on each side of the abdomen ochreous-white. Head coarsely 

 and irregularly punctured, longitudinally convex in the centre, 

 sides of tlie clypeus elevated and slightly narrowed in front, 

 the apex deeply emarginate in the centre, the apical points 

 elevated and obtuse. Thorax very deeply and coarsely 

 punctured at the sides, the punctures finer and more remote 

 on the disc, the basal lobe strongly produced and almost im- 

 punctate. Scutellum very acute at the apex. Elytra with 

 closely placed rows of very coarse deep punctures which become 

 irregular and confluent in places, almost obsolete in the region 

 of the scutellum, very close and confused at the apex, and finer 

 and irregular at the sides; the suture depi'essed anteriorly, but 

 moderately elevated behind and a little produced at the apex, 

 Pygidium transversely strigose with a slightly raised longitudinal 

 line towards the apex. Beneath coarsely punctured and strigose 

 at the sides, finely and sparsely punctured in the centre ; meta- 

 sternum with large variolose punctures at the sides and a central 

 impressed line, mesosternal process broad and obtuse at the apex; 

 abdomen slightly impressed in the centre, apical segment strigose. 

 Legs somewhat slender, anterior tibiae with an acute tooth near 

 the apex, intermediate and posterior tibiae Avithout lateral teeth, 

 the inner mai'gin densely fringed with long hairs of the same 

 colour as the tibia. The female is broader, more coarsely and 

 closely punctured, with the thorax more broadly rounded at the 

 sides, the pygidium without an elevated line, the abdomen not 

 impressed in the centre, the legs shorter and stouter, with two 

 strong lateral teeth on the anterior tibiae and one acute tooth on 

 the outer side of the intermediate tibiae. Length 30-33 mm.

This species, which I believe usually stands in collections as 

 haematopus, Schm., may be readily distingiiished from that 

 species by its larger and more robust form, much coarser sculp- 

 ture, metallic colour and bi-maculate pygidium. The true 

 haeiaatopiis, of Avhich I possess the original type specimen from 

 the collection of the late Major Parry, appears to be a much 

 scarcer species, it was described as coming from Columbia, which 

 is evidently an error, as the type is labelled " Mexico," from 

 which country I have also another sjjecimen ; its geographical 

 range, however, extends as far south as Nicaragua, as I have a 

 specimen which was captured by my late brother in the Province 

 of Chontales.
