2(3$) paratypes from the same locality, Feb. 27, 1911 
(American Museum). 
This species is allied to the Central American Colpodes 
championi Bates, eueides Bates, and especially severus Chd., 
of which last there is a single specimen from Guatemala 
in the Museum of Comparative Zoology. C. macer differs 
from all of them in its more slender form, more prolonged 
elytral apices, more elongate head, and more widely re- 
flexed prothoracic margins. 
Colpodes vagepunctatus n. sp. 
Moderately broad, rather depressed ; surface not strongly 
shining, with inconspicuous silky texture ; rufo-piceous, 
without metallic lustre, legs not paler, antennae dark rufous 
at base, testaceous with darker stripes from apex of fourth 
joint. Head longitudinally bi-impressed in front of eyes; 
mentum tooth triangular, pointed. Prothorax large, about 
a third wider than long (by measurement), slightly convex, 
slightly more narrowed in front than behind ; sides more or 
less evenly rounded from base to apex ; lateral margins mo- 
derately widely reflexed; basal angles indistinct, rounded- 
obtuse; disk with median line fine, transverse impressions 
poorly defined, basal foveae rather broad and deep, vaguely 
rugose, surface of disk otherwise smooth except vaguely 
transversely wrinkled near median line. Elytra with humeri 
distinct, apices sinuate and slightly produced, sutural angle 
right; striae rather deep, slightly irregular but not dis- 
tinctly punctate; intervals slightly convex; anterior dorsal 
puncture on third stria about basal fifth, second and third 
punctures on third interval near middle and apical fourth, 
slightly variable, second tending to be nearer second stria, 
third nearer third. Tibiae not sulcate externally ; front tarsi 
with indistinct sulci each side above, hind tarsi sulcate each 
side; fourth joint hind tarsus strongly lobed externally, 
fifth joint not ciliate. Metepisterna long; inner wings re- 
duced, about half elytral length (possibly variable). Length 
±12 mm.
