370 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
usually connected with some dots which form a half-ring behind the feeble basal callosity. Pygidium 
with a few grey dots. Legs rufescent-brown, tibiw paler. 
Length 2 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba, David (Champion). 
Three females. 
90. Ormiscus phzomelas, sp.n. (Tab. XIV. fig. 9.) 
2. Black, partly rufous, variegated with luteous-grey pubescence. Frons three-fourths the width of the 
rostrum, pubescent luteous-grey near eyes, dotted with similar pubescence centrally. Anterior lobe of 
eye narrower than posterior. Third segment of antenna half as long again as fourth, the eighth sub- 
globular. Prothorax less than half as broad again as long, subconstricted before carina, rufous at apex, 
spotted with luteous-grey, a subapical spot at each side of mesial line larger than the others; carina 
almost vertical above the basal edge, not farther from basal edge at sides than in middle, projecting 
laterad, not flexed forward beneath angle. 
Elytra nearly twice as long as broad, with the subbasal callosities distinct; rufescent, a scutellar space, a 
patch in middle, and another behind middle, suture and lateral margin more or less black, these black 
portions ill-defined. Pygidium grey, very slightly variegated with brown. Legs blackish-brown ; base 
of femora and of first tarsal segment and middle of tibiee (or basal two-thirds) rufous, 
Length 2 millim. 
Hab. Guatemata, Totonicapam 8500-10,500 feet (Champion). 
Two females. 
21. Ormiscus marmoreus, sp.n. (Tab. XIV. fig. 10.) 
9. Rufescent-brown, pubescent-grey beneath. Head and rostrum variegated with grey. Rostrum feebly 
emarginate. Frons more than half the width of the base of the rostrum. Anterior lobe of eye much 
narrower than posterior. Antenna rufescent at base; segment 3 half as long again as 4, 9 broader than 
long, 10 more than twice as broad as long, 11 longer than 9. Prothorax constricted before carina, the 
angle of carina strongly projecting laterad; one-third broader than long, dotted with grey and brown ; 
carina subbasal, not flexed forward at sides beneath angle. 
Elytra nearly twice as long as broad, slightly depressed in second interspace, rufescent, tessellated with 
brownish-black, the dots more or less confluent transversely ; pubescence buffish-grey. Pygidium semi- 
circular, grey, variegated with brown. Legs rufous; middle of femora, tip of tibie and of tarsal 
segments brown; first tarsal segment half the length of the tibia. 
Length 3 millim. 
Hab. Guatemata, Quiché Mountains 7000-9000 feet (Champion). 
One female. 
XXX. EUSPHYRUS. 
Eusphyrus, Leconte, Proc. Amer. Phil. Soc. xv. p. 399 (1876) (type: walshi). 
Range: America; numerous species, 
go 2. Similar to Ormiscus, but carina basal. The line of separation between Ormiscus and Eusphyrus is 
difficult to draw. The basal angle of the prothorax is more produced than in Ormiscus, extending 
generally a little beyond the shoulder and being more or less curved backwards.
