Two specimens, from the Pacific coast-region. Easily distinguishable from all its 
allies by the immaculate elytra, and the narrow, elongate head, with unusually small

This genus includes about sixty known species, all of which inhabit South America *, 
four only of these entering within our limits, whence one is now added. Stal groups 
the species under five divisions (using subgeneric names for four of them), two of which 
are not represented in Central America. Our five species may be separated thus :— 
a. Juge not raised; anterior and intermediate femora not strongly 
incrassate. 
a’, Pronotum with two long erect spines on the disc of the anterior lobe 
and a long spine at the hind angles; the scutellum with a long 
erect spine. 
a", Anterior lobe of the pronotum with a small tubercle on each 
side; anterior and intermediate femora unarmed . . . . . spinidorsis, Gray. 
6". Anterior lobe of the pronotum unarmed at the sides; anterior 
and intermediate femora with a few very short spines . . . . formosus, Stal. 
b'. Pronotum with two erect spines on the disc and a short spine at the 
sides of the anterior lobe, and the hind angles acutely dilated; the 
scutellum with a semi-erect spine; anterior and intermediate 
femoraunarmed . . . . . . . ee ee ee ee ee) <Eembatus, Lep. et Serv.
