90 Mr. G. C. Champion’s Notes on 
little more sparsely punctate than the thorax, the humeri prominent. 
Mesosternum sharply margined on each side between the coxae. 
Length 1? mm. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui, 8,000 feet (Champion). 
One specimen. More elongate than 7. gibbipennis, the 
elytra less inflated, the antennae infuscate to the tip 
(the two basal joints excepted), the thorax less trans- 
verse, the humeri prominent, etc. The elytra have an 
ill-defined basal and sub-apical fascia, connected along the 
suture, rufo-testaceous. T'. fuscicornis is not very closely 
related to any of the species described by Dr. Sharp. The 
Mexican 7’. cruciatus, Reitt., was unknown to him, but it 
is evidently different from the Panama insect. 
OCHOLISSA. 
Ocholissa, Pascoe, Journ. Ent. ti, p. 85 (1863). 
Two species were referred to this genus by Pascoe— 
O. laeta, from Ega, and O. humeralis, from Saylee, Mysol, 
and other eastern islands. It may be stated that in the . 
type of Ocholissa, O. laeta, the anterior acetabula are incom- 
pletely closed behind, the prosternal sutures are almost 
obsolete, and the tarsi are 4-jointed. Ocholissa was re- 
ferred by Pascoe to the Colydiidae, but it seems to me to 
be better placed in Cryptophagidae, near Holosternus and 
Anepsicus, Sharp. 
*Ocholissa laeta. 
Ocholissa laeta, Pasc. loc. cit. pl. 5, fig. 1. 
The following description was made from Guatemalan 
specimens before the identity of the species was suspected, 
and as the insect is somewhat variable in colour, the par- 
ticulars given will supplement Pascoe’s diagnosis. The 
measurements include a very small Amazonian example 
found by Bates. 
Moderately elongate, parallel, depressed, shining; piceous, the 
elytra testaceous, with a common transverse black median fascia, 
which extends indeterminately up and down the suture, the antennae 
partly or entirely ferruginous, the legs testaceous. Head very finely 
punctate, shallowly transversely grooved behind the epistoma, 
greatly developed and as broad as the thorax in 3, smaller in 9; 
eyes moderately large, rather prominent; antennae with joints 4-8
