162 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
23. Pantomorus rudis, sp. n. (Tab. VI. fig. 22.) 
Niger, subnudus ; prothorace magno, lato, rugoso ; elytris brevibus. 
Long. 7 millim. 
Hab. Guatemata (Sallé), San Gerénimo (Champion), Chimaltenango (Conradt) ; 
Costa Rica (Van Patten). 
Antenne stout, rather long; second joint of the funiculus about twice as long as the 
third. Rostrum short, deeply canaliculate on the middle, subcarinate on each side. 
Thorax broad, much rounded at the sides and narrowed in front, densely rugose; with 
an indistinct channel along the middle, becoming deep at the base. Elytra short, 
with series of coarse punctures, emarginate at the base, and near the obliterated 
shoulders with a short prominence that is somewhat turned upwards. Legs stout. 
and long. 
We have ‘received about a dozen examples of this species. In some of them there 
is an obscure squamosity that renders the surface somewhat grisescent; these are 
probably quite fresh examples, and this slight clothing is no doubt very readily 
rubbed off. The scrobes are broad, slightly broader than they are even in P. albo- 
signatus. 
.) 
Group 2.—Middle tibie of male armed at the apex internally with a sharp 
mucro projecting inwards. 
24. Pantomorus distans, sp.n. (Tab. VI. fig. 23.) 
Elongatus, niger, fulvo-ochraceo-squamosus; elytris sutura in medio denudata, setis subtilissimis, erectis, 
adspersis. 
Long. 9-10 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba, Caldera (Champion). 
Antenne elongate; second joint of the funiculus more than twice as long as the 
first, the following joints each elongate. Rostrum rather long, very deeply canalicu- 
late, subcarinate at the sides. ‘Thorax greatly rounded at the sides, densely covered 
with tawny scales, with a broad channel along the middle in front. Elytra slightly 
broader at the base than the thorax, the shoulders being a little oblique; densely 
covered with scales similar to those on the thorax, with an indefinite denuded space 
on the middle of the suture, near which there may be a few greenish scales; there 
are some very fine, erect, pallid sete. Legs elongate; a well-marked mucro at the 
apex of the front tibiz, and a smaller one on each of the middle tibia. Two speci- 
mens. 
This species resembles P. picturatus rather than any species of the group in which 
I place it; although the mucro on the intermediate tibia is small, its existence is 
certain.
