various Central American Coleoptera. 145 
coarsely punctured than the thorax, the punctures here and there 
arranged in lines (which give the appearance of very faint striae on 
the disc), the two submarginal striae confined to the apical half, 
the inner one very deep and sulciform and not reaching the suture, 
the humeral callus smooth. Beneath densely, the middle of the 
metasternum coarsely and more sparsely, punctate, the intercoxal 
process of the latter broader than long and triangularly notched in 
front. 
Length (excl. head) 2}—2}, breadth 13-12 mm. 
Hab. Honpuras (Sallé); GuaremMata, Panzos in Alta 
Vera Paz (Champion). 
Gorham’s description of Lioolius punctatus was taken 
from the three Honduras examples, and the Panama insect 
figured by him belongs to the different species charac- 
terised below under the name £. caeruleus. A fresh 
description, however, is required in each case. 
*Hupactus subvestitus, n. sp. 
Oblong, moderately shining, nigro-piceous or black, the antennae 
and legs obscure ferruginous; the punctures bearing excessively fine 
short hairs, which are soon abraded. Head, thorax, and elytra 
very sparsely, excessively minutely punctate, the interspaces 
somewhat alutaceous, the elytra with two punctured submarginal 
striae, the inner one abbreviated anteriorly and not nearly reaching 
the suture behind; eyes moderately large; antennal club elongate, 
not very broad, the apical two joints united slightly longer than 9; 
thorax (as seen from above) obliquely narrowing from the base ; 
elytra a little wider than the thorax, subparallel in their basal half, 
the humeri rather prominent. Beneath densely, minutely, the 
metasternum rather sparsely, punctate, the latter sulcate down the 
middle and deeply notched in front. 
Length 27;-2%, breadth 1}-1} mm. (? 9.) 
Hab. Mexico, near the city (Hodge, Flohr). 
Two examples. This species and the following have the 
elongate form of the Antillean #. laevis (Gorh.), a much 
larger insect without submarginal striae to the elytra. 
Found on oak, according to Flohr. 
*Hupactus donckiert. 
Eupactus donchiert, Pic, L’Kchange, xx, p. 19 (1904). 
Oblong-ovate, narrow, compressed, very shining, castaneous, 
glabrous above. Head, thorax, and elytra very sparsely, excessively
