PANTOMORUWS. 155 
rately short, very densely and finely sculptured; black, setose, with a very distinct band 
of pale scales on the flank, another between this and the middle, and a much more 
slender one along the centre. Elytra with numerous rather long, erect, black sete ; 
black, with an elongate lateral mark of pallid scales, and between this and the suture with 
another line of scales—this line commences at the base of the third interstice, but then 
passes to the fourth interstice, and is interrupted just before the middle, reappearing 
behind the middle as a small spot on the third interstice, and as a longer mark just 
before the apex; there are also numerous scales about the sutural portion; the punc- 
tures of the strie are rather large and are quite distinct, not being concealed by the 
squamosity. Legs obscure red. 
We have received seven specimens of this species; those in Sallé’s collection are 
labelled Naupactus picipes, Chevr. The very dense fine sculpture of the thorax, the 
third joint of the antenne not so long as in most of the other species, and the markings 
are the characters that will lead to its recognition. 
The three specimens with an uninterrupted line down the elytra that I have treated 
as a variety may possibly prove to be distinct. 
7. Pantomorus salvini, sp.n. (Tab. VI. fig. 17.) 
Minor, gracilis, setis erectis minus brevibus vestitus, niger, pedibus rufis; elytris linea suturali aliaque laterali 
leetee viridi-squamosis. 
Long. 53 millim. . 
Hab. Gvuatemata, Aceytuno 5100 feet (Salvin). 
Rostrum densely sculptured, almost without scales, deeply canaliculate, and with 
an obscure lateral margin in front. Thorax rather coarsely rugose, with an indistinct 
median line, and a still more obsolete lateral vitta. Elytra with series of large, very 
distinct punctures; the sutural and lateral vitte of green scales very distinct and 
regular. 
Only two specimens of this species were obtained ; it is one of the easiest to recognize 
of the genus. 
g. Pantomorus mollis, sp. n. 
Niger, minus dense griseo-viridi-squamosus, subvittatus, breviter hispidus; rostro profunde canaliculato, 
utrinque carinato. 
Long. 64-7 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Chilpancingo in Guerrero (fHége). 
Not very densely clothed with greyish scales tinged slightly with green; these are 
more condensed in certain places, so as to give a slight appearance of longitudinal 
bands. ‘The antenne are black, elongate, the second joint of the funiculus nearly 
twice as long as the first. Head and rostrum setose and sparingly squamose, deeply 
canaliculate along the middle, with a slight carination of the side over the insertion
