NEANTHRIBUS.—EUPARIUS. 345 
white-crested ridge of raised pubescence ; this ridge does not reach the middle, but is posteriorly extended 
beyond the tufts; a similar but much shorter ridge outside the first; apical area luteous-cinnamon in 
middle; apical edge fringed with white. Elytra with alternate interspaces somewhat convex, dotted with 
white and black, especially the suture and the ninth interspace, the others being less distinctly or not at 
all dotted in the middle third of the elytron; three tufts in third interspace, first and third luteous- 
cinnamon, second bright luteous and gradually diminishing in height forming a kind of carina; fifth 
interspace with a minute tuft behind middle, before which tuft there is a black spot extending to seventh 
interspace, another tuft before apex tipped with white; apical area not white, uneven, an ill-defined, 
elongate, black, subapical spot on suture; sutural angles tuberculiform, with a black spot on outer side ; 
lateral margin with long hairs. 
Length 3-43 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
Three females. 
9. Neanthribus pistor, sp. n. (Tab. XII. fig. 26.) 
3 2. Pubescent white. A spot behind eye and a few hairs an occiput clay-colour. Pronotum white, shaded 
with luteous from apical margin to tufts, the area extending laterally as far as the lateral tufts, rest of 
upperside of prothorax clayish-colour, much variegated with white and brown, a transverse spot behind 
the lateral tufts black; the three tufts rather small, of equal size, luteous, a transverse row of four small 
white dots, one dot before the lateral tuft, the other halfway to lateral carina. Elytra white, base and a 
transverse sutural area behind middle shaded and variegated with luteous ; third interspace with three 
small luteous tufts, the third white behind, fifth and seventh interspaces each with two more or less 
distinct brown or black dots behind middle, no tuft before apex in fifth interspace; apical area uneven, 
white, a brown or black ovate spot on suture and a dot on each sutural angle; no long hairs on lateral 
margin. Legs variegated with luteous, especially the anterior ones, not roughly hairy as the other species 
here described. 
Length 5-53 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
One pair.

Range: South and Central America; some Old World species. 
$ 2. Rostrum short and very stout, broader than thick. Mandible characteristic, being concave on the 
inner side and bearing a heavy tooth each at the dorsal and ventral edges (a character discovered by 
Schoenherr), Under lip broad, not deeply divided. Antennal groove close to eye, vertical. Eye coarsely 
granulated, lateral, truncate in front, or minutely sinuate (in Z. luridus only). Antenna short; a club 
of three segments, broad. Carina of prothorax basal, slightly removed from basal edge in middle, mostly 
vertically above basal edge at lateral angle, here touching elytron, continued laterally to middle; angle 
90° or less, seldom slightly obtuse, often very acute. LElytra very diverse, basal margin of each convex. 
Prosternum short in comparison with pronotum. 
The ¢ has the antenna and tarsi somewhat longer than the 9, the abdomen is often depressed mesially, 
bearing sometimes tufts, or tubercles, or patches of long hairs, and the hind femur is granulose beneath ; 
in EZ. calearatus, Jord. (1904), the $ has an apical spur to the hind tibia.
