  Remarhs. 
  — 
  Described 
  from 
  four 
  specimens 
  (1 
  type). 
  The 
  type 
  and 
  

   two 
  paratypes 
  collected 
  at 
  the 
  type 
  locality, 
  May 
  14-17, 
  1907, 
  by 
  August 
  

   Busck, 
  and 
  one 
  paratype 
  taken 
  from 
  an 
  arc-light 
  globe 
  at 
  Ancon, 
  

   Canal 
  Zone, 
  during 
  April 
  1911. 
  Under 
  this 
  species 
  is 
  also 
  included 
  a 
  

   specimen 
  collected 
  at 
  General 
  Ballivian, 
  Salta 
  Province, 
  Argentina, 
  

   during 
  1927-28, 
  by 
  G. 
  L. 
  Harrington. 
  This 
  specimen 
  differs 
  from 
  the 
  

   type 
  only 
  in 
  having 
  the 
  supplementary 
  carina 
  on 
  the 
  prosternum 
  

   vaguely 
  indicated 
  posteriorly 
  and 
  joined 
  to 
  the 
  lateral 
  carina 
  near 
  the 
  

   base. 
  

  

  This 
  species 
  is 
  allied 
  to 
  Farsus 
  oblitus 
  Horn 
  but 
  differs 
  from 
  that 
  

   species 
  in 
  being 
  more 
  robust, 
  more 
  convex, 
  and 
  scarcely 
  narrowed 
  

   posteriorly 
  and 
  in 
  having 
  the 
  antenna 
  shorter, 
  with 
  the 
  segment 
  2 
  as 
  

   long 
  as 
  segment 
  4, 
  and 
  the 
  following 
  segments 
  wider 
  than 
  long, 
  the 
  

   pronotum 
  coarsely 
  ocellate-punctate 
  at 
  the 
  middle, 
  the 
  sides 
  of 
  the 
  

   elytra 
  parallel 
  to 
  near 
  the 
  apices, 
  with 
  the 
  surface 
  irregularly 
  punc- 
  

   tate, 
  the 
  femora 
  robust, 
  the 
  posterior 
  coxae 
  strongly, 
  angularly 
  ex- 
  

   panded 
  internally, 
  and 
  the 
  supplementary 
  carina 
  on 
  the 
  prosternum 
  

   strongly 
  elevated 
  anteriorly 
  and 
  extending 
  only 
  to 
  the 
  middle 
  of 
  the 
  

   propleural 
  triangle.
