OF WASHINGTON, VOLUME XV, 1913 193 



December 27, 1909, collected by E. A. Schwarz are probably the 

 same species. They are similar to cornutusl but are smaller, 

 lighter brown with much paler antenna, and the males are much 

 shorter than the females. 



Eutomus panamaensis n.sp. 



Very dark brown, legs reddish, antennae testaceus, sides parallel, body 

 less than twice as long as wide. Head and pronotum alutaccous, or finely 

 reticulate, the ridges shining, the intervals opaque except for a minute pol- 

 ished point in the center of each area; pronotum five-ninths as long as wide. 

 Elytra shining, strongly sulcate, the intervals becoming costae on each side 

 of which are faint rugosities, and very minute hairs, each pointing obliquely 

 towards the ridge. Length, 3 to 3.5 mm. 



Male. Clypeus with two obtuse horns which are separated by two- 

 sevenths of the interocular space. 



Female. Clypeus tumid, median third smooth, impunctate, front feebly 

 concave, with scattering very short hairs which are scarcely more dense 

 than those on the thorax. 



Type: No. 16841 U. S. N. M. 



About one hundred and thirty specimens from dry woody fungus 

 were taken at Alhajuela, Canal Zone, Panama, in April, 1911, by Mr. 

 August Busck, among a numerous colony of Arrhenoplita cioides. 



Differs from the Texan species (supposed to be peninsularis 

 Horn) and from the West Indian species (supposed to be cornutus 

 Arrow) by its shorter, more robust form, and shining elytra, and 

 by the almost total absence of the frontal pilosity of the female. 



Eutomus n. sp. 



Specimens of a fourth species of this genus have just been 

 donated to the National Museum by Mr. AY. S. Blatchley who 

 collected them at Dunedin, Florida, in January, 1913. Mr. Chas. 

 Dury informs the writer that he expects soon to publish the de- 

 scription of this species in Entomological News. It is much 

 smaller than the three species of this genus above mentioned, 

 being about the size of Rh. flabellicornis.
