160 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
these leave a broad area along the suture black; the erect sete are very fine, rather 
long and numerous. 
A series of nearly twenty examples was obtained of this species; it exhibits but 
little variation. 
18. Pantomorus picturatus, sp.n. (Tab. VI. fig. 19, 3.) 
Niger, ochraceo-viridi- vel viridi-squamosus; prothorace subvittato; elytris vitta suturali nigra, breviter 
setosis. 
Long. 7-84 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Tapachula in Chiapas (Hége) ; Guatemata (Sallé), Zapote (Champion), 
Tepan (Conradt); Costa Rica (Van Patten). 
Antenne very long; second joint of funiculus twice as long as the first. Rostrum 
rather long, deeply canaliculate. Thorax much rounded at the sides, but little 
narrowed in front; black, but clothed with ochraceous-viridescent scales in such a 
manner as to leave three more or less obsolete longitudinal black vitte. LElytra with 
rather fine series of punctures, densely clothed with scales, the lateral parts of which 
are greenish-yellow ; the suture is broadly black from the base to the apex, and the 
scales next the black portion are usually more viridescent than those outside them ; the 
erect setosity is short and is pallid in colour. The male is considerably more slender 
than the female. 
This insect may be readily distinguished from P. dorsalis by the colour, and by the 
different setosity on the elytra; it has always some scales on the thorax, and the 
antennz have the second joint of the funiculus considerably longer and more slender 
than it is in P. dorsalis. Sixteen examples are before me. 
19. Pantomorus circumcinctus, sp.n. (Tab. VI. fig. 20.) 
Niger, prothorace elytrisque versus marginem exteriorem vitta tenui sulphureo-squamosa ; tibiis intermediis et 
posterioribus rufis. 
Long. 8-9 millim. 
Hab. GuatEMaLa, San Gerdnimo (Champion). 
Antenne very elongate. Rostrum rather long, deeply canaliculate, not squamose 
and only sparingly setose. Thorax strongly transverse, much rounded at the sides, 
free from squamosity except at the sides, black, a little shining, rather ‘closely but 
subobsoletely sculptured. Elytra with series of large but not deep punctures, these 
becoming obsolete behind ; near the sides with an elongate slender vitta of yellow or 
yellowish-white scales or setee—continuous with a similar one at the sides of the thorax, 
—this near the apex extending inwards but not quite meeting the one on the opposite 
elytron; there are a few sete at the apex. The front legs are very long, black, with 
the tibize picescent or black; the intermediate and hind tibie are distinctly red. Under 
surface cluthed with pallid scales or setosity. 
About a dozen specimens were procured of this distinct species.
