148 Mr. G. C. Champion’s Notes on 
Four specimens, possibly all females, the antennal club 
being rather narrow in all of them. Very like E. glaber 
(Gorh.), but with the elytra only black and the ventral 
segments 1-4 much less densely punctate. In H. glaber 
the entire ventral surface is extremely densely punctured 
and pubescent, a character not mentioned by its deseriber, 
though visible in one of the Duefias examples dissected 
by him. £. punctulatus, Lec. (viticola, Schwarz), and E. 
nitidus, Lec., are closely allied larger forms, the former 
having a much more sparsely, and the latter a more 
coarsely, punctured under surface. 
Eupactus striatus. 
Inoolius striatus, Gorh., Biol. Centr.-Am., Coleopt. ii, 2, 
p. 204 (1883). 
Described from specimens found at Chontales, Nicaragua. 
Additional localities are :— 
Mexico, Teapa (H. H. Smith); GuatTemata, Purula 
(Champion); Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
E. striatus was treated as somewhat doubtfully distinct 
from E. glaber. The long series subsequently received 
shows that the species is perfectly valid: the elytra are 
closely, finely punctate, faintly striate on the disc, and the 
broad shallow marginal depression is wanting; the upper 
surface has a bluish tint, and would be better described as 
nigro-cyaneous; and the ventral segments are piceous or 
rufous, like the antennae. The male has the antennal club 
much more broadly widened than the female. The under 
surface is finely pubescent. The metasternal process is 
broader than long and the notchis deep. The length varies 
from 2-24 mm. 
Eupactus exiguus. 
Inoolius exiguus, Gorh., Biol. Centr.-Am., Coleopt. i, 2, 
p. 347 (1886). 
Described from two examples from Honduras. Addi- 
tional specimens have since been received from Teapa, 
Mexico, and Bugaba, Panama. This is a form of #. 
striatus, black or piceous above, with the thorax and 
elytra more densely and a little more distinctly punctate, 
and the dorsal striae of the latter almost obsolete. 
Gorham presumably meant to compare it with #. striatus, 
and not with H. punctatus, a very different species with two 
deeply impressed submarginal striae.
