fiHINANISUS.— STENOTEUPIS.

little longer, smoother, and more slender, the elytra somewhat longer, flatter, and 





parallel to near the tip, the under surface not so closely punctate. In both species th 



* 



eyes are small and separated by a narrow space from the transverse furrow behind then: 





4. Rhinanisus tenuiculus, sp. n. 



Elongate, n arrow, moderately depressed, finely alutaceous, shining, piceous, the antennae, tip of the rostrum, 

 apical margin of the elytra, and legs reddish ; clothed with scattered minute hairs, which become longer 

 and setiform at the apex of the elytra. Head and rostrum sparsely, finely punctate, the rostrum rather 

 slender and sub cylindrical, the antennae inserted behind the middle. Prothorax a little longer than 

 broad, gradually narrowing from the rounded hind angles, strongly constricted in front, finely, somewhat 

 closely punctate. Elytra moderately long, subparallel in their basal half, closely punctate-striate, the 

 interstices feebly convex, faintly uniseriate-punctate, the punctures becoming more distinct at the apex. 

 Beneath sparsely, finely punctate. Tarsi with joints 1 and 2 rather slender, 4 long and narrow. 



Length 2-2f, breadth |-§ millim. ( $ .) . 



Hob. Guatemala, Duenas, Atlantic slope {Champion). 



Two specimens. Extremely like B. pilicauda, but easily separable therefrom by the 

 longer and more slender tarsi, the prothorax, too, is a little more coarsely and sparsely 



punctured. Less elongate than B. ventralis and B. planatus, the prothorax less 



rounded at the sides, the elytra distinctly more convex.

5. Ehinanisus pilicauda, sp. n. 



Elongate, narrow, moderately depressed, finely alutaceous, shining, piceous, the antennae and humeri reddish ; 

 clothed with scattered minute hairs, which become longer, erect, and setiform at the apex of the elytra. 

 Head and rostrum sparsely punctate, the rostrum slender and almost straight in the $ , and a little 

 shorter, stouter, and more curved in the 3 ; the antennae inserted behind the middle, the eyes slightly 

 prominent. Prothorax longer than broad, suboval, strongly constricted in front, closely, finely punctate. 

 Elytra moderately long, subparallel in their basal half; closely punctate-striate, the interstices faintly 

 uniseriate-punctate, the punctures becoming more distinct at the apex. Beneath finely, rather sparsely 

 punctate ; first ventral segment slightly depressed down the middle in the <S . Tarsi stout, comparatively 

 short, the third joint feebly emarginate. 



Length 2|, breadth 4 millim. ( c? ? •) 





Hab, Guatemala, Chiaoam in Alta Vera Paz {Champion), 



One pair. Differs from the other species of the genus in the rather short, stout 



tarsi. The setiform pallid hairs at the apex of the elytra are conspicuous.

The two forms referred to this genus by Wollaston are from the Malay Islands* 

 and Cuba respectively. The one now added is the first to be recorded from the

* S. exilis, Pasc, from Aru, is based on two different species, the female being a true Stenotrupis and the 

 male belonging to a very different genus, Coptus, Woll. The two sexes of the Malayan S. crassifrons were 

 described by Wollaston.
