52 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
11. Apion glyphicum, sp. n. 
Robustum, nigrum, supra parce subtiliusque albido-setosum, opacum, elytris subeeneis ; rostro robusto, capite 
inter oculos striato ; prothorace fortiter punctato ; elytris tenuiter minus profunde sulcatis, interstitiis 
planis. 
Long. 24 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Jalapa (/ége). 
There is but little difference between the sexes in this species; but the male has the 
middle and hind tibie mucronate at the apex, and the rostrum not quite so long as the 
head and thorax, while in the female it is about as long as the head and thorax. 
Rostrum stout, sulcate on each side; antenne inserted near to the eyes, these latter 
convex, the interval separating them only moderately broad, and bearing three or four 
fine strie. ‘Thorax greatly narrowed from the base to the front, very coarsely punctate, 
with a very short channel in front of the scutellum. Elytra convex, much broader than 
the thorax; the grooves rather fine and not very deep, bearing distant, remote punctures, 
the intervals flat and rather broad. Legs stout. ‘The pubescence of the under surface 
less scanty than that above, but still not close. Three specimens. 
12. Apion tabogense, sp. n. 
Breve, robustum, nigrum, subopacum, parcissime albido-setosum ; rostro (maris) crassiusculo, rugoso; pro- 
thorace lato, conico, dense punctato ; elytris striatis, interstitiis latis, planis. 
Long. 2 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Taboga Island (Champion). 
We have received only two males of this species, but as it will be recognized without 
much difficulty—not being very near to any other—I have described it. The middle 
and hind tibie are mucronate at the apex, but the mucrones are slender spurs directed 
straight downwards, not inwards as in most of the other species. The rostrum is rather 
thick, curvate, densely sculptured except at the tip; the antenne are inserted not very 
far from the eyes, being separated from them by not quite one fourth of the length of 
the rostrum ; the eyes are rather large and prominent, placed close to the thorax, the 
interval between them moderately broad. The thorax is rather broad, much narrowed 
towards the front, scarcely at all impressed at the sides, moderately closely and coarsely 
but obsoletely punctate, with a small fovea in front of the scutellum. Elytra short 
and broad, coarsely striate, though the striz are scarcely deep enough to be called sulci, 
the interstices rather broad, flat. ‘The white setosity is not quite so scanty on the under 
surface as it is above, and under the orbits is a little more conspicuous. 
13. Apion championi, sp.n. (Tab. III. fig. 4.) 
Robustum, nigrum, sat nitidum, fere nudum; rostro mediocri, sculpturato, basi incrassato; prothorace 
conico, parce subtiliterque punctato; elytris convexis, striatis, interstitiis latis, planis. 
Long. 22? millim.
