2, Lagopezus inversus, sp.n. (Tab. X. fig. 23.) 
3. In colour similar to L. tenvicornis, Fabr. (1801), but the suture of elytra not tessellated. Proportionally 
shorter; upperside more irregularly grooved ; frons broader ; tenth antennal segment more than twice 
as broad as long; dorsal carina triflexuose, forming in middle an obtuse but very distinct angle which 
points forward ; basal callosity of elytron higher and more abrupt. 
Length 6 millim. 
Hab. Guaremata, Cubilguitz in Vera Paz (Champion). 
One male. 
3. Lagopezus morio, sp.n. (Tab. X. fig. 24.) 
In general appearance not unlike Piezocorynus tristis, Jekel (1855). 
3 2. Black, covered with a greyish-black pubescence which is somewhat paler than in Z. tenuicornis, with 
the following velvety-black markings: on pronotum two oblique apical lines converging anteriorly, a 
basal patch on each side more or less produced beyond carina; on elytra a sutural streak from near base 
to middle, the suture dotted with black from this streak to apex ; antenna rufescent, last segment luteous. 
Rostrum shorter than in LZ. tenurcornis; frons wider ; pronotum shorter, with the basal carina rather farther 
from the base in middle, the mesial vestigial callosity standing close to the carina, the side less incurved 
before basal angle, the lateral carina being much less flexed ; elytra shorter, interspaces more even, with 
traces of tubercles, which are more or less tipped with black, basal callosity higher than in ZL. tenuicornis, 
more abrupt at sutural side. 
Length 5 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui, Bugaba, Tolé (Champron).
