HOLOSTILPNA.—DYSNOS. 383 
in the other two species, not quite so heavily seriate-punctate as in H. nitens, but more strongly than in 
H, glabra. Puncturation of mesosternum denser than in the other species. 
Length 12 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 3000 feet (Champion). 
One female. 
3. Holostilpna picipes, sp. n. 
Q. Agreeing with H. nitens in the even lateral curve of the subbasal carina of the pronotum and the rather 
deep striation of the elytra. Antenna pitchy, its base and the legs rufescent; segments 6, 7, and 8 of 
antenna shorter than in H. nitens, club broader. The lateral branch of the subbasal carina of pronotum 
longer than in H. nitens, closer to the second lateral carina. Elytra longer, less rounded at sides before 
middle, first stripe with irregular double row of punctures from base to apical third, these punctures 
rather more numerous than in H. nitens Q. 
Length 1? millim. 
Hab. Guatemata, Purula (Champion). 
One female. 
XL. DYSNOS. 
Dysnos, Pascoe, Aun. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (3) iv. p. 438 (1859) (type: awricomus). 
Range: Oriental and Neotropical Regions, probably cosmopolitan. 
3 2. Eye elongate, vertical, coarsely granulose; frons narrower posteriorly than behind the antennal 
grooves ; prothorax very densely punctate-reticulate, basal angle acute, carina basal ; elytra very densely 
granulose. 
1. Dysnos rufipes, sp.n. (Tab. XIV. figg. 29, 29 a.) 
g. Black, opaque, sparsely pubescent-grey ; base of antenna luteous, mouth-parts and legs rufous. Elongate, 
subcylindrical. Prothorax conical, with the sides slightly rounded, one-third broader than long. 
Elytra nearly twice as long as broad, of even width from base to apical declivity, punctate-striate, the 
stripes distinctly impressed, eighth interspace wider than the others, with irregular large punctures. 
Length 1) millim. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 3000 feet (Champion). 
One specimen. 
2. Dysnos brevis, sp. n. 
Q. In colour like the preceding, legs and base of antenna more pitchy. Much shorter and broader ; prothorax 
nearly twice as broad as long; elytra more strongly convex behind base, eighth interspace not wider than 
the others, without large punctures. 
Length 1 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 2500-4000 feet (Champion). 
One specimen, apparently a female.
