T. exophthahnus is characterized by a basal union of rostrum with head tumid, and circular; eyes prominent, their apices rounded and pro- jected backward; club of antennae elongate, seg- ments slender and short; prothorax globose and proximal portion of hind femora long and slender. Trigonops becki n. sp. Fig. .30-31 Derm black, with roundish scales, elevated in the center, green in the main, with a few blue and iridescent ones interspersed on the head, rostrum, scape, prothorax, ventrites, except seg- ments 3-5 which are devoid of scales. Head twice as wide at base as apex, eyes prominent. Rostnim longer than broad, parallel- sided, with a median area extending from V- shaped union with head to apical declivity, sparsely covered with small green and blue scales. Median scrobal area separated from the declivity by a slight elevation. Scrobes large Antennae scape almost as broad at base as at apex, reaching middle of prothorax, with decum- bent black and light-colored setae, green and bluish scale; funicle segments 1-2 as long as segments .3-5 combined, segment 1 thicker than 2, club rather stoutly oval, shorter than preced- ing three funicular segments. Prothorax slightly broader than long, gently rounded laterally, wid- est a little beyond middle, dorsum convex longi- tudinally, sparsely convexed with scales along middle, pu
