of the antenne. Thorax with a short, very deep canalicular impression at the base in 
the middle; the sculpture moderately coarse and not close, obscured by the clothing. 
Elytra with fine, erect, short hairs, the greenish-grey squamosity not so distinct in 
some places and thus giving rise to the appearance of two somewhat abbreviate and 
indefinite black bands. 
Fourteen examples have been obtained of this species; they do not vary much. 
There is a well-marked difference between the sexes, the male having the rostrum 
longer, more distinctly carinate on each side, and the antenne a little longer and 
thicker than in the female. 
9, Pantomorus facialis, sp. n. 
Niger, irregulariter sculpturatus, griseo-squamosus, brevissime squamoso-hispidus ; rostro late et profunde 
canaliculato, utrinque evidentius carinato. 
Long. 7-8 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Putla (Salié). 
Antenne moderately stout, very long, the second joint elongate, but only about half 
as long as the third joint. Rostrum moderately long, not rugose, bearing a few scales ; 
the channel very deep and broad in front, the edges distinctly subcarinate, so that the 
lateral depression in front of the eye and the insertion of the antenna on each side is 
unusually distinct. Thorax short and broad, canaliculate along the middle, the channel 
deep at the base. Elytra with the punctures rather coarse. Three specimens. 
I have not described the squamosity, as the examples are a good deal abraded; but 
the scales evidently do not form any definite pattern, and probably are very easily 
removed. P. facialis may be distinguished from P. mollis by the hispid clothing 
being very short, and the head being broader and with broader channel, as wel! as by 
the antenne being a little thicker and shorter. 
10. Pantomorus asperatus, sp. n. 
Fusco-squamosus, griseo-lineatus, dense breviterque fusco-hispidus ; antennis longioribus. 
Long. 63 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Acapulco (Hége, H. H. Smith), Dos Arroyos in Guerrero (H. ZH. 
Smith). 
This insect is narrower in form than P. albosignatus, and has much longer antenne ; 
it is remarkable on account of the character of the sete, which are shorter, stouter, 
and more numerous than they are in most of the other hispid species. The antenne 
are rather stout, very long, the last joint of the funiculus more than twice as long as 
broad, the club very long. The rostrum is long, depressed along the middle, rather 
deeply canaliculate, carinate on each side. Thorax stout, rather coarsely sculptured, 
fuscous, with five vague pale vitte, the central one quite indistinct, the outside one
