and without definite subapical constriction ; coarsely, densely punctate. Elytra at the base slightly 

 wider than the prothorax, conjointly rounded and narrowly explanate at the apex, the humeri subangular 

 in front ; with rows of coarse, subquadrate, closely-placed punctures, separated by very narrow, raised, 

 uniseriate-punctate, subasperate interstices. Beneath closely, moderately coarsely punctate ; first ventral 

 segment depressed down the middle in the J . 

 Length (includ. rostr.) 3g-3|, breadth 1 millim. 



Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 3000 feet (Champion). 



Six specimens. Compared with Calyciforus incequalis, this is a longer and less 







convex insect

iforus, Wollaston 



* 













Wollaston referred two species to Calyciforus, both from Brazil, one of which enters 

 within our limits. He was in some doubt as to whether his C. erosus was not the 

 female of C. eoccavatus, but this is not likely to be the case. The Mexican and 

 Guatemalan form now added approaches C. erosus, but it has the elytral sulci differently 

 sculptured. The antennae in this genus have a closely articulated, 7-jointed funiculus, 

 and a broad* strongly transverse, truncated club.

2. Calyciforus inaequalis, sp. n. (Tab. III. fig. 35.) 



Elongate, cylindrical, convex, moderately shining, black, the antennae, tibial claws, and tarsi testaceous, 

 clothed with a few minute, scattered hairs. Head and rostrum closely, finely punctate, the head 

 shallowly foveate between the eyes. Prothorax very coarsely, closely punctate, sometimes with a 

 smooth abbreviated median line, the base with or without a shallow depression in the middle. Elytra 

 deeply sulcate, the sulci more or less distinctly crenate-punctate, the interstices raised, convex, each with 

 a row of asperate punctures, the humeri in some specimens ( <J?) angulate in front.

Four specimens, varying considerably in the sculpture of the elytra, those with 

 gular humeri assumed (as in the genus Tomolips) to be males. Wollaston describes 

 e elytral sulci as transversely strigose in the two species named by him, whereas in 

 e present insect the sulci are distinctly creDate-punctate.
