sculpture, the disc slightly stained with fuseous; elytra wider at the. base than the thorax, very elongate 
and subdepressed, the punctures very fine, the surface depressed below the base, pubescent like the thorax, 
- fulvous, with an obscure fuscous sutural stripe, which is gradually narrowed towards the apex ; underside

Two specimens. 
15. Physimerus flavo-pilosus. 
Fulvous, opaque, clothed with golden-yellow pubescence ; antenne piceous, long and robust ;_ thorax subquad- 
rate, granulate and pubescent ; elytra very finely punctured, with an obscure spot below the middle. 
Length 2 lines, 
Head broad, extremely finely punctured on the vertex, the eyes large, the frontal elevations not strongly raised, 
divided by a distinct longitudinal groove, the clypeus in the form of a transverse ridge, the lower portion 
of the face glabrous, shining; the palpi with the penultimate joint slightly thickened; antenne robust, 
extending to two thirds the length of the body, piceous, shining, furnished with scattered hairs, the third, 
fourth, and fifth joints elongate, slightly curved at the base, and of nearly equal length, the terminal 
joints shorter; thorax scarcely broader than long, the sides straight, the anterior angles with a small 
tubercle, the middle of the disc obsoletely transversely depressed, the sides clothed with very short silky 
golden-yellow pubescence, the dise finely granulate, partly denuded of hairs, fulvous; elytra with a. 
slight depression below the base, very finely punctate-striate, the punctures for the most part obscured by 
the silky golden pubescence, which is more distinct below the middle, a small brownish spot is placed at 
some distance from the apex near the sides ; posterior tibie obsoletely dentate externally, the apex with 
a robust spur. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
- The robust and shining antenne and the golden pubescence of the upper surface in 
connection with the size will help to distinguish this species. :

11. Omotyphus suturalis. (lab. XLII. fig. 3.) 
Black, sparingly pubescent, the fifth and sixth joints of the .antenne and the base of the tibie flavous ; head 
and thorax strongly rugose-punctate, the thorax with two small elevations; elytra with a deep depression 
near the middle, strongly punctate-striate, the suture narrowly fulvous-pubescent. 
Length 13 line. 
Of elongate, robust shape, convex, black; the head broad, deeply and strongly rugose, without frontal tubercles 
or carina, the palpi slightly incrassate; the antenne short, only extending to the base of the elytra, the 
terminal joints widened, joints 1-4 piceous, 5 and 6 flavous, 7-10 black, and 11 obscure fulvous, 7-10 
transversely shaped ; thorax but slightly broader than long, with all the margins straight, a small tubercle 
on each side near the apex, the surface sculptured like the head, sparingly clothed with blackish hairs ; 
scutellum clothed with golden-yellow pubescence ; elytra much wider at the base than the thorax, with a 
deep oblique depression extending from the shoulder to near the middle, where it is more plainly marked, 
the punctures comparatively large and deep, the surface rather shining, pubescent like the thorax, the 
pubescence at the suture forming a narrow fulvous margin; legs piceous, the base of the tibiew and the 
tarsi paler, the posterior femora clothed with yellowish pubescence near the apex.
