RHYNCHOPHORA. 
with brown. Legs brown; apex of femora, basal two-thirds of tibie, and nearly the whole first tarsal 
segment luteous. 
Length 2 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Atoyac in Vera Cruz (H. H. Smith). 
One female. 
14. Eusphyrus rugicollis, sp. n. (Tab. XIV. fig. 21.) 
2. Black; first segment of antenna, apex of pronotum, apical edge of elytra, and larger portion of tibie rufous. 
Rostrum rufescent at apex, sparsely clothed with luteous scale-hairs like the head. rons more than half 
the width of the base of the rostrum. Prothorax more than half as broad again as long, more strongly 
rounded at sides than usual in this genus, coarsely and densely rugate-reticulate, marked with a few 
grey spots; carina basal, lateral angle very little projecting laterad. Elytra almost evenly convex, not 
impressed at suture, interspaces densely granulate; an elongate spot at base of suture creamy-white, 
sutural area from this spot to apical declivity more densely pubescent with greyish-white than the rest of 
the elytra. Pygidium nearly semicircular, brown, with dispersed grey hairs. 
Length 12 millim. 
Hab. Guatemaua, Torola, 1000 feet (Champion). 
One female.

15. Eusphyrus analis, sp.n. (Tab. XIV. fig. 22.) 
. Robust, blackish-brown, pubescent luteous-grey, more whitish beneath than above. Frons a little 
less (¢ ) or a little more (2 ) than half the width of the base of the rostrum. Antenna brown; segment 1 
rufous, 9 about as long as broad. Prothorax half as broad again as long, densely and coarsely rugate- 
plicate, depressed before the carina; basal angle rather strongly projecting laterad and a little backwards ; 
apical edge, an interrupted mesial vitta, and some lateral discal spots grey. Elytra subquadrangular, 
strongly declivous behind, depressed basally at suture, the subbasal callosities being distinct though not 
tuberculiform, strongly punctate-striate ; a semicircular band from shoulder to shoulder, ill-defined, and 
apical declivity densely pubescent luteous-grey; suture and lateral margin spotted with luteous-grey. 
Pygidium longerin ¢ than in 9, not semicircular, being in ? almost rotundate-truncate at apex. Legs 
rufous, middle of femora, apex of tibiew and of tarsal segments brunnescent; mid tibia of ¢ with curved 
apical mucro and proximally of it with a tooth. 
Length 24 millim. 
Hab. Guatemaa, Calderas, 7000 feet (Champion). 
One male, two females. In colour and shape similar to E. loderus, but easily 
distinguished by the rugate-plicate pronotum. 
16. Eusphyrus simplex, sp. n. 
Q. Brown, apex of pronotum, nearly the whole elytra, base of antenna, tibia (except tip), and basal half of 
first tarsal segment rufous. Frons two-thirds the width of the base of the rostrum, sparsely pubescent- 
clay like the rostrum. Antennal segment 9 broader than long, asymmetrical at apex, 11 also a little wider 
than long. Prothorax more than half as broad again as long, rotundate-angulate, depressed along the 
carina, plicate-reticulate, with dispersed luteous spots, basal angle slightly projecting. Elytra evenly 
convex, not depressed at suture, with the subbasal callosities vestigial, rather deeply punctate-striate, the 
interspaces minutely and dispersedly granulate, luteous-grey, suture blackish, chequered with grey, some 
brown spots on disc near suture, no sharply-defined markings laterally. Pygidium semicircular, grey. 
First hind tarsal segment half the length of the tibia. 
Length 2 millim.
