Of this species, the only known member of the genus, two female specimens were 
obtained by myself in Chiriqui. The term “levis” is misleading in the description, 
and applies only to the scattered glabrous portions of the very uneven surface, which 
is in great part covered by short, matted, decumbent, rusty-brown hairs, as well as by 
fine scattered erect hairs (which extend to all the joints of the antenna, as well as to 
the legs), these latter not being mentioned by Stal. The type has been communicated 
by Dr. Aurivillius. 
LOBOCARA. 
Lobocara, Bergroth, Rev. d’Ent. xi. p. 259 (1892). 
Two species are referred to this genus by Dr. Bergroth, L. oblonga from the Argentine 
Republic and Z. ovata from Mexico. The latter is widely distributed in Central 
America, extending southwards to Nicaragua. 
1. Lobocara ovata. (Tab. VI. fig. 22, 9.) 
Lobocara ovata, Bergr. Rev. d’Ent. xi. p. 260 (¢)’. 
Hab. Muxico, Vera Cruz (Mus. Holm.1); British Honpvuras, R. Sarstoon (Blanca- 
neauz); GUATEMALA, Panzos, Cahabon, El Tumbador, Zapote (Champion); Nigaracua, 
Chontales (Janson). 
Of this species we have obtained four males and four females. Dr. Bergroth’s type 
has been seen. <A specimen from Panzos is figured.

Dusius, Bergroth, Ent. Tidskr. xv. p. 104 (1894). 
Of the forty-eight species of this widely distributed genus enumerated by Lethierry 
and Severin, fourteen are American, two only being from within our limits. Brachyr- 
rhynchus, however, proves to be well represented in Central America, nineteen species 
being known to me, fourteen of which are described as new. They have the pronotum 
(except in B. abdominalis) very feebly emarginate at the base, the third antennal joint
