Bufomicrus cristatus Sharp 1891

Hab.GUATEMALA, Sinanja (Champion).

Dense fusco-squamosus, parce hispidus, elytris cristis brevibus ornatis; femora intermedia et posteriora mutica.
 
Long. 6 millim.

Scape of antennæ sinuous, slender and glabrous at the base, much thicker and clothed at the apex. Eyes rather convex, a fovea between them. Thorax elongate, rounded at the sides and narrowed in front, the surface apparently coarsely sculptured, but completely covered with squamosity. Elytra covered with dark squamosity, which is very obscurely variegate, bearing erect clavate setæ, and with several short, slight, cristiform elevations. Tibiæ rather slender, hispid. The front femora with a large angular dilatation beneath.
 
Only one specimen was procured of this remarkable species; it differs from its congeners not only in the unarmed posterior femora, but also in the fact that the nasal plate is surrounded by a curvate, glabrous, explanate space or margin; the scrobes, too, are broader.
