70 Mr. G. C. Champion’s Notes on 
Five species of this genus! are mentioned by Matthews 
as from Central America, two of which he had not seen. 
A sixth is now added from the mountains of Guerrero.

Oblong, elliptic, very convex, shining, black, the apex of the elytra 
indeterminately, and the tip of the abdomen, rufo-piceous. The palpi, 
antennae, tibiae, and tarsi testaceous or rufo-testaceous, the femora 
piceous. Head and thorax almost smooth; head small; antennae 
long, joints 3-11 elongate, subequal in length, 3-8 extremely slender, 
9-11 arcuately widened within; elytra with numerous coarse deep 
punctures, which become obsolete towards the apex, the punctures 
arranged in irregular scattered sinuous lines on the disc and becoming 
more crowded towards the sides, the sutural stria deep and con- 
spicuously punctate. 
Length 2, breadth 14 mm. 
Hab. Mexico, Omilteme in Guerrero, 8,000 feet (H. H. 
Smith). 
One specimen. Differs from all the described species 
of the genus in having the elytra impressed with extremely 
coarse subseriately arranged punctures; the antennae 
are long and very slender, and have the last three joints 
widened. Viewed laterally, the insect is convex above 
and beneath.

Dr. Sharp in his enumeration of the Central-American 
Cybocephalinae (Biol. Centr.-Am., Coleopt. ii, 1, pp. 372, 
373) does not mention any species of the typical genus 
1 B. punctipennis, Matth., has the five apical joints of the 
antennae widened, and it should be placed under Scaphisoma.
