HOMOCLEUS. 333 
1. Homocleus pardalis, sp.n. (Tab. XI. figg. 23, 23 a, b*.) 
¢ @. Rufescent above, brown beneath, marked all over with more or less sharply defined white dots. 
Rostrum about as long as broad, rugosely punctured, carina not quite reaching to apex. Head 
longitudinally plicate; frons less (¢) or a little more ( 2) than half the width of the rostrum. Antenna 
rufescent, end-segment luteous ; segment 9 as long as broad, 10 more than twice as broad as long. 
Prothorax conical from carina forward, feebly depressed anteriorly and posteriorly on disc, no distinct 
puncturation ; carina slightly concave, feebly curved forward at sides. Elytra regularly punctate-striate, 
alternate interstices convex, two tubercles in third interstice, one subbasal, the other antemedian, both 
brown, with a white dot in front and behind. Legs rufescent, dotted and ringed with white. 
Length 3-4 millim. 
Hab. Nicaracua, Chontales (Bel¢) ; Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui, Bugaba (Champzton). 
A small series. 
2. Homocleus puncticollis, sp. n. (Tab. XI. fig. 24.) 
$ 2. Black-brown; beneath pubescent grey, marmorated with brown at the sides; upperside luteous-grey, 
irrorated and spotted with brown; third interstice of elytron with conspicuous, brown and grey, 
elongate spots. 
Rostrum longer than broad, densely punctate-rugate, with short and feebly elevate mesial carina. Head 
plicate, grey pubescence condensed at edge of eye. Antenna rufescent-brown, end-segment luteous ; club 
longer in ¢ than in 9; segment 9 longer than broad in both sexes. Prothorax conical, very densely 
punctate above, carina practically straight, hardly at all curved forwards at sides. EHlytra regularly 
punctate-striate ; alternate interstices convex, third subcostate. Pygidium gibbose in middle. Prosternum 
rather densely punctured. Femora grey, spotted with brown ; tibie and tarsi brown, a very broad 
subbasal ring on tibia and the greater part of the first tarsal segment grey. 
Length 3-5 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Toxpam (Sal/é). 
Three males and one female. A specimen from Senahu, Vera Paz (Champion), 
nearly agrees with H. puncticollis, except that it has the eyes more widely separated. 
3. Homocleus concolor. (Tab. XI. figg. 25, 25a.) 
Homocleus concolor, Jordan, Nov. Zool. xi. p. 264. n. 46 (1904) *. 
The specimens now seen differ from the type in having the markings grey, instead of tawny. 
Hab. Costa Rica, Piedras Negras (Schild-Burgdorf, in Mus. Tring); Panama, David 
(Champion).—BRazit, Para '. 
Two females. A male from Guatemala, Zapote (Champion), probably belongs to 
this species; it has the grey dots smaller than in the females. 
4. Homocleus femoralis. (Tab. XI. figg. 26, 26a.) 
Homocleus femoralis, Jordan, Nov. Zool. xi. p. 265. n. 47 (1904) *. 
Third interspace of elytron with two tubercles. Tibix and tarsi luteous. 
Hab. Nicaragua 1, Chontales (Belt). 
Four specimens. 
* This and the following three species are incorrectly placed under the generic name Monocleus on the Plate.
