*Hupactus caeruleus, n. sp. 
Tnoolius punctatus, Gorh., Biol. Centr.-Am., Coleopt. iii, 2, 
p. 203, pl. 10, figs. 15 (1883) (part.). 
Ovate, very convex, shining; blue (with a greenish tint in 
certain lights) above, piceous beneath, the antennae, legs, and 
abdomen obscure ferruginous; thickly clothed with fine ashy 
pubescence. Head, thorax, and elytra densely, rather finely punctate ; 
antennae with joints 3-8 small, 4-8 transverse, feebly subserrate, 
9-11 very broad, 9 elongate, as long as 10 and 11 united, 10 excised 
on the inner side at the base; elytra with traces of very faint im- 
pressed lines on the disc, the submarginal striae entirely wanting 
the humeral callus smooth. Beneath densely, finely punctate, the 
metasternum with a narrow smooth space down the middle, the 
intercoxal process of the latter triangularly notched in front. 
Length (excl. head) 2;;, breadth 13 mm. 
Hab. Panama, David in Chiriqui (Champion). 
One example. This is the insect figured by Gorham 
under the name Lnoolius punctatus. The densely punctured 
cinereo-pubescent surface, the complete absence of the sub- 
marginal striae of the elytra, the almost simple inter- 
mediate joints of the antennae, and its ovate general shape 
distinguish H. caeruleus at a glance from E. punctatus. 
The legs (which were not properly seen by the artist) are 
shown much too long in the figure, the tarsi especially, 
which are not half the length of the tibiae. 
*Hupactus dejeani. 
Eupactus (Thaptor) dejeani, Pic, L’Kchange, xxi, p. 115 
(1905). 
This species is unknown to me. The description of it 
is as follows :—Minutus, convexus, nigro-piceus, distincte 
punctatus, sat dense in thorace et capite, sat sparse in 
elytris; antennis testaceis; elytris instriatis. Court et 
assez large, convexe, peu brillant, briévement pubescent, a 
ponctuation forte, plus serrée sur lavant-corps, noir 
de poix avec les pattes rembrunies; antennes testacées, 
premier article courbé, suivants petits, trois derniers gros et 
épaissis, les deux de l’extrémité peu détachés l’un de l’autre ; 
téte peu convexe; prothorax assez court, progressive- 
ment atténué en avant; élytres courts et larges, a épaules 
marquées, un peu rétrécis au sommet avec une faible 
dépression latérale incompléte, mais sans aucune trace de
