164 Mr. G. C. Champion’s Notes on 
under surface in part, ferruginous; the upper surface closely, con- 
fusedly punctate, the punctures on the elytra much coarser than 
those on the head and thorax. Head transversely grooved in front ; 
antennae moderately stout, reaching to a little beyond the base of 
the thorax, the last three joints abruptly widened. Thorax convex, 
transverse, slightly narrowed posteriorly, sharply margined and 
feebly crenulate at the sides, and also margined at the base, the 
anterior angles obtuse, the hind angles rectangular. Elytra a little 
wider than the thorax, moderately long, parallel in their basal half. 
Beneath very finely, the head and prosternum more coarsely, 
punctate. Legs short; posterior femora distinctly hollowed on the 
lower side near the apex; posterior tibiae in 3 sinuate at the base 
and arcuately bowed thence to the apex. 
Length 3mm. (3 32.) 
Hab. GuatEMALA, Cerro Zunil, Pacific slope (Champion). 
Two males and two females. Distinguishable from all 
its allies by the peculiarly formed posterior tibiae of the 
male. The posterior femora appear to be feebly dentate, 
owing to the slight hollowing of the lower surface near 
the tip. 
*Lorelus curticollis, n. sp. 
Moderately elongate, somewhat depressed, feebly shining, 
glabrous; black or piceous, with the elytra wholly or in part (leaving . 
a broad common dark sutural stripe) castaneous, and the antennae, 
palpi, and legs ferruginous, the legs in one example infuscate; the 
upper surface closely, confusedly punctate; the punctures coarse on 
the elytra and much finer on the head and thorax. Antennae rather 
stout, reaching to a little beyond the base of the thorax, the last 
three joints abruptly widened. Eyes rather small. Thorax trans- 
versely subquadrate, much broader than long, distinctly narrowed 
towards the base, sharply margined and crenulate at the sides, and 
also margined at the base, the hind angles subrectangular, the 
surface alutaceous. Elytra considerably wider than the thorax, 
parallel in their basal half, somewhat flattened on the disc. Beneath 
very finely, the head and prosternum more coarsely, punctate ; 
prosternal process narrow. Legs short. 
Length 3-4+ mm. 
Hab. Mexico, Cordova (Sallé); Guatemata, El Tum- 
bador, Las Mercedes, Cerro Zunil (Champion); Panama, 
Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
Twelve examples, doubtless including both sexes, varying 
a good deal in size and colour. Very like L. curvipes, and
