ART. 19 NEW BEETLES OF THE FAMILY CEEAMBYCIDAE EISHEE, 15 



clothed with long, recumbent golden yellow pubescence. Scutellum 

 triangular, densely clothed with yellow pubescence at apex. 



Elytra extending to just beyond base of first abdominal segment, 

 cuneiform, slightly arcuately dehiscent posteriorly, with the tips 

 rather broadly rounded; surface with the black margins clearly de- 

 fined, glabrous, and coarsely, densely punctate except in the humeral 

 regions, the vitreous areas coarsely, obsoletely punctate, and clothed 

 with a few erect, inconspicuous yellow hairs. 



Abdomen beneath slightly flattened, finely, very sparsely punctate, 

 the apical segments densely clothed with short, recumbent cinereous 

 pubescence. Sternum rather densely clothed with short, recumbent 

 cinereous pubescence, with a few long, semierect golden yellow hairs 

 toward the sides. Anterior and middle femora short and strongly 

 clavate ; posterior femora long and slightly clavate toward the apices. 

 Anterior and middle tibiae short, densely clothed with golden yel- 

 low pubescence on the inner sides; posterior tibiae long, slightly 

 arcuate, clothed Vv^ith long reddish yellow hairs, which are denser 

 and longer on the apical halves. Tarsi clothed with black hairs 

 except the two basal joints of the posterior legs, which are densely 

 clothed with long reddish yellow hairs, similar to those of the tibiae. 



Length, 19 mm. ; width, 4 mm. 



Ty'pe locality. — Cabima, Panama. 



Type.—QdX. No. 42826, U.S.N.M. 



Described from a single female collected at the type locality. May 

 26, 1911, by August Busck. 



This species is closely allied to hrachyptera Chevrolat, but differs 

 from that species in having the antennae entirely black, the elytra 

 more arcuately dehiscent toward the tips, and the posterior legs yel- 

 low, with the exception of the tips of the femora and the three 

 apical joints of the tarsi, which are black. It also resembles 

 Acyphoderes dbdo^ninalis Olivier very closely, but can be readily 

 separated from that species by its short cuneiform elytra, which 

 barely pass the base of the first abdominal segment. 



PHYGOPODA MANNI, new species 



Male. — Head, pronotum, and scutellum black; antennae reddish 

 brown, becoming slightly paler on the basal segments; elytra pale 

 yellow, somewhat vitreous, with the lateral and sutural margins 

 brownish black, the brownish-black areas very broad along the lat- 

 eral margins, and with an oblique spot of the same color on each 

 elytron behind the scutellum; body beneath black except the last 

 abdominal segment, which is reddish; anterior and middle legs red- 

 dish brown, the femora slightly darker; posterior legs black, with 

 the tarsi and bases of femora and tibiae pale yellow.
