varies considerably in size; and the scutellum is clothed with white hairs (not smooth 
as in J. pilatei). Lacordaire describes the second to the fifth joints of the antenne 
as fulvous; in all the specimens I have examined the second and third joints only are 
of that colour. : 
5. Huryscopa nigritarsis. (Tab. XXXVII. fig. 1.) 
Broadly subcylindrical, black; legs fulvous, the tarsi black; thorax sparingly punctured on the disc ; elytra 
distinctly punctured anteriorly, very finely so below the middle, the anterior third and a round spot near 
the apex fulvous. 
Length 23 lines.

E. nigritarsis, of which a single female specimen only is before me, seems closely 
allied to F. carnifer and LF. specularis, Lac., without agreeing sufficiently to identify it 
with either of these species. The thorax in the Panama insect is at least twice as 
broad as long, finely and closely punctured and pubescent at the sides, nearly smooth 
and impunctate at the middle of the disc. The scutellum is much broader than long, 
and closely punctured. The elytra, which are scarcely, if at all, narrowed posteriorly, 
are distinctly, but not very strongly, punctured anteriorly and very finely so from the 
middle downwards; the basal third is occupied by a perfectly regular fulvous band of 
even width, which extends to the lateral and sutural margins and includes the humeral 
callus; and there is an oval spot close to the apex of each. 
E. nigritarsis differs, therefore, from 2. carnifex by the broad thorax and the black 
tarsi; and from F. specularis by the smaller eyes, the differently punctured red thorax, 
and the fulvous band of the elytra occupying the entire base. ‘The antenne are short, 
and their second and third joints are fulvous; the prosternum is rather broad and of 
even width. 
6. Kuryscopa mexicana. (Tab. XXXVII. fig. 2.) 
Broadly ovate, subcylindrical, black ; head and thorax finely pubescent and closely punctured ; elytra deeply 
punctate-striate, with a broad transverse fulvous band at the base, the band not quite extending to the 
suture nor to the humeral callus. 
Length 4 lines. 
Head longer than broad, much flattened between the eyes, finely punctured and closely pubescent, the disc 
piceous ; labrum fulvous; antenne not quite extending to the base of the thorax, black, the third joint 
fulvous ; thorax slightly broader than long, the sides strongly narrowed anteriorly and very much deflexed, 
the median lobe perfectly straight, the surface very closely and rather finely punctured, clothed at the sides 
with long whitish pubescence, the disc very sparsely covered ; scutellum pubescent and punctured ; elytra 
broad at the base, gradually and slightly narrowed posteriorly, the punctuation very deep anteriorly and 
fine towards the apex, the fulvous basal band occupying rather more than the anterior third and not quite 
extending to either the basal or sutural margins, the humeral callus remaining of the black ground-colour 
and in the shape of a small spot; underside and legs thickly pubescent, black, the tibis obscure fulvous, 
the last abdominal segment with a deep fovea.
