PANTOMORUS. 157 
placed on the flank. Elytra fuscous, with a narrow elongate pallid stripe near the 
suture, a lateral elongate mark, and between these with more or less indistinct smaller 
marks; the short dense sete give them a rough appearance. Four specimens. 
One of the examples of this species has a curious malformation of the antenne, 
there being only five joints in place of seven in the funiculus of each, and the joint 
preceding the club bearing a small tubercular prominence. 
11. Pantomorus affinis, sp. n. 
Niger, fere uniformiter griseo-squamosus, sutura lateribusque pallidioribus, hispidus ; rostro in medio canalicu- 
lato, utrinque carinato. 
Long. 63 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Oaxaca (Hoge). 
I have before me only two specimens of this species, both apparently of the male 
sex. Though very similar to the more uniformly coloured examples of P. crinitus, I 
cannot associate them therewith, the rostrum being longer, distinctly carinate on each 
side, and the antenne longer and stouter; as these characters are not likely to be so 
conspicuous in the female, that sex will no doubt be very difficult to distinguish. The 
antenne are remarkably long, moderately stout, the second joint of the funiculus quite 
twice as long as the first. The rostrum is a little depressed along the middle, with the 
lateral carinee strongly marked, the channel only moderately deep and fine. ‘The 
thorax is almost uniformly covered with scales, not vittate. ‘The elytra bear very 
distinct fine erect sete, and the punctures in the strie are large. 
12. Pantomorus crinitus. 
Naupactus crinitus, Boh. in Schénh. Gen. Cure. vi. 1, p. 20°. 
Pantomerus crinitus, Chevr. Bull. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1879, p. cxxx. 
Hab. Mexico !, Orizaba, Toxpam, Vera Cruz, Playa Vicente (Sallé), Atoyac (H. H. 
Smith), Cordova, Tapachula in Chiapas (L/6ge). 
This I look upon as a very variable species, not being able to find any good 
distinctive characters for separating some forty or fifty examples of it. It varies 
greatly in colour, being nearly uniformly greenish-grey, or of the yellowish-grey colour 
described by Boheman, with metallic sides, or pallid grey with brown spots. It includes 
not only the examples labelled P. crinttus in collections, but also most of those that I 
have seen named P. nobilis. 
The antenne are quite slender, the rostrum finely canaliculate ; the scales are small 
and neatly arranged; the sculpture is fine, and the surface bears fine, not very 
numerous erect hairs.
