various Central American Coleoptera. 95 
phagidae or Cucujidae. The extraordinary dilatation of 
the anterior tarsi may prove to be peculiar to the male sex. 
The exserted head; the 3-jointed, abrupt antennal club; 
the basally constricted, long thorax; the greatly thickened 
anterior femora; the closed anterior acetabula, etc., are 
also characteristic. The two basal joints of the interme- 
diate and posterior tarsi are so closely articulated that the 
separation between them is not easily seen. 
*Cleridopsis latumanus, n. sp. (Plate III, figs. 10, J; 10a, 
anterior tarsus.) 
Elongate, subcylindrical, shining, ferruginous or obscure ferru- 
ginous, the elytra with a faint oblong darker patch on the outer part 
of the disc; clothed with long, fine, erect hairs. Head, as seen from 
above, nearly as long as broad, closely punctate, the eyes not 
prominent; antennae moderately long, joint 1 stout, 2 about as 
long as broad, 3 obconic, 4-8 shorter, submoniliform, 9-10 very 
broad, transverse, 11, stout, oval. Thorax as long as broad, convex, 
cylindrical, abruptly constricted into a short neck behind the incon- 
spicuous rectangular hind angles, margined at the base only; 
punctured like the head. Elytra parallel, about twice the length of 
the thorax, strongly, transversely depressed before the middle; 
rather coarsely, closely, confusedly punctate, the punctures becoming 
very fine towards the apex.. Beneath coarsely, closely, the ventral 
segments sparsely and finely, punctate. Anterior femora broadly, 
the other femora less strongly, clavate.
