A series. 
2. Neanthribus segregus, sp. n. (Tab. XII. figg. 19, 19a) 
Q. Similar to NV. championi in the pronotum bearing two tufts at the apical edge and a long one in the centre, 
but differs as follows :— 
Pronotum more variegated with brown in front and at the sides, but before scutellum with a small black dot 
only; hinder side of apical tubercles and hinder and upper sides of lateral median tubercles black, frontal 
side creamy-white, this colour extended from lateral tubercle obliquely forward towards middle in two 
lines bordering a black curved linear spot joining the one of the other side, thus forming a black semi- 
circle ; a white dash laterally of lateral tubercle. Elytron more strongly punctured than in WV. championt, 
suture less distinctly tessellated, tufts smaller, sutural area behind middle tufts more luteous, less white, 
lateral margin with some long hairs. 
Length 5 millim. 
Hab. Guatemata, Torola (Champion). 
One female. 
3. Neanthribus hieronymus, sp. n. (Tab. XII. figg. 20, 20 a.) 
3. Brown-black, shaft of antenna and legs rufescent; pubescence greyish clay-colour, some indistinct spots 
on head, suture and apical area of elytra whitish-grey, frons with two thin but distinct carine. Pro- 
notum with three black tufts of nearly the same size, the mesial one placed a little more forward than the 
others, an ill-defined black spot extending from the lateral tubercle to the base, a trace of such a spot 
also behind the mesial tubercle as well as some white speckles. Elytron with long hairs at side-margin ; 
suture slightly tessellated, pubescence of alternate interspaces feebly raised, faintly tessellated, an elongate 
sutural spot before apex black, three black tufts of equal size in third interspace, fifth interspace with a 
very small tuft or pustule obliquely behind the second tuft of the third interspace. 
Length 4 millim. 
Hab. Guatemata, San Geronimo (Champion). 
Three males. 
4. Neanthribus obtusus, sp.n. (Tab. XII. figg. 21, 21 a.) 
Pubescent luteous above, white or grey beneath. Rostrum and head feebly speckled with white, eye thinly 
edged with white. Pronotum broader, and less gradually narrowed at apex than usual, basal angle 
more obtuse; three small tufts tipped with black and the trace of another on each side towards the end 
of the lateral carina, area between the three tufts greyer than rest of pronotum; two lines of 
raised pubescence extend from mesial tuft obliquely forward. Elytra short, with white or luteous-grey 
sub-basal belt extending backwards at the sides, being gradually widened, a rounded apical area white or 
luteous, including a round black spot on suture and a smaller ovate one near each sutural angle; near 
base a small luteous-grey tuft in both first and third interspaces, more or less brown in front, third 
interspace, moreover, with a small tuft in middle and a slightly larger one before apical declivity, luteous, 
tipped with white, fifth interspace with pustule before apex ; some indistinct brown tessellations at sides ; 
lateral margin and the legs with long hairs. 
Length 43-5 millim.
