One example. Closely related to the Nicaraguan C. tuberculifer, but with still 



conspicuously granulate, 

 and the interspaces between them uniformly ochreo-squamose, and the prosternum

19 (a). CholuS albovittatus, sp. n. (Tab. VIII. figg. 29, 29 a, <3 .) 



d . Subcuneiform, rather convex, black ; the prothorax with three, and the elytra each with two, vittse on 

 the disc (the central one on the prothorax narrow, the others broad), and both with a continuous stripe 

 alon°- the flanks beneath, densely clothed with broad, imbricate, brownish-white scales, the rest of the 

 depressed portion of the upper surface set with very small brownish-ochreous scales, the head with 

 a curved whitish stripe on each side between the eyes, the under surface with dense patches of broad 

 brownish-white scales, the scales on the abdomen intermixed with pallid hairs, like those on the legs. 

 Head densely punctate ; rostrum moderately stout, curved, slightly longer than the head and prothorax, 

 widened at the tip, the basal portion densely punctate and finely carinate, the apical portion more 

 sparsely punctured. Prothorax transverse, deeply bisinuate at the base, rounded at the sides, rapidly 

 narrowing from about the basal third ; strongly granulate, the interspaces densely, finely punctate, the 

 spaces covered by the vittse depressed. Scutellum large, rugosely punctate. Elytra moderately long, a 

 little wider than the prothorax, obliquely narrowing from the rounded humeri; seriate-punctate, the 

 alternate interstices raised and each with a row of closely-placed, smooth granules, the first (sutural) 



a few smaller scattered granules. Beneath coarsely punctate, granulate along the 

 sides" Ventral segments 1 and 2 broadly sulcate down the middle. Tibiae with a sharp claw at the 

 inner and outer apical angles.

V 



One specimen. Narrower and more convex than C. circumnotatus, the prothorax 

 with three, and the elytra each with two, sharply-defined whitish vittse on the disc, and 

 both with a whitish continuous stripe along the flanks beneath, the intervening spaces 



the upper surface strongly granulate. The sculpture of the vittate portions of the 



face is completely hidden by the dense imbricate scales.

Cholus morio (p. 300). 



M. Desbrochers des Loges [Ann. Soc. Ent. Belg. 1. p. 356 (1906)] refers this species 

 to Homalonotus (Schonh.), Lacord., but on what grounds I know not. Some time 

 ao-o he communicated a specimen of it from Venezuela for comparison with the type, 

 supposed to be of Mexican origin, but the latter is perhaps wrongly labelled as
