OCHOMUS— CCELODES. 107 



or hind tibiae, and very little in the size and form of the plate at the apex beneath cf 

 the hind femora. One specimen differs in the punctuation of the elytral interstices 

 being less dense and the surface consequently more shining. The much thickened 

 clypeal margin is strongly arcuated, scarcely hemi-hexagonal ; its front face is rather 

 high and subvertical, and at its foot is flattened out into what I term the epistome, to 

 the very slightly thickened anterior margin of which the labrum is articulated. 



4. Ochodaeus ? 



Hab. Guatemala, San Isidro (Champion). 



A single example, possibly the other sex of the preceding ; but differing in the 

 longer and softer pubescence of the elytra, as well as in the absence of tubercles from 

 each end of the arcuated rim of the clypeus. 



5. Ochodaeus ? 



Hab. Mexico, Villa Lerdo in Durango (Edge). 



A single example, apparently allied to the North-American 0. musculus. 



6. Ochodasus pollicaris. (Tab. VII. fig. 4.) 



Piceo-castaneus vel fulvus, nitidus, erecte birsutus, antennis fusco-piceis ; capite tboraceque sat grosse discrete 

 punctatis nee asperatis, elypeo valde arcuato et margine incrassato ntrinqne late tubereulato, antice verti- 

 cal!, epistomate piano, polito; elytris striato-punctatis, interstitiis parum convexis et sparsim punctulatis, 

 apice suturali rectangulo : tibiis anticis apice intus processn elongato et lato deflexo armatis, extus denti- 

 culo 3° cseteris minus remote- ; femoribus posticis apice infra lamella sat magna triangulari, tibiis simplicibua ; 

 ventris segmento apicali dense pnnctulato. 



Long. 7|-8| millim. tf ? 



Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). Two examples. 



Apparently closely allied to the Colombian 0. rugatus, Westw., having, like that 

 species, a coarsely and subremotely punctured thorax; the form of the clypeus, 

 however, differs both from the description and the figure. The remarkable thumb-like 

 process at the inner apex of the anterior tibiae appears not to exist in Westwood's 

 species, judging from the figure and description.
