Stenotarsus chiriquinus, sp. n. 



The sexual feiitiires iiieiitioiied above (*'. e. the elonjration 

 of the legs and antennae of the males), although recognised 

 by Gerstaecker, were ignored by Gorham. The latter 's 

 S. ■macrocems is the male of S. jmrpuratus Gerst. Still 

 more remarkable than tlie great elongation of the antennae 

 and legs in that form is the sharpening of the hind angles 

 of the ])rothorax. 



There is no valid reason for the inclusion of >S'. adum- 

 bratus Gorh., in the Central American fauna, the specimen 

 from Tactic so identified being quite different from the 

 Colombian type with short antennae to which alone the 

 description applies. The Guatemalan species may be 

 called 



Stenotarsus guatemalae, sp. n. 



Deep chestnut-red, with the last four joints of the antenna black. 

 Oval, convex and very shining, with a moderately coarse clothing 

 of tawny hair. The pronotuni is very minutely punctured, with 

 its sides little curved, divergent from front to hind angles, the 

 lateral margins narrow and the hind angles acute. The antennae 

 (of the male) are slender, fully two-thirds as long as the body, 

 with the joints elongate, except the 8th, 9th, and 10th, of which 

 the 8th is beadlike, the 9th about as long as it is wide, and the 

 10th transverse, the last three joints not greatly dilated but very 

 loosely articulated. The elytra are finely but distinctly and not 

 closely punctured, the punctures being larger behind the shoulders. 



Length 3 mm.

Another closely allied Guatemalan species was confused 

 by (Torham with S. sallaei, which is apparently peculiar 

 to Mexico. I propose to name this 



Stenotarsus distinguendus, sp. n. 



Deep mahogany-red, with the last four or five joints of the 

 antennae black. 



Elongate-oval, shining, with a moderately coarse clothing of 

 tawny hair. The pronotuni is minutely and densely punctured, 

 with the sides little curved, divergent from front to base, the 

 raised margins narrow, not widened in front, the basal foveae very 

 deep and the hind angles acute. The elytra are rather closely and
