scattered punctures. Pygidium conical, sparsely punctate, pilose at the tip. Ventral excavation long 

 and deep. Femora sparsely fringed with long hairs beneath. Intermediate tibiae sinuate within. 



Length 12§, breadth 4| millim. 



Bab. Guatemala, San Juan in Alta Vera Paz (Champion). 



One male. An elongate form, with an unusually long, subcorneal, excavate pro- 



■ 



thorax, and a very short, feebly curved rostrum (as in B. brevirostris), the punctures of 

 the upper surface each surrounded by a small cinereous dot, much as in B. adspersus.

25. Bhodobaenus arcuatus, sp. n. (Tab. VI. figg. 26, 26 a, 6 .) 



Elongate, subfusiform, narrow, opaque above, black, rufo-variegate, the rufous markings on the prothorax 

 condensed into two vittsB on the disc, and those on the elytra into a short longitudinal stripe on the disc 

 at the base and a common, arcuate, suturally-interrupted fascia on the median third (partly enclosing a 

 common, large, heart-shaped, black patch, which extends along the suture to the base) ; the punctures 

 each surrounded by a minute whitish dot, the dots on the elytra indistinct upon the dark portions 

 of the surface ; the legs in great part rufous. Rostrum as long as the prothorax, abruptly deflexed 

 and arcuate from the broad, closely-punctate basal portion, the apical portion compressed, almost 

 smooth from near the base, in the $ a little longer, more slender, and with a compressed promi- 

 nence at the tip beneath. Antennal scape nearly twice as long as the funiculus in the $ . Prothorax 

 longer than broad, obliquely narrowed anteriorly, the sides parallel behind, the base bisinuate ; some- 

 what closely, finely punctate, except down the middle, the disc with a transverse arcuate depression 

 towards the base. Scutellum elongate-triangular, narrow. Elytra oblong, a little wider than the pro- 

 thorax, very finely punctate-striate, the interstices each with a row of widely scattered minute punctures. 

 Pygidium long, conical. Beneath very sparsely punctured ; ventral excavation of the <5 long and deep, 

 extending far forwards along the metasternum, the first segment with a compressed tubercle in the 

 middle in front. Femora ciliate beneath. 



Length 8|-9|, breadth 2|-3 millim. (<? $ .)

Bab. Mexico, Toxpam in Vera Cruz (Salle : 6 ) ; Nicaragua, Chontales (Belt 



s). 



Two males and one female. An elongate, narrow form, obscure ferruginous macu- 

 lated with black, and with the minute whitish dots mostly placed on the reddish 

 portions of the surface ; the prothorax considerably longer than broad, and with a 

 transverse arcuate depression towards the base ; the pygidium long and prominent ; 



* 



the ventral tubercle of the male conspicuous, B. arcuatus has much the facies of 

 Homalostylus dentirostris. 



26. Khodobsenus andrese 



(Tab. VI. figg. 27, 27 



Rhodobmius andrece, Chevr. Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1885, p. 279 \ 



$ • Elongate, somewhat fusiform, opaque above, black variegated with ferruginous ; the prothorax ferruginous 

 with a narrow black stripe down the middle and another along the sides, the elytra ferruginous, each 

 with an oblique blackish median fascia on the disc and a fainter one midway between this and the apex 

 (neither reaching the suture, and both sometimes almost obsolete) ; the rather closely-placed punctures 

 each surrounded by a rounded yellowish-white spot, those along the elytral interstices somewhat regularly 

 arranged, and the numerous fine punctures of the striae each indicated by a smaller oval spot. Rostrum 

 with the basal portion short, abruptly widened, and narrowly sulcate, the apical portion long, somewhat 

 compressed, almost smooth, and armed with a small dentiform prominence at the tip of the peduncle
