462 BRUCHIDES. 
pennis, though with numerous points of distinction, and, like that species, has the four 
apical ventral rings considerably shorter than they are in B. canus, Germ. 
49, Bruchus ophthalmicus. 
Testaceo-ferrugineus, supra dense ochraceo-vestitus, fusco-maculatus, subtus tenuiter griseo-vestitus, prosterno 
mesosternoque nigricantibus; antennis pedibusque pallide testaceis, illis elongatis, intus serratis; oculis 
magnis, fere contiguis ; femoribus posterioribus dente minore denticulisque duobus instructis. 
Long. 23 millim. (capite deflexo). 
Hab. GuaTEMALA, near the city, Aceituno, San Gerénimo (Champion). 
Antenne very pallid ; second joint small, the third elongate, the terminal joints rather. 
longer than broad. Eyes very large, with facets of moderate size, separated on the vertex 
only by the longitudinal carina. Thorax narrow in front, with acute hind angles, 
densely pubescent, scarcely variegate. Elytra very finely striate; densely clothed, the pale 
clothing more or less distinctly interrupted by fuscous marks, the largest and darkest 
of which are at the suture, behind the scutellum, and close to the extremity. The 
posterior femora are much dilated, and armed with a single small tooth, behind which 
are one or two extremely minute tubercles; the short, stout tibie are a good deal curved 
at the base and at the apex, they have no apical spur, but the acute angle is very 
slightly prolonged. 
Although the pygidium is not so elongate or vertical as in most other of the 
Pachymeri, this species might be placed in Stirps IL of Schénherr’s Grex II. One 
example was obtained at San Gerdénimo, and a second near the city of Guatemala; 
these I have no doubt are both males, and are described above. The specimen found at 
Aceituno is, I feel certain, the female of B. ophthalmicus, though it has the eyes very 
much smaller and more distant, and the antennz less developed, being more slender 
and much shorter. 
50. Bruchus debilicornis. 
Ferrugineus, supra dense ochraceo-vestitus; elytris fusco albidoque variegatis, antennis pedibusque pallide 
testaceis; subtus tenuiter griseo-vestitus, prosterno pectoreque nigricantibus ; antennis elongatis, graci- 
libus, intus subserratis; oculis magnis, parum distantibus; femoribus posterioribus dente minore denti- 
culisque duobus armatis. 
Long. 2 millim. 
Hab. Guatemata, Capetillo (Champion). 
This is closely allied to B. ophthalmicus, but, compared with the male of that 
species, is smaller, has the antennz more slender, the eyes not quite so approximate, 
the maculation of the upper surface greater; the tubercles at the extremity of the hind 
femur are also more prominent so as to form two minute teeth. Only one example has. 
been found; I have no doubt it is a male.
