less evenly pubescent grey upperside.

3 9. Differs from Nemotrichus especially in the pronotal carina being basal. 
The genus is purely American, like Nemotrichus. Seven species are known, one 
only having been discovered in Central America. Schoenherr, when describing the 
“subgenus” Corrhecerus, gave as type Anthribus miatus, Germ., adding “ plures species 
non vidi,” As the only species described? as being contained in his collection is 
fiaccidus, it appears to me to be evident that he originally mistook this jlaccidus for 
Germar’s mixtus, flaccidus therefore being the type of Corrhecerus. 
1. Corrhecerus belti, sp. n. 
gd. Close to C. hector, Jekel (1855), from the Amazons. Shorter. Basal angle of prothorax feebly but 
distinctly produced backwards, angle of carina 90°, with the extreme tip only rounded off, lateral carina 
continued to near apical constriction, but the anterior additional portion less elevate than the rest; side 
of prothorax more evenly rounded in middle. Suture of elytra distinctly depressed from middle to apex. 
Pygidium almost evenly rounded; the mesial double carina reaching close to apical edge. Mesosternal 
process more rounded in lateral aspect, the lateral apical margin not being horizontal but somewhat 
slanting. 
The specimen described, which is somewhat abraded, shows also some differences in colour. The pubescence 
is more clayish above, the small black markings of the elytra and the black lateral dots of the abdomen 
are larger, and the second tarsal segment is almost completely pubescent brown. 
Length 9 millim. 
Hab. Nicaracua, Chontales (Belt). 
One male.
