HYPSELONOTUS. 151 
the pronotum are absent, or only obsoletely indicated ; the apical joint of the antenne 
in some specimens is almost completely fulvous; and in others the apex of the apical 
joint of the rostrum is alone black. The most distinctive and constant character is 
the series of black spots to the body beneath ; and even these are sometimes somewhat 
indistinct. 
2. Hypselonotus intermedius, n. sp. 
Head luteous, with two short fuscous streaks in front of ocelli, and a spot of the same colour behind 
eyes. Antenne fuscous, lower margin of basal joint and bases of second and third joints luteous; 
second joint much the longest; first, third, and fourth joints subequal in length. Pronotum with the 
lateral margins narrowly fuscous, the base with a broad margin of brown punctures, and with a central 
obscure longitudinal levigate impression. Scutellum brown, lateral margins and a central longitudinal 
line luteous, the brown portion punctate. Corium brown; nervures, claval margin, and a transverse 
fascia a little before apex luteous. Abdomen above testaceous; basal angles, a large spot on each side of 
fourth and fifth segments, apex, and anal appendage black. Connexivum testaceous, with a series of sub- 
quadrate black spots. Underside of body and legs pale greenish or luteous, a rounded spot on coxe, a 
transverse streak on disk and near apical margin of third, fourth, and fifth segments, and annulations to 
femora and tibie black. Rostrum reaching posterior coxe, black, with the basal joint luteous. 
Long. 13-14 millim. 
Hab. GUATEMALA, San Gerénimo (Champion). 
H. intermedius differs from H. punctiventris by the different-coloured rostrum, 
different black markings beneath, and is intermediate between that species and 
H. lineatus. It appears to be peculiar to Guatemala, and has only been sent from 
San Gerénimo. Two forms have been received—one as described, and the other with 
brownish markings darker in hue, and the transverse fuscous streaks on the underside 
of the abdomen also larger and darker. These differences are not sexual; nor can they 
be seasonal varieties, as they were collected by Mr. Champion at the same time.

Hab. Mexico !? (coll. Sallé), Valladolid, Yucatan (Gawmer); Brivis HonDuras, river 
Sarstoon (Blancaneauz). 
A Mexican specimen is here figured, in which a transverse fascia to the corium is 
faintly indicated. In some specimens, as recorded by Stal, this fascia is very distinct.
