EUGONUS.—EUGONODES. 351 
genus. Eugonus can be divided into two groups, the species of the typical group 
having the sterna smooth at the sides, the second group having them punctured 
laterally. In Central America only two species, belonging to the second group, have 
so far been found.

elytra is generally buffish-ochraceous, but sometimes whitish-grey.

2. Eugonus decorus, sp.n. (Tab. XIII. fig. 10.) 
3. Close to Z. ornatus, Jord. (1904), from Brazil, the ninth antennal segment longer, the pattern different, and 
the legs not rufous except the knee-joints and the claws. Pronotum with a large but not sharply marked 
patch on each side extending forward beyond middle, touching the second of two small black dorso- 
lateral spots standing between apical margin and middle. Elytra greyish-white, ornamented with the 
following black markings: a round spot on shoulder; a cruciform sutural patch at base; a transverse 
submedian band consisting of an elliptical sutural patch and a larger lateral patch which is sinuate at 
the lateral margin and behind and is connected with the basal patch behind the shoulder ; a large round 
subapical patch which reaches neither suture nor outer margin. 
Length 5 millim. 
Hab. Nicaragua, Chontales (Janson). 
One male. Perhaps only a geographical race of E. ornatus, of which we have a 
series. 
XXIII. EUGONODES. 
Eugonodes, Jordan, Nov. Zool. xi. p. 302 (1904) (type: marmoreus). 
Like Eugonus, but with the apical sinus of rostrum vestigial or absent.

9. Eugonodes brevirostris, Jordan, 1. c. n. 130 (1904) *.
