APION. 81 
76. Apion terminale, sp. n. 
Angustum, nigerrimum, nitidum, tenuiter albido-setosum, antennis pedibusque testaceis ; rostro brevi, recto ; 
elytris striatis, ante apicem impressis, apice subtumidulo. 
Long. 2 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Amula in Guerrero in August (H. H. Smith). 
Closely allied to A. longicolle, but with the femora as well as the tibie and tarsi 
yellow; the thorax shorter, and the upper surface bearing a scanty scattered setosity, 
the unusual formation of the apices of the elytra more pronounced, and the sides of the 
breast quite covered with white setosity. 
One example. 
77. Apion inflatipenne, sp.n. (Tab. III. fig. 19.) 
Breve, nigrum, nudum; elytris viridi-cyaneis, latissimis, ad basin quasi deplanatis, subtiliter sulcatis ; pedibus 
nigris, femoribus in medio rufis. 
Long. 27-34 millim. 
Hab. Guatemaua, El Reposo (Champion). 
Rostrum rather stout, cylindrical, curved, longer than the head and thorax, punctate, 
shining; eyes somewhat convex ; antenne inserted a little behind the middle of the 
rostrum. Thorax rather short, greatly narrowed in front, somewhat finely but not 
densely punctate, with a short, deep, foveiform channel in front of the base in the 
middle. Elytra remarkably broad, appearing almost as if inflated, but somewhat 
deplanate in front, with rather fine, not deep sulci and very broad, flat interstices, 
somewhat dull. Under surface without any setosity. Middle coxe well separated ; 
hind legs black, with the larger part of the femora red. 
Two specimens. 
78. Apion latipenne, sp. n. 
Breve, nigrum, nitidum ; elytris viridi-cyaneis, latis, convexis, profunde minus late sulcatis ; prothorace conico, 
parce punctato; femoribus late rufis. 
Long. 24 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Pefta Blanca (Champion). 
Rostrum rather short, cylindrical, shining, sparingly punctate, sulcate above on each 
side; antenne inserted about one-third of the length from the base; eyes but little 
prominent. Thorax somewhat small, greatly narrowed in front, rather finely and 
sparingly punctured. Elytra very broad and short, very convex, much narrowed in 
front, with moderately deep and broad grooves. Legs not very stout; middle coxe 
but little separated ; femora red, except at the tips. One specimen. 
Though similar in appearance to 4. inflatipenne, this is, no doubt, distinct from that 
species, as it differs in numerous slight particulars, among others in having a very fine, 
minute, and scanty setosity on the thorax and elytra.
