first ventral segment broadly excavate down the middle in the c? , the depression extending for some 

 distance forwards on to the long metasternum. Third tarsal joint a little wider than the second. 



Length lf-2£, breadth £-f millim. ( 6 ? 



Hab. Guatemala, CapetilJo and Zapote, Pacific slope (Champion).

Eleven specimens, three only of which are fully coloured. Near 8. fryi, Woll., 

 from Brazil, but less depressed, the rostrum longer and smoother, the puncturing of 

 the prothorax and elytral striae stronger, this last-mentioned character also separating 







L 











S. wollastoni from the N.-American S. jpallidus (Boh.). The ventral depression of the 

 male is large. The anterior coxse are widely separated. 









5. Stenomimus ovaticollis, sp. n. 



Elongate, narrow, shining, black or nigro-piceous, the tip of the rostrum, the base of the antennae, and the 

 tarsi more or less ferruginous. Head almost smooth, the eyes transverse, rounded, and somewhat 

 prominent ; rostrum cylindrical, rather slender, curved, about half the length of the prothorax, sparsely, 

 finely punctate. Prothorax about as long as broad, oval, rapidly narrowing from the basal third and 

 constricted in front ; closely, finely, uniformly punctate. Elytra a little wider than the prothorax, 

 subparallel in their basal half, conjointly rounded at the apex ; deeply punctate-striate, the sutural stria 

 broader and deeper than the others, the interstices narrow, somewhat convex, and finely uniseriate- 

 punctate. Anterior coxse separated by distinctly more than their own width. Beneath closely, finely 

 punctate ; metasternum excavate down the middle posteriorly, the first ventral segment broadly excavate 

 in the centre, and the fifth transversely depressed at the apex, in the S • Tibiae with a minute tooth at 

 the inner apical angle, the anterior pair sinuate within. Tarsi long, the third joint widened, the fourth 

 very slender and as long as the others united. 



Length 2£-2f , breadth f millim. ( <$ .) 



Hab. Guatemala, Totonicapam 8500-10,500 feet {Champion). 



* 



Six specimens, apparently all males, found near the summit of the Cordillera, and 

 doubtless taken under pine-bark. In this insect the prothorax is strongly rounded at 

 the sides posteriorly and rapidly narrowed thence to the subapical constriction. The 

 elytra are more rounded at the sides than in S. guatemalensis and the rostrum is 

 longer than in that species. 



6. Stenomimus guatemalensis, sp. n. (Tab. II. fig. 3.) 



Subfusiform, narrow, shining, varying in colour from black, with the antennae, legs, and tip of the rostrum 

 ferruginous, to entirely rufo-testaceous. Head smooth, the eyes rounded and somewhat prominent; 

 rostrum rather short, stout, closely punctate to the tip. Prothorax slightly longer than broad, somewhat 

 conical, constricted in front ; closely, finely, uniformly punctate, and sometimes with a faintly impressed 

 median line towards the base. Elytra barely wider than the prothorax, subparallel in their basal half; 

 deeply punctate-striate, the interstices narrow and finely uniseriate-punctate. Anterior coxae separated 

 by about their own width. Beneath closely punctate ; ventral segments 1 and 2 depressed along the 

 middle in the c? . 



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



Hab. Guatemala, Capetillo and Zapote, Pacific slope {Champion). 



Six examples, three of them fully coloured. Closely related to S. wollastoni, and 

 occurring at the same localities, differing from it in the shorter, stouter,
