BRUCHUS. 445 
versus latera, submaculatis; antennis brevibus, latis, nigris, basi pedibusque anterioribus rufis; metasterno 
anterius fere plano; femoribus posterioribus dente sat elongato, tribusque minoribus a dente elongato bene 
separatis, instructis. 
Long. 22 millim. (capite deflexo). 
Hab. Guaremata, Zapote, San Gerdénimo (Champion); Panama, Bugaba, Volcan de 
Chiriqui (Champion). 
Antenne short and broad; joints 6-11 each broader than long, dark in colour, the 
terminal joint not paler. Thorax very narrow in front, with concavely arcuate sides 
and acute hind angles, at the base with a depression on each side of the scutellar lobe. 
Elytra feebly striate, densely covered with pubescence, which is principally pallid, but 
is broken up at the sides by rather indefinite darker spots. Pygidium narrow, very 
elongate, clothed with pale pubescence, and indistinctly striped with still paler pubes- 
cence. Legs much clothed with pubescence ; spur of the posterior tibia short and stout. 
Though bearing a considerable resemblance to B. calderensis this species is really 
very distinct by the short apical tibial spur and the different position of the minor teeth 
of the femur. 
Only one example was found at each of the localities mentioned. 
12. Bruchus incensus. (Tab. XXVI. fig. 4.) 
Convexus, niger, supra griseo albidoque minus variegatus; subtus pallide vestitus, pygidio dense griseo-vestito, 
antennis basi et articulo ultimo, tibiis tarsisque anterioribus rufescentibus; antennis brevibus, crassis ; 
elytris subinzqualibus ; femoribus posterioribus dente elongato quatuorque denticulis instructis. 
Long. 3} millim. (capite deflexo). 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui, Bugaba ( Champion). 
Although very dissimilar in colour to B. confinis this species is closely allied thereto, 
but has the femora rather differently armed and the surface of the thorax and elytra 
less even. The thorax is distinctly elevated along the middle, and has a callosity on 
either side, near which a few coarser punctures may be distinguished, though much 
concealed by the vestiture; the scutellum is clothed with pale pile, and there is a 
minute spot of similar colour on the base of the thorax in front of this; the coloration 
of the thorax is chiefly dark, but there are on it several irregular paler marks. The 
prevalent colour of the elytra is dark, but they are obscurely lineate on the alternate 
interstices with fuscous colour; this is distinct near the suture, but elsewhere indistinct, 
and there are also small indefinite flecks of white colour; there is a slight callosity . 
between the shoulder and the scutellum, and the surface is also rendered uneven by 
some obscure depressions; the pygidium is densely clothed with pallid pubescence, 
which is subvariegate. The hind legs are dark, the femora variegate with pubescence ; 
the four smaller denticles of the femora all distinct from the longer tooth; the apical 
spur of the tibice rather short. | 
Six examples were met with; five of these were found on the Volcan de Chiriqui, 
only one or two specimens at a time.
