various Central American Coleoptera. 105 
Described from a single specimen (3) from Motzorongo, 
Mexico. The following localities may be added :— 
GUATEMALA, Teleman and Chacoj in the Polochic 
valley (Champion : 3 9). 
Compared with H. revttert, the present species has the 
eyes smaller and less prominent; the thorax more coarsely 
punctate, and with the anterior angles in a line with the 
front margin; the elytra more narrowed posteriorly, 
regularly punctate-striate, and with the interstices much 
more distinctly punctured ; the anterior tibiae more acutely 
dentate at the outer apical angle; and the surface of the 
body more shining and clothed with longer hairs. The 
thorax is nearly square in the male, and transverse in the 
female. 
*Hapalips lucidus, n. sp. 
Moderately elongate, narrowing posteriorly, shining, ferruginous, 
the eyes black, strongly pilose. Head short, closely punctate, 
shallowly bifoveate, the oblique impressed line on each side of the 
epistoma distinct, the eyes moderately large ; antennae barely reach- 
ing the base of the thorax, joints 4-8 short, the club abrupt. Thorax 
transversely subquadrate, margined at the sides and base, obliquely 
narrowed immediately before the acute hind angles, the anterior 
angles almost in line with the apical margin, the basal foveae distinct ; 
closely punctate. Elytra moderately long, about as wide as the 
thorax, narrowing posteriorly; finely punctate-striate, the inter- 
stices irregularly seriate-punctate. Legs short; tibiae rapidly 
widened outwards, the anterior pair more or less toothed at the 
outer apical angle. 
Length 4-4} mm. 
Hab. Mexico, Tampico (Schwarz, in U.S. Nat. Mus.), 
Vera Cruz (Hége; U.S. Nat. Mus.); British Honpuras, 
Belize (Blancaneauz). 
Very near the Mexican H. flohri, Gorh., but less robust, 
smaller, and not so elongate, the thorax strongly transverse. 
The more dilated tibiae and the less distinctly punctate- 
striate elytra separate H. lucodus from the females of 
H. grouvellei, Gorh., and H. mezicanus, Reitt. The 
description is taken from the three specimens from Belize, 
these even varying in the intensity of the punctuation of 
the upper surface. Five others have been seen from 
Mexico.
