BRUCHUS. 487 
Hab. Nortu America, California! 2, Arizona (Morrison).—MeExico, Northern Sonora 
(Morrison), Guanajuato (Sallé); Guatemaua, near the city, San Gerdénimo, Zapote,

Panama, David (Champion). 
Although the trivial name proposed by Boheman has priority, it cannot be used on 
account of the previous B. ramicornis, Er. 
The species is very variable in the colour of the surface. It appears to occur only 
sparingly south of Mexico, and I have some doubts whether the Guatemalan exponents 
may not belong to a distinct species, as the two males found in that country have the 
processes given off from the fourth and fifth joints of the antenne longer than they are in 
northern examples. In the State of Panama only one individual was met with. A 
figure of a male, found at Cerro Zunil, is given.

This is a very doubtful identification. Both Fabricius and Gyllenhal give South 
America as the habitat, but the Munich Catalogue mentions Mexico only, and this 
may be amere error. The descriptions are very insufficient, and I may therefore state 
that I have determined as possibly this species a single minute Bruchus of the 
female sex, similar to B. impiger, but not half the size of the smallest example of that 
species. 
108. Bruchus cubicus. 
Kytorhinus cubicus, Motsch. Bull. Mose. 1878, ii. p. 206°. 
Hab. Mexico 1.—Brazit }. 
From the description one may suppose this to be a species allied to B. impiger, 
possibly indeed a variety thereof. 
109. Bruchus compactus. (Tab. XXVI. fig. 18.) 
Rufo-fuscus ; elytris seepe rufescentibus, plus minusve vage albido variegatis ; pygidio corporeque subtus pube 
pallide ochraceo-albida vestitis ; antennis pedibusque testaceis, fusco variegatis ; femoribus posterioribus 
fusco-rufis ; capite pone oculos utrinque dentato. 
Long. 37 millim. 
Hab. Guatemata, San Gerénimo (Champion). 
This is an insect of very deep form, distinguished readily amongst its allies by the 
very evident denticulation of the head behind the eyes, these latter having a large
