punctuation of the latter. The example from Playa Vicente is very small, viz. five 

 millimetres ; but can hardly be distinct from those from Cordova in Salle's collection, 

 which are almost six millimetres in length. 



13. Stenotarsus oblongulus. (Tab. VIII. fig. 7.) 



Oblongo-ovatus, densius fulvo-pubescens, sublaevis, nitidus, rufus ; antennis (articulis duobus basalibus exceptis) 

 nigris ; prothoraeis macula discoidali, elytrorumque plagia, nigris. Long. 5 millim. 



Hab. Guatemala, Capetillo (Champion). 



Very close to S. militaris, but distinct from it by the antennae -having the two basal 

 joints alone red, and the elytra scarcely punctured, the latter also a little less parallel 

 at the sides, and having the apex less acuminate, being, in fact, evenly rounded there. 

 These distinctions, though minute, are sufficient in this difficult genus to indicate 

 a separate species. The metasternum and the middle of the basal segment of the 

 abdomen are pitchy-black. 



One specimen. 



14. Stenotarsus angustulus. (Tab. VII. fig. 23.) 



Stenatarsus angustulus, Gerst. Monogr. Endom. p. 327 x ; Grorh. Endom. Recit. p. 26. 



Hab. Mexico, Jalapa (Edge), Juquila (Salle) ; Guatemala (Salving Capetillo, San 

 Geronimo (Champion). — South Ameeica, Rio Janeiro 1 . 



If I am right in referring the Central-American specimens to the species described 

 by Gerstacker, the range is extraordinary, and I have seen no examples from intermediate 

 localities. The elongate-oval form, scarcely margined thorax, and (with the exception 

 of the long antenna?, of which five or six apical joints are black) the uniform ferruginous 

 colour render this an easy species to recognize. The intermediate and hinder tibiae are 

 slightly bent (in the male?). 



Many examples ; we figure one from Jalapa. 



15. Stenotarsus panamanus. (Tab. VIII. fig. 8.) 



Oblongo-quadratus, parum ovatus, sanguineo-rafus ; antennarum clava elytrisque nigris, his margine laterali 

 tenuiter, humeris apiceque latius, runs, pube brevi cnpreo vestitis. Long. 6 millim. 



Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 



Head, thorax, and antennae (excepting the club), and the whole body beneath, clear 

 deep blood-red ; front of the head subrostrate, being contracted in front of the insertion 

 of the antennae. Thorax twice as wide as long, with the lateral margins flattened and 

 raised, narrowing towards the base ; basal sulci deeply impressed but short. Scutellum 

 red. Elytra oblong, with the humeral callus strongly raised, the disc thickly and 

 confluently, the sides more deeply, punctured; the sides are nearly straight, but
