13. Pantomorus nobilis. 
Naupactus nobilis, Boh. in Schénh. Gen. Cure. vi. 1, p. 19°.

Hab. Mexico, Alvarado (coll. Chevrolat 1). 
The type of this species communicated to us by Dr. Aurivillius from Chevrolat’s 
collection does not quite agree with any other example before me. It comes very 
close indeed to some of the greenish-grey unicolorous examples of P. crinitus ; but the 
head is more convex between the eyes, and the rostrum more deeply canaliculate, so 
that it is possible the insect may prove to be distinct from P. crinitus. 
14. Pantomorus sobrinus, sp.n. (Tab. VI. fig. 18.) 
Niger, capite prothoraceque parce squamosis; elytris densius fusco-griseo-squamosis, haud variegatis, setis 
erectis, brevibus, tenuibus vestitis ; tibiis piceis. 
Long. 8-9 millim, 
Hab. Guatemaa, Capetillo, Duenas (Champion). 
Antenne rather long and slender; second joint of funiculus long and slender, more 
than one and a half times as long as the first. Rostrum moderately long, canali- 
culate. Thorax strongly transverse, much narrowed in front, sprinkled with minute 
scales, the interspaces black and shining. Elytra with very regular series of rather 
fine punctures, moderately densely covered with minute scales, which are tawny- 
fuscous, greyish along the flanks, in colour, and bearing short, very fine, quite erect 
hairs. 
We have received ten examples of this species. It is allied to P. crinitus, though 
the two are not very much alike when seen together; but, independently of the facies, 
it may be distinguished by the fact that the mucro of the front tibia—which is present 
in all the varieties of P. crinitws—can scarcely be detected in P. sobrinus. I do not 
perceive any sexual distinctions. The depth of the colour is variable. 
15. Pantomorus subcinctus, sp. n. 
Niger, minus dense griseo-squamosus, elytris setis erectis regulariter vestitis; prothorace vitta sublaterali, 
elytrisque signaturis post humeros densius pallide-squamosis. 
Long. 73-8 millim. 
Hab, GUATEMALA, near the city at an elevation of 5000 feet (Salvin), San Gerénimo 
(Champion). | 
Antenne moderately long and slender ; second joint of funiculus only one and a half 
times as long as the first. Rostrum quite short, very finely canaliculate. Thorax 
strongly transverse, with very little sculpture, and only sparingly squamose, so that 
the surface between the scales is quite distinct and is shining; there is no trace of 
any channel ; on the flanks there is a line of dense squamosity of a pallid colour, but
