TRICHOPHORUS. 
Six or seven species of Trichophorus are known, ranging from the banks of the La 
Plata to Honduras. | 
1. Trichophorus decipiens. 
Elaphidio irrorato angustior et magis elongatus. Castaneus, nitidus, passim setosus tomentoque albo-cinereo 
maculatim vestitus; thorace oblongo, dorso callis elevatis politis, interstitiis punctulatis, tomento cinereo 
vittas laterales formante ; elytris coriaceis et passim punctulatis, apice fere integris, juxta suturam leviter 
emarginatis. 
Long. 94 lin. 
Hab. Honpvras, river Sarstoon (Blancaneau). 
Resembles Elaphidion irroratum, and is liable to be mistaken for that species, from 
which it is readily distinguishable by the absence of spines at the apex of the elytra. 
The ashy-white patches of tomentum are also differently arranged, being scattered 
irregularly over the elytra (mostly on the sides), instead of being concentrated in large 
patches. The thorax has polished elevations on the sides as well as on the disk, the 
depressed interstices being minutely (instead of coarsely) punctured. A distinguishing 
character is the small size of the spines at the apex of the third to the fifth antennal 
joints. The nearly rounded apices of the elytra, the facies, and faintly impressed tibial 
carine are features which separate this species from all other known Trichophori. It 
seems, in fact, to connect Trichophorus with Hypermallus, and thus bridge over the: 
differences between two of Lacordaire’s groupes, viz. Phoracanthides and Sphérionides. 
2. Trichophorus albisparsus. (Tab. IV. fig. 16.) 
Trichophorus albisparsus, Bates, Trans. Ent. Soc. 1872, p. 175. 
Hab. Nicaracua, Chontales (Belt).
