ifaft. Mexico, Temax in North Yucatan (Gaumer) ; Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 

 2000 to 3000 feet {Champion). 



Front excavated, shining, impunctate, without a central furrow. Ocelli hardly 

 forming a triangle ; the posterior ocelli separated from each other by nearly the same 

 distance that they are from the eyes, — by nearly the length of the third antennal joint. 

 Vertex strongly punctured ; the orbits behind pitted with large round punctures ; 

 beyond this punctured space the head is impunctate ; a lance-shaped aciculate fovea 

 runs from near the hinder ocelli almost to the eyes ; clypeus broadly carinate in the 

 middle, the apex projecting. Head above sparsely pilose ; the clypeus densely covered 

 with a golden pile. Scape of the antennae yellow; the flagellum from its second joint 

 opaque, owing to a dense pile; the third joint about one quarter longer than the 

 fourth. Pronotum margined in front ; concave, the edges projecting, sharply trian- 

 gular. Pronotum coarsely rugosely punctured ; the base of the mesonotum less 

 coarsely and closely rugose, its apex with large, separated punctures ; mesopleurae 

 shining, pitted with large scattered punctures, except below the point of insertion of 

 the wings, this being also the case with the scutellum, the base of which is impunctate ; 

 metanotum more closely punctured ; median segment coarsely reticulated, the apex 

 with an oblique slope ; metapleurae excavated, and marked with oblique widely sepa- 

 rated striae. Basal segment of the abdomen with a few scattered punctures ; the 

 second and third segments depressed at the base, finely transversely striated, the middle 

 punctured, the apex finely transversely rugosely punctured ; the other segments bear 

 scattered punctures, and, at the apex, are finely transversely rugosely punctured. 

 Pygidial area shining, punctured ; the lateral tuft of hair thick, long, fulvous. Legs 

 sparsely haired ; the long spur of the hind tibiae not reaching to the middle of the 

 metatarsus, curved, and not twice the length of the second joint, which is hardly the 

 length of the third and fourth joints united, the latter subequal. The anterior 

 femora on the outer side are shining, impunctate, flat, the sides distinctly margined 

 and furrowed, the furrows uniting at the base in a rounded angle ; the anterior tibiae 

 are also margined down the sides ; the hind femora are punctured in front. The 

 transverse cubital nervure is received slightly before the middle of the radial cellule. 



The male has the edges of the collar marked with yellow ; the outer orbits of the 

 eyes bearing a golden pubescence ; and the antennae thicker, simple, with the third and 

 fourth joints subequal.
