APION. 65 
40. Apion conicicolle, sp. n. 
Piceum, setosum, pedibus testaceis, tarsis fuscis; prothorace conico, obsolete punctato; elytris sat profunde 
sulcatis. . 
Long. 2 millim. 
Hab. GuateMata, San Gerdénimo (Champion). 
Rostrum dissimilar in the sexes, slender, not so long as the head and thorax—in the 
female very slender, polished, in the male broader and setose; eyes not large, but 
quite convex, separated by a very wide interval; antenne inserted almost beneath the 
front of the eyes, at the base infuscate-yellow. Thorax conical, without punctuation, 
but with a very distinct setosity. Elytra moderately deeply sulcate, the interstices not 
much broader than the grooves, rather densely setose. Legs pale yellow ; tarsi dusky 
red, rather broad; middle coxe slightly separated. 
Ten examples were procured of this species; they are precisely alike, except in the 
sexual distinctions. 
41. Apion picturatum, sp. n. (Tab. III. fig. 11, 2.) 
Breve, convexum, subopacum, rufescens, setosum, elytrorum disco guttulis ornato, antennarum basi pedibusque 
flavis. 
Long. 2 millim. 
Hab. Panama, David (Champion). 
Rostrum almost as long as the head and thorax, dissimilar in the sexes—in the female 
with a rather large broad basal portion, and a slender cylindrical polished anterior part, 
while in the male the anterior part is not so slender, is not abruptly distinguished 
from the basal portion, and is not polished but feebly sculptured and setose, except 
at the tip; the eyes are rather small but convex, the antenne inserted some distance 
in front of them; the space between the eyes is broad. The thorax is rather broad 
and short, greatly narrowed in front, not visibly punctured, but with a well-marked 
depressed squamosity. Elytra stout, rounded and convex, with well-marked rather 
deep grooves, and a pallid squamosity distributed irregularly so as to give a spotted 
appearance, the spots being most distinct around the discoidal area. The legs are 
rather stout, pale yellow, with the tarsi reddish; the coxe and trochanters are red ; 
the middie coxe are not widely separated. 
Four examples were obtained of this species; it is not likely to be confounded with 
any other owing to the spotted arrangement of the squamosity. 
42. Apion cretaceicolle, sp.n. (Tab. II. fig. 25.) 
Convexum, rufescens, squamosum, opacum, antennarum basi pedibusque testaceis, tarsis antennarumque clava 
fuscis ; prothorace conico, densius squamoso-setoso ; elytris profunde sulcatis, squamosis, squamositate 
sublineatim disposita. 
Long. 23 millim.
