into flagrant errors of s3aionym3^, due to his desire not to an- 

 nounce in any case more tlian the assumed five components. 

 The species composing the material before me are as follows: — 



Proculus mniszechi Kaup. — Honduras. 



Proculus magister sp. n. — Honduras. 



Proculejoides crassulus sp. n. — Honduras. 



Platyverres intermedius Kaup. — Guerrero. The single example is rather 

 small, not quite 42 mm. in length, 48 mm. being the length recorded 

 hy Kaup. It is somewhat singular that the pronounced habital diver- 

 gence of intermedius from the other species placed in Verres, should not 

 have been alluded to by the author, and the necessity for a distinct 

 geiius is sufficiently evident. It is probable that Dr. Kaup had in view 

 only the cephalic structure, which greatly resembles that of Verres, and 

 the short lobes of the antennal club, in associating it with Verres corti- 

 cola. 



Himor munitus sp. n. — Guerrero. 



Faxillus parvus sp. n. — Honduras. 



Neleus tlascala Perch. — Honduras. 



mnus interstitialis Esch. — Guerrero and Honduras. The male has the elytra 

 very slightly shorter and the prothorax a little longer, but not wider, 

 than the female. There is no distinguishing feature apparent in the 

 representatives of the two localities. 



ILhodocanthopus inops Truq. — Guerrero. 



Ptichopus angulatus Perch. — Honduras. 



Passalus striatopunctatus Perch. — Honduras. Differs from distinctus and 

 cornutus in having the metasternum strongly punctured near the hind 

 angles, with the depressed lateral line wider and more pubescent, in 

 the large and prominent single external spine of the middle tibiae, and 

 especially, in the structure of the antennal club, the first joint being 

 fully three times as wide as long and of a different form. Some of these 

 differences are possibly subgeneric in weight. 



Soranus imbellls sp. n. — Guerrero. 



Verres corticola Truq. — Guerrero. 



Verres vernicatus sp. n. — Honduras. 



Verres cavilabris sp. n. — Honduras. 



The new species of the list are described below in the same suc- 

 cession. 



Proculus magister. — Elongate-oval, strongly convex, polished, the 

 pubescent areas and general structure almost exactly as in mniszechi. Head 

 with three feeble tubercles, two of which are near the anterior margin, 

 and a large oblique tumidity above each eye, the neck densely punctured at 

 the sides of the upper surface; labrum a little larger than in mniszechi, rather 

 more deeply sinuate at apex and less denselj^ punctured, the mandibles shorter 

 and stouter, more unequallj' bilobed at apex and much more convex externally 

 toward base, the upper tooth less basal, more oblique and much less developed;
