ANADUS. 235 
elytra rather short, shallowly, coarsely, and somewhat closely punctured; legs rather stout, fer- 
ruginous. 
Length 54-52 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Cordova (Sailé). 
Two examples. This species is allied to and of the size of the North-American 
A. brunneus, Zieg., but with the thorax differently formed—e. g. the lateral margins more 
expanded, the sides more rounded, the hind angles much more acute, the base distinctly 
impressed on each side, and the disc much more sparingly punctured; the third joint 
of the antenne very much longer, the legs longer, &c. A. rotundicollis, Lec., 
from the desert of the Gila River of Arizona, is probably also another ally of 
A. mexicanus. 
4, Anedus maculatus. 
Oblong ovate, brownish-piceous, slightly shining, the upper surface clothed with short decumbent hairs. Head 
broadly and transversely impressed in front, coarsely and closely punctured on the vertex, the intraocular 
space with a few scattered coarse impressions, the epistoma more finely punctured; antenns compara- 
tively short, not very stout, joint 2 short, about half the length of 3, joint 4 the length of but rather wider 
than 8, joints 4-10 slightly widening outwardly and almost equal in length, joint 11 longer and rather 
wider than 10, obliquely and bluntly rounded at the apex, ferruginous, the middle joints darker ; prothorax 
strongly transverse, the sides obliquely and sinuously narrowed before and behind the middle, rather more 
narrowed posteriorly, the lateral margins narrow and not extended, the anterior angles obtuse, the hind 
angles acute and outwardly directed, the surface very coarsely and closely punctured ; scutellum smooth ; 
elytra rather short, coarsely and closely punctured (not quite so closely as the prothorax), the punctures 
here and there transversely confluent, piceous, the shoulders broadly, a transverse band (not reaching 
the suture) on each side beyond the middle, and a patch on each side (not reaching the suture) just before 
the apex, obscure reddish-testaceous ; legs and oral organs reddish-testaceous. 
Length 34 millim. 
Hab. Panama, David in Chiriqui (Champion). 
One example. This little species is allied to A. apicicornis, but with totally different 
antenne, differently formed thorax, the elytra comparatively shorter and maculated. 
5. Anedus longicornis. 
Elongate ovate, reddish-brown or piceous, shining, sparingly clothed with long erect hair. Head very coarsely, 
irregularly, and subconfluently punctured, transversely impressed in front; antenne rather stout, long, in 
the male reaching to the middle of the elytra, in the female shorter, ferruginous, joint 2 small and strongly 
transverse, joint 3 short, not twice as long as 2, and about as broad as long, joint 4 more than twice as 
long as 3 in the female, three times as long in the male, joints 5-10 about equal in length in the female, 
in the male gradually lengthening outwardly, joint 11 longer than 10, still longer in the male, obliquely 
subtruncate at the apex ; prothorax strongly transverse, the sides rounded anteriorly, abruptly narrowed 
and sinuate behind, the lateral margins extended and prominent, the anterior angles broadly rounded, the 
hind angles subrectangular and rather acute, the surface very coarsely, irregularly, and not very closely 
punctured ; scutellum smooth; elytra rather long, coarsely, confusedly, and rather closely punctured, and 
with a regular row of closely placed punctures along the suture, the shoulders, and the sides less distinctly 
paler; legs slender, light ferruginous. (¢ 9.) 
Length 5-64 millim. ; 
Hab. Mexico, Capulalpam, Guanajuato (Sad/é) ; GUATEMALA, near the city (Champion)
