EUSPHYRUS. 373 
3. Husphyrus unicolor, sp. n. (Tab. XIV. fig. 13.) 
3. Black ; elytra slightly rufescent ; base of proximal antennal segments and of first tarsal segment, as well 
as greater portion of tibiw, rufous; the whole body densely covered with a whitish-grey pubescence, 
without markings. Frons less than half the width of the rostrum. Prothorax one-third broader than 
long, widely separate from elytra at sides, but carina touching scutellum and being at sides almost verti- 
cally over the true basal edge, projecting laterad. Scutellum longer than broad. Elytra elongate, not 
flattened, not so wide at base as prothorax, deeply striate-punctate, basal callosity hardly vestigial. 
First tarsal segment about half as long as the tibia, that of fore tarsus longer than the claw-segment ; 
mid tibia with a small apical mucro. 
Length 2 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Caldera in Chiriqui (Champion). 
One male. 
4. Kusphyrus scutosus, sp.n. (L. scutellaris, Tab. XIV. fig. 14.) 
?. Brown; underside pubescent white-grey ; upperside brown spotted with white-grey dots, which are partly 
arranged in transverse rows. Frons two-thirds the width of the rostrum. Antenna rufescent at base ; 
club rather compact, last segment broader than long. Prothorax one-fourth broader than long, conical, 
with the sides feebly rounded, very densely punctate-reticulate ; apex rufescent, spots in this area larger 
than on rest of pronotum ; carina projecting laterad and somewhat backwards, the basal angle of the 
pronotum being very acute. Elytra broad, short, narrower at shoulder than prothorax, very slightly 
flattened above, not distinctly impressed at suture, very densely granulate, with the basal, dorsal, and 
humeral callosities vestigial; stripes of punctures rather coarse; white dots denser at and near suture 
before middle, and again just behind middle; a conspicuous white basal streak on suture, about four 
times as long as broad. Legs rufous; middle of femora and especially the tarsi brunnescent. 
Length 24 millim. 
Hab. GuateMALa, San Gerénimo (Champion). 
One female. 
5. Husphyrus ros, sp.n. (Tab. XIV. fig. 15.) 
3 2. Brown, slightly rufescent; underside, rostrum, sides of head, and a number of dots and spots on 
pronotum and elytra whitish-grey ; rest of upperside coppery-brown. Head and rostrum more densely 
pubescent in ¢ thanin 9. Fronsin 9° half, in ¢ less than half, the width of the rostrum. Antenna 
rufous at base. Prothorax nearly half as broad again as long, finely rugose, closely applied to elytra ; 
carina projecting beyond shoulders; an interrupted mesial vitta (or two spots) accompanied by some 
minute dots, further laterad a row of three (or two) dots, and still further towards the side some more 
dots, grey. Scutellum grey. Llytra short, strongly punctate-striate, with convex interstices, a larger 
sutural basal spot laterally contiguous with a subbasal dot situated in third and fourth interspaces, the 
same interspaces bearing a dot behind middle and another before apex ; two to four small dots in each of 
the other interstices, besides some extremely minute speckles. Legs rufous; middle of femora, apex 
of tibie, and the tarsi brunnescent; mid tibia of g strongly mucronate, the mucro curved, pointed ; 
fore tarsus of ¢ longer than tibia. 
Length 13 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
A small series of each sex. Close to H. hamatus and E. scutellaris, Jord. (1904), 
from Brazil, differing from them in the less convex pronotum, less concave earina, 
much more rounded shoulder-angles, more extendedly rufous legs, &c.
