what coarsely punctate, the last with a small foveate spot at each basal angle; corium more thickly and 
finely punctate; rostrum about reaching the penultimate segment of the abdomen. 
Long. 9 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 3000 feet (Champion). 
2. Priapismus maculatus, n. sp. (Tab. XXXI. fig. 3.) 
Ochraceous, much suffused and mottled with black punctures, which are generally situate in confluent patches ; 
pronotum with two black spots at lateral margins, one at posterior angle, the other near anterior angle ; 
antenne suffused with blackish, the bases of the fourth and fifth joints ochraceous; legs spotted with 
black ; connexivum alternately black and ochraceous. Head with the lateral lobes coarsely punctate and 
finely rugulose, pronotum and gcutellum sparingly but very coarsely punctate; corium somewhat more 
thickly and finely punctate ; antenne with the second joint about as long as or very slightly longer 
than the first, third and fourth joints longer and subequal in length, but shorter than the fifth. 
Long. 7-9 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 4500 to 6000 feet, Bugaba (Champion). 
In addition to the very different coloration, this species has the lateral margins of 
the pronotum rather more convex than in P. foveatus. ' 
BOTERUS, gen. nov. 
Head a little longer than broad; eyes moderately exserted, well separated from the anterior margin of the 
pronotum ; lateral margins notched, or obscurely and obtusely spined in front of the eyes; the lateral 
lobes reflexed at the margins and united together considerably in front of the central lobe; antennze with 
the first and second joints subequal in length. Pronotum about twice as “broad at the base as long; 
lateral margins straight or slightly sinuate, and moderately reflexed ; lateral angles rounded ; anterior 
angles subacute. Corium with the lateral margins ampliated and convex, the membrane well 
developed. Scutellum extending a little beyond the anterior angle of the corium, somewhat broad, 
narrowed towards the apex, which is angularly rounded. Rostrum almost reaching the apex of the 
abdomen. 
The length of the rostrum, the ampliated and convex margins of the corium, and 
the exserted eyes well separated from the anterior margin of the pronotum are the 
most distinguishing points of this genus. 
1. Boterus guatemalensis, n. sp. (Tab. XXX. fig. 17.) 
Dark ochraceous, shaded with piceous, coarsely and darkly punctate. Head almost piceous excepting at the 
lateral margins, antenne brownish-ochraceous; pronotum considerably shaded with piceous ; scutellum 
prominently piceous at the lateral margins and with two small-piceous spots on the apical margin; corium 
much suffused with piceous, excepting at the extreme lateral margin, the membrane pitchy. Body 
beneath piceous ; underside of the head, rostrum, and legs brownish-ochraceous or dull castaneous; legs 
spotted with piceous. Antenne with the first and second joints subequal in length ; third joint very 
slightly shorter than the fourth. Head somewhat thickly punctate, excepting at the lateral margins ; 
pronotum, ‘scutellum, and corium irregularly and coarsely punctate, the extreme lateral margins of the 
pronotum and the corium impunctate.
