BARIS. A471 
29. Baris punctirostris, sp. n. 
Oblong-ovate, very finely alutaceous, moderately shining, aneous, the tibie sometimes reddish ; the punctures 
at the sides of the prothorax, along the elytral interstices, and on the under surface and legs each 
bearing a very small, setiform scale. Head closely, minutely punctate, transversely grooved between the 
eyes; rostrum very short, stout, arcuate, closely punctate to the tip in both sexes. Prothorax transverse, 
gradually narrowing from the base, constricted in front; densely punctate, except along the smooth 
median line. Scutellum small, rounded, concave. Elytra sharply, narrowly striate, the strie feebly 
punctate, the first deeply impressed from a little below the base, the interstices broad, flat, closely 
uniseriate-punctate, the third, and sometimes the second also, confusedly punctured, the ninth raised 
towards the apex. Beneath closely punctate ; metasternum and first ventral segment hollowed in the 
middle in the g¢. Tibie almost straight. 
Length 3-31, breadth 13-1} millim. (¢ @.) 
Hab. Guatemata, Quezaltenango 7800 feet (Champion). 
Three specimens. An oblong, «neous form very near B. erea, with a closely 
punctured rostrum, a densely punctured prothorax (except along the sharply-detined 
median line), and closely seriate-punctate, finely setulose elytra. More elongate than 
B. setosella, the elytral interstices less densely and not so coarsely punctate. More 
closely punctate above (the rostrum included) than Bb. corrusca, the elytral vestiture 
conspicuous. 
30. Baris seriatosetosa. (Lab. XXII. figg. 23, 23 a, ¢ .) 
Baris seriatosetosa, Solari, Aun. Mus. Genova, xli. p. 419 (1906) *. 
Hab. Mexico, “Sierra de Durango ” 1. 
A small, oblong-ovate, somewhat depressed form, w«neo-piceous in colour, with an 
extremely short rostrum, a densely punctured prothorax (without trace of smooth 
median line), a minute, subquadrate, smooth scutellum, and closely, finely uniseriate- 
punctate elytral interstices, the punctures on the elytra each bearing a small, con- 
spicuous, setiform scale. B. seriatosetosa comes very near some of the varieties of 
B. erea. 
31. Baris macraspis, sp.n. (Tab. XXII. figg. 24, 24a, 2.) 
Subovate, shining, piceous, with a faint eneous tinge; glabrous above, the punctures on the under surface 
and legs each bearing a minute scale. Head very sparsely, minutely punctate, transversely grooved 
between the eyes; rostrum stout, strongly arcuate, shorter than the prothorax, flattened at the tip, 
sparsely, minutely punctate. Prothorax transverse, compressed at the sides in front, sparsely, somewhat 
tinely punctate. Scutellum narrowed posteriorly, oblong, small, flattened. Elytra a little wider than 
the prothorax, rounded-subtriangular, depressed along the suture, narrowly striate, the interstices very 
proad, flat, each with a row of extremely minute scattered punctures, the ninth raised towards the 
apex. Beneath closely, the abdomen sparscly and finely, punctate. Prosternum slightly depressed 
along the middle to near the base. Tibi straight. 
Length 82, breadth 14 millim. (@.) 
Hab. Guatemaa, Duefias (Champion). 
One specimen. A subovate form, with a sparsely punctured prothorax, very broad,
