PANTOMORUS. 159 
frequently tinged with yellow by some efflorescence. Elytra rather elongate, the series 
of punctures somewhat indistinct, the interstices more densely clothed with scales than 
the thorax; at the anterior part of the sides with two separated marks of paler and 
denser squamosity ; armed with fine, long, erect, scanty hairs; there is usually a slight 
condensation of the scales along the suture. 
A good series of this insect, which is known in collections as P. subcinctus, Jekel, 
was obtained by Mr. Salvin, and one specimen by Mr. Champion. It comes somewhat 
near to P. crinitus ; but the elytra are usually more elongate, and their clothing is 
different from what it is in any of the varieties of P. crinitus. 
16. Pantomorus faber, sp. n. 
Niger, sat dense squamosus, antennarum scapo tibiisque rufis; elytris ovalibus, ad latera circaque suturam 
pallide squamosis, setis tenuibus erectis parce vestitis. 
Long. 7-8 millim. 
Hab. Costa Rica, Volcan de Irazu 6000 to 7000 feet (Rogers). 
Antenne rather long, moderately stout; second joint of funiculus less than one and 
a half times as Jong as the first; the joint before the club nearly twice as long as broad. 
Rostrum sparingly squamose, not elongate, the channel deep. ‘Thorax strongly trans- 
verse, much rounded at the sides; black, with a line of dense pallid squamosity on the 
flank and with a slight condensation of the scanty scales along a vague space on each 
side of the middle ; obsoletely canaliculate. Elytra slender, curvate at the sides; with 
an elongate lateral mark of pallid scales, twice nearly interrupted by the dark colour, 
and also with pallid scales distributed broadly along the sutural region; the erect 
hairs fine and rather long, but scanty. Legs red, with the femora more or less 
obscure. ‘Two specimens. 
The only species this much resembles is P. subcinctus; but besides differing from 
that insect in colour and in its more oval elytra, it has the second joint of the funi- 
culus rather shorter and thicker. 
17. Pantomorus dorsalis, sp. n. 
Angustus, niger, capite prothoraceque griseo-setosis, hoc ad latera elytrisque griseo-squamosis; his ad 
suturam late nigricantibus, setis erectis tenuibus vestitis. 
Long. 7-8 millim. 
Hab. Guaremata, Capetillo (Champion). 
Rostrum deeply canaliculate on the middle. Antenne long, moderately thick ; 
second joint of funiculus not quite twice as long as the first. ‘Thorax rather short, 
much rounded at the sides, scarcely at all narrowed in front; it and the head and 
rostrum are of an intense black colour, rendered grisescent by depressed pallid sete ; on 
the flank there is a longitudinal area clothed with pallid scales. The elytra bear 
series of very coarse punctures, and at the sides are clothed with griseous scales, but
