species from Cuba, I disregarded it in referring the Chontales specimens to 8. scobinatus, 
in which there is no trace of humeral spine. A spine, or rather a small dentiform 
prominence, formed by the prolongation of the humeral angle of epipleural fold, does, 
however, exist in some examples, as I now find on examination of the additional material 
arrived since the early parts of the present volume were published. The minute denti- 
form process exists in a male example labelled “Guatemala” in the Sallé collection, 
and in another taken in British Honduras by Blancaneaux. As, however, no other 
difference of importance exists between these and Chontales examples, and the humeral 
projection is much less prominent in one of the two examples examined, I hesitate to 
consider them as separate species; the different forms of 8. scobinatus must at present 
be classed as varieties as follows :— 
S. scobinatus, forma typica. Elongato-subcylindricus, testaceo-rufus vel cinnamomeus, supra subtilissime et 
parum dense cinereo-argenteo-pubescens ; elytrorum humeris tuberculo parvo armatis. 
Hab. Mexico (ex coll. Sallé, sec. Chevrolat); Brrrisa Honpuras, River Sarstoon 
(Blancaneauz); Guaremata (Sallé). 
Var. S. belti, Elytrorum humeri omnino obtusi. 
Hab. Nicaracua, Chontales (Belt, Janson).—? Wust Inpius, Cuba (Chevrolat). 
The following, from the different colour and greater density of its pubescence and 
other minor characters, seems to merit specific rank :— 
1(a). Strongylaspis championi. 
Elongato-subcylindricus, cinnamoneus, pube subaureo-flavo dense vestitus; thoracis disco depresso vel concavo 
ineequali, lateribus multo subtilius denticulatis; antennarum ¢ articulo 3° breviori et rectiori, quam art. 
°_5™ conjunctis breviori; elytris prope scutellum solum asperato-granulatis ibique ¢ 2 plagis brunneis 
nudis, humeris obtusis.

Hab. Guatemaa, Cerro Zunil (Champion). 
In large male individuals of S. scobinatus the third antennal joint is slightly thickened 
and curved, and considerably (about one fifth) longer than joints 4-5 taken together. 
In equally well-developed individuals of S. championt the same joint is straight and 
about one fifth shorter than 4-5 taken together. 
8. Strongylaspis graniger. 
Subcylindricus, rufescenti-fuscus ; capite grosse confluenter punctato; thorace magis quadrato (antice minus 
angustato), dorso inequali callis duobus nitidis, hic illic ruguloso et passim discrete nitide granulato ; 
elytris passim sequaliter discrete et sat eleganter granulatis, nudis ; antennis art. 1°-3" grossissime scabrosis, 
3° recto quam 4™-5™ conjuncti breviori.
