This is closely allied to A. chiriquense, but is of less elongate form, and the hind 
femora are clear yellow-red in colour; these two characters seem quite sufficient to 
distinguish the species from A. chiriquense. The upper surface bears a few scattered 
hairs, and there is a condensation of them at the base of the third interstice of the 
elytra so as to form a white spot on each side; and there is also a condensation of 
white sete at the sides of the breast beneath. The sexual difference in the rostrum is 
not great, but that of the female is a little longer and more slender. 
54. Apion maceratum, sp. n. 
Nigrum, subopacum, fere nudum, elytris subenescentibus, pedibus rufis; rostro mediocri, opaco, obsolete 
sculpturato ; prothorace conico-cylindrico, fortiter punctato; elytris profunde sulcatis, subnitidis. 
Long. 2 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Tolé, San Feliz (Champion). 
Rostrum moderately stout, curvate, not elongate, rather shorter than the head and 
thorax, dull, but the apical portion without distinct sculpture; eyes not large, only 
slightly prominent, somewhat widely separated ; antenne inserted quite as far in front 
of the eyes as the width of the ocular interval. Thorax rather narrow, much nar- 
rowed in front, coarsely and moderately closely punctured, with a short deep channel 
in front of the scutellum. LElytra rather narrow, the interstices somewhat narrow but 
flat. Legs short and stout, red, the tarsi blackish, broad, the coxee and trochanters 
black. Under surface almost destitute of pubescence; middle coxe slightly separated. 
- Four specimens. 
In this species the legs are shorter and more robust than they are in A. relictum, to 
which it is similar in appearance. 
55. Apion pulchripes, sp. n. 
Angustulum, nigrum, opacum, minutissime setoso, antennis pedibusque testaceo-fusco variegatis ; rostro parum 
elongato, opaco; prothorace anterius subconstricto, dense, minus argute punctato; elytris profunde 
sulcatis. 
Long. 2 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Northern Sonora (Morrison); Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
Rostrum a little shorter than the head and thorax, moderately stout, rather more 
slender towards the apex, dull, indistinctly sculptured; eyes but little prominent, mode- 
rately widely separated, the space between them rather broad, obsoletely sculptured ; 
antenne flavescent at the base, the club fuscous, their distance from the eyes scarcely so 
great as the width of the ocular interval. Thorax rather small, not elongate, narrowed 
in front, and slightly transversely constricted; the punctuation dense but indistinct ; 
a minute channel in front of the scutellum. LElytra deeply sulcate, the interstices
