140 ENDOMYCHIDJE. 



18. Stenotarsus sallaei. 



Stenotarsus Sallei, Gorh. Endom. Recit. p. 25 l , App. p. 62. 



" Ovalis, ferruginous, nitidus, pube cupreo-micante vestitus, thorace antice angustato, margine laterali 

 deplanato, sulcis basalibus brevioribus fortius impressis, antennarum articulis sex ultimis nigro-fuscis." 

 Long. 4-4| millim. 



Hal. Mexico, Cordova, Toxpam (Salle); Guatemala, Tactic, Sinanja, and Sabo in 

 Vera Paz (Champion). 



Oblong-ovate, of a uniform rusty-red colour (with the exception of the last six joints 

 of the antennae), rather thickly clothed with a short, soft, golden pubescence. The 

 antennae are about three-quarters the length of the body, with the third to the sixth 

 joints clearly elongate; the club is not heavy, but is long and laxly jointed. The 

 thorax is nearly smooth, and the puncturing of the elytra is close and fine. This is 

 one of several species in Salle's collection named and labelled by Guerin, but unde- 

 scribed : S. antennatus, Guer., so named, does not differ, so far as I can see, from this 

 species. S. sallcei was originally referred by me in error to Colombia 1 . 



19. Stenotarsus adumbratus. 



Stenotarsus adumbratus, G-orh. Endom. Recit., App. p. 63 \ 



Oblongo-ovalis, rufo-brunneus, nitidus; anteunis breviuscujis, articulis quatuor ultimis nigris; prothoracis 

 disco elytrisque indistincte infuscatis, fere laevibus. Long. 3| millim. 



Hah. Guatemala, Tactic in Vera Paz (Champion). — Colombia, Sante Fe 1 . 



Smaller and less oblong than S. sallwi. The antennae are shorter than in that 

 species ; joints 3-6 very little longer than wide, 7 and 8 bead-shaped, the latter trans- 

 verse ; the club has its first two joints at their apex rather wider than long. The 

 thorax is transverse, not visibly punctate, the flat side-margin not narrowed behind nor 

 much raised, the basal sulci short but deep. The elytra are very smooth, with only a 

 few deep punctures about the shoulders and sides ; the breast is slightly infuscate. The 

 pubescence is short, rufous. 



20. Stenotarsus smithi. (Tab. viu. fig. 9.) 



Breviter ovatus, elytris subcordatis, castaneo-rufus ; antennis articulis quinque ultimis nigris ; prothoracis disco 

 infuscato, margine lato, postice vix angustato ; elytris disperse haud profunde punctatis, breviter aureo- 

 pilosis. Long. 2| millim. 



Hal. Mexico, Teapa in Tabasco (H. H. Smith). 



Antennae about half as long as the body, with the first six joints clear red, and longer 

 than wide, the seventh blackish, the remainder black, the first two club-joints not 

 longer than wide. Thorax with the wide lateral margins well marked ; the basal sulci 

 deep and wide at the base ; the sides not much curved (the anterior angles in conse- 

 quence rather prominent), narrowing, however, towards the front ; the disc is darker,
