  Examples 
  of 
  this 
  species 
  have 
  recently 
  been 
  sent 
  by 
  

   M. 
  Gaumer 
  from 
  Temax, 
  in 
  Yucatan, 
  the 
  State 
  whence 
  

   the 
  insect 
  described 
  by 
  M. 
  Putzeys 
  was 
  obtained. 
  The 
  

   species 
  belongs 
  to 
  a 
  group 
  of 
  the 
  genus 
  in 
  which 
  the 
  

   thorax 
  (except 
  on 
  the 
  disk) 
  and 
  the 
  elytra 
  are 
  closely 
  

   punctured, 
  a 
  group 
  which 
  connects 
  Selenopkorus 
  with 
  

   Arthrostictus. 
  The 
  glabrous 
  elytra 
  of 
  >S'. 
  punctatuliis 
  may 
  

   justify 
  the 
  retention 
  of 
  the 
  species 
  in 
  Selenophorus, 
  

   although 
  under 
  the 
  lens 
  a 
  very 
  fine 
  laid 
  pubescence 
  is 
  

   seen 
  on 
  the 
  sides 
  towards 
  the 
  apex, 
  especially 
  in 
  the 
  

   females. 
  

  

  S. 
  punctatuliis 
  occurs 
  also 
  at 
  Tampico

  This 
  species 
  departs 
  somewhat 
  widely 
  from 
  the 
  typical 
  

   Selenophori, 
  and 
  perhaps 
  would 
  be 
  better

  The 
  tri- 
  

   seriate 
  punctures 
  of

  elytra 
  are 
  very 
  small
