Exophthalmus bilineatus Champion 1911

♀. Oblong, black; densely clothed with golden-green and flesh-coloured (or pale cupreous) scales, the latter predominating on the head and rostrum, and condensed into two vittæ on the disc of the prothorax, a spot at each angle of the latter, and two stripes on each elytron (one, sinuous, running down the middle of the disc to near the apex, the other along the lower margin), the legs green with golden and cupreous tints, the minute scales between the bristles on the antennæ (except on the brown club) pale cupreous; the surface also set with very short, fine, adpressed, scattered hairs. Head and rostrum rugulosely punctate, the rostrum finely carinate, the carina followed by a short inter-ocular groove; eyes large, rounded, moderately prominent. Prothorax a little broader than long, narrowed anteriorly, depressed down the middle; confluently foveato-punctate. Elytra broad, parallel in their basal third, acuminate and mucronate at the tip, the humeri rather prominent; closely seriato-foveate, the rows 3—5 (covered by the carneous sinuous stripe) irregular or interrupted before the middle, the third interstice distinctly raised, the space between it and the suture flattened anteriorly.
 
Length 14¾, breadth 5½ millim.

Hab.GUATEMALA, Purula in Vera Paz (Champion).

One specimen in very fresh condition. Very near E. cæruleovittatus (♀), but with the elytra parallel at the base, and each ornamented with a sinuous flesh-coloured stripe, which is limited inwards by the slightly raised third interstice, the prothorax with two similarly coloured vittæ on the disc; the foveæ (in which the small seriate punctures of the elytra are placed) large, the rows 3—5 interrupted or irregular.
