APION. 61: 
length of the head. The rostrum in the male is curved, quite slender, rather longer 
than the head and thorax ; in the female it is nearly straight, much longer, quite one 
millim. in length. The punctuation of the thorax is coarse and close. The elytra are 
long and narrow, with rather deep grooves or striae, the large punctures in which are 
quite distinct and approximate, the interstices flat. The griseous clothing of the surface 
is scanty, and there is no condensation of white hairs around the eyes or at the sides 
of the breast. 
A pair of this species was sent by Mr. Flohr, with the information that the insect 
was obtained by beating small oaks near Mexico City. Although there is a con- 
siderable difference between the two examples, yet they agree in the important character 
of the point of insertion of the antenne. 
31. Apion spectator, sp. n. 
Sat elongatum, nigrum, subnitidum, parum setosum ; rostro elongato, gracili, nitido, maris tenuiter pubescente ; 
prothorace fortiter denseque rugoso ; elytris profunde sulcatis, interstitiis subconvexis. 
Long. 2-27 millim. 
Hab. Guatemaa, Aceituno, San Gerdénimo (Champion). 
Rostrum cylindrical, shining, in the male delicately pubescent, rather longer than 
the head and thorax, in the female much longer, slender, and quite shining, though 
evidently punctate ; eyes moderately large and convex, the interval between them rather 
broad ; antenne quite black, inserted about as far in front of the eyes as the width of 
the head and eyes. Thorax short and broad, greatly narrowed in front, very coarsely 
sculptured, with a deep short impression in front of the scutellum. LElytra rather 
elongate, deeply and broadly sulcate, the interstices narrow and a little convex. Under 
surface sparingly clothed with white setosity. Middle coxe closely approximate. Male 
with the middle tibiee mucronate at the inner margin of the apex. Eleven specimens. 
The male of this species bears some resemblance to A. mediocre, but has the antenne 
inserted farther from the eyes, and the hind tibie are not mucronate. A. guatemalenum 
is more shining, and has a very differently sculptured thorax; while A. quercicola is 
more slender, very dull, and has a much narrower head. 
32. Apion fuscimanum, sp. n. 
Sat elongatum, nigrum, parum nitidum, nudum, tarsis anterioribus fuscis; rostro in sexibus dissimile, maris 
robusto, mediocri, punctulato, feminz elongato, nitido; oculis haud prominulis; prothorace fortiter 
punctato ; elytris ad basin deplanatis, sulcatis. 
Long. 2-23 millim. 
Hab. Guatemata, Capetillo, Zapote (Champion). 
Rostrum curvate, in the male dull, stout, as long as the head and thorax, in the 
female more slender, shining, longer than the head and thorax; eyes not at all 
prominent, the space between them somewhat narrow; antenne short and rather stout,
