the basal member of the series of teeth on the hind femora is 
not enlarged. In Mr. Crawford’s opinion, this is not more 
than a specific character. Mr. Crawford has also kindly as- 
certained that it is different from the described species of 
Eustypiura, and also has kindly searched Cameron (Biologia 
Cent. Am.) and Cresson to see if it might have been described 
under Smicra or Spilochalcis, but without result. It seems 
certain that it is new, and I venture to call it after Mr. Rodri- 
guez, who has collected so many new insects in Guatemala.
