¢ 9. Brown, light pubescent parts rufescent ; head and rostrum luteous-grey ; pronotum with luteous-grey 
dots; elytra luteous-grey tessellated and marmorated with brown, except a large lateral patch, which is 
almost uniformly brownish-black, extending from shoulder to apical declivity. 
Rostrum nearly twice as broad as long. Frons one-third ( ¢ ) or half (@ ) the width of the rostrum. Eye 
half as long again as broad in g, rather shorter in 9. Antenna rufous at base. Prothorax nearly as 
long as broad in d, shorter in 9, very densely granulate-rugate, oblique sides feebly rounded, carina 
antebasal, produced forward at sides beneath angle for a short distance. Seutellum semicircular, grey. 
Elytra half as long again as broad, slightly depressed at suture, punctures of stripes rather large. 
Pygidium irrorated with brown, broader, longer, and less rounded in ¢ than in 9. Legs pale rufous, 
tip of tarsi brunnescent; first tarsal segment about half the length of the tibia, a little longer in ¢ than 
in 2; mid tibia of g with black apical dilatation, hind tibia with vestige of such an armature. 
Length 3 millim. 
Hab. Paxama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
One male, six females. 
8. Ormiscus lateralis, sp.n. (Tab. XIII. fig. 27.) 
S$ Q. Close to O. laticollis ; eyes a little closer together; prothorax much shorter, with a cordiform spot in 
middle before carina, the latter more acutely projecting laterad, its extreme end not curved forward 
beneath angle ; elytra also much shorter, with an ill-defined brown dorsal space before apical declivity : 
tarsi shorter. 
Length 23 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
A small series of each sex. 
9. Ormiscus elegans, sp.n. (Tab. XIII. fig. 29.) 
g. Blackish-brown, light-pubescent parts rufescent ; upperside irrorated with grey pubescence, marked with 
black patches ; underside densely grey; rostrum and frons densely clayish-grey. 
Rostrum twice as wide as long. Frons nearly half the width of the rostrum. Eye long, not quite twice 
as long as wide, anterior lobe much smaller than posterior. Antenna rufous at base, intermediate 
segments brown with rufescent bases, club black. Prothorax about as long as broad, minutely granulate, 
with straight sides from carina forward ; carina evenly concave; apex of prothorax paler than disc, sides 
brownish-black. Scutellum transverse, white. Elytra elongate, subcylindrical, a little flattened above, 
with the sides somewhat inflexed behind base, punctate-striate, alternate interstices feebly convex, a lateral 
patch before middle and a dorsal patch before apex brownish-black. Pygidium longer than broad. A 
patch at base of abdomen and another at middle of hind femora brownish-black (this pattern continuous 
with the antemedian patch of the elytron), rest of legs luteous, apex of the long tarsi brunnescent ; 
mid and hind tibia with broad pointed mucro ; first tarsal segment long, that of hind tarsus being longer 
than the tibia. 
Length 3} millim. 
Hab. Guaremata, Cerro Zunil (Champion). 
One male. 
10. Ormiscus subtilis, sp.n. (Tab. XIII. fig. 30.) 
3. Brownish-black. Head and rostrum densely pubescent-grey. rons half as wide as the base of the 
rostrum. Anterior lobe of eye much narrower than posterior. Antenna rufescent proximally ; segment 3
