, the female (fig. 11) with larger white patches at the base of the 
elytral interstices 3-6, the one on 3 being more extended than the rest in all of them. 
This insect resembles P. binotata, but the elytral interstices are more finely punctate, 
the scattered white sete are wanting, the anterior femora are distinctly dentate, and 
the rostrum of the female is more elongate. 
13. Pseudobaris carinipectus, sp.n. (Tab. XXI. figg. 12, 12a, b, ¢.) 
Oblong, very shining, black; the elytral interstices clothed with long, coarse, scattered, seriately-arranged, 
decumbent, white seta, the third also with a dense oblong patch of hair-like white scales at the base ; 
the punctures on the under surface and legs each bearing a small white scale. Head closely punctate, 
transversely grooved between the eyes; rostrum arcuate, very stout, not longer than the head and 
prothorax, densely punctate, flattened at the tip in the 2, the antenne inserted at about the middle. 
Prothorax much broader than long, transversely convex, strongly constricted in front, deeply bisinuate 
at the base, the sides rounded anteriorly and parallel behind; closely, moderately coarsely punctate, 
except along the smooth median line. Elytra oblong, gradually narrowing from the base, feebly 
transversely depressed on the disc before and beyond the middle; narrowly punctate-striate, the 
interstices broad, finely and irregularly uniseriate-punctate, flat to near the tip, 38 widened at the base, 
9 raised at the apex. Pygidium large, densely punctate, somewhat tumid in the d, flattened and 
vertical in the 9. Beneath closely punctate; first ventral segment slightly hollowed down the middle 
inthe ¢. Prosternal sulcus rather broad, deep, parallel-sided, limited behind the coxe by a prominent 
v-shaped ridge (fig. 126). Anterior femora distinctly serrate, the others with an almost obsolete tooth. 
Anterior tibi with a short tooth at the inner apical angle, in addition to the usual uncus, 
Length 4-54, breadth 2-22 millim. (¢ Q.) 
Hab. Mexico, Cuernavaca (Sallé) ; Guatemaa, Duefias (Champion). 
Found in numbers at Duefias. More oblong than P. undulata; the elytral interstices 
not sharply carinate at the apex, more finely punctate, and sparsely albo-setose; the 
prosternal sulcus margined posteriorly and receiving the antennal club in repose. 
This lastementioned character is suggestive of Aulodaris, but the antenne have a short 
second joint to the funiculus as in Pseudodbaris. 
14. Pseudobaris fasciculata, sp.n. (Tab. XXI. figg. 13, 13 a, 6, 3.) 
Oblong-ovate, moderately convex, rather broad, shining, black; the elytra with small scattered fascicles of 
rather coarse, white, setiform scales (fig. 13 b) on the interstices 3, 5, 7, and 9, and a larger spot at the 
base of 3, as well as seriately-arranged smaller setiform scales on the rest of their surface ; the sides of the 
prothorax, the under surface, and legs sparsely clothed with small hair-like white scales. Head closely 
punctate, transversely grooved between the comparatively small eyes ; rostrum stout, arcuate and shorter 
than the prothorax in the ¢, abruptly bowed and slightly longer in the @, closely, somewhat coarsely 
punctate, the antenn inserted at about the middle, joint 2 of the funiculus very little longer than 3. 
Prothorax transverse, moderately convex, strongly constricted in front, rounded at the sides anteriorly ; 
closely, coarsely punctate, except along the smooth median line. Elytra with sharply-cut, feebly- 
punctured stria, the interstices flat, broad, and closely, irregularly biseriate-punctate on the disc, 
narrower and coarsely uniseriate-punctate towards the sides. Py gidium vertical, densely punctate. 
Beneath closely punctate ; first ventral segment slightly hollowed along the middle in the g. Prosternal 
sulcus rather shallow. Femora obsoletely dentate. 
Length 4-44, breadth 2-2, millm. (¢ 2.) 
Hab. Mexico, Toxpam and Juquila (Sai/é) ; Guatemaa, Capetillo (Champion).
