in front of which is a narrow, oblique, smooth, eburneous 
fascia, extending from near lateral margin to middle of 
each elytron; sides nearly parallel to behind middle, where 
they are strongly, arcuately expanded, with the tips broadly 
truncate ; surface finely, densely punctate, except on middle 
glabrous fascia and tops of the callosities, where it is 
coarsely, confluently punctured, rather sparsely clothed on 
basal half with long, recumbent, yellowish pubescence, 
apical half densely clothed with long, silky, golden yellow 
pubescence, which conceals the surface, and with numerous 
long, erect hairs intermixed over the entire surface. 
Beneath finely punctate, with a few coarse punctures in- 
termixed, sparsely clothed with recumbent pubescence and 
a few long, erect hairs intermixed, pubescence golden yel- 
low on abdomen and silvery white on rest of surface. Legs 
long, sparsely clothed with short, white pubescence, and 
long, stiff, black and white hairs intermixed ; femora 
strongly expanded at middle ; tibiae slightly arcuate, 
strongly flattened, and longitudinally carinate. 
Length, 9-10 mm. ; width, 2.8 mm. 
Type locality. — Prieta, Republic of Honduras. 
Other localities. — San Pedro, Honduras. Cacao, Trece 
Aguas, Alta Vera Paz, Guatemala. 
Type , allotype, and paratypes. — Cat. No. 43479, United 
States National Museum. 
Described from four examples, two males (one type), 
and two females. The type (male) and one male paratype 
collected at the type locality, April 5, 1924, by Dr. J. Be- 
quaert, allotype collected at San Pedro, Honduras, April 
21, 1923, by S. C. Bruner, and one paratype collected at 
Cacao, Trece Aguas, Alta Vera Paz, Guatemala, by G. P. 
Goll. 
This species is very closely allied to magna Bates, but 
differs from that species in being smaller, the pronotum 
not much longer than wide, with the entire apical half of 
the elytra densely clothed with silky, golden yellow pubes- 
cence. In the two females the pronotum and basal half of 
the elytra are not clothed with yellowish pubescence.
