PANTOMORUS. 165 
30. Pantomorus strabo, sp.n. (Tab. VII. fig. 1, ¢.) 
Pallide griseo-squamosus, fusco-variegatus, breviter hispidus, prothorace elytrisque convexiusculis ; oculis vix 
prominulis. 
Long. 9 millim. 
Hab. Nicaraeva, Chontales (Belt). 
We have received only a single specimen of this species. It is a male, of slender 
form, greatly resembling P. globicollis, but distinguished from it and all other species 
of the genus by the slight convexity of the eyes. The rostrum is parallel-sided, 
scarcely at all narrowed in front. The antenne are obscure red, with the club black, 
_ the second joint of the funiculus not quite twice as long as the first. The thorax is 
convex longitudinally, as well as rounded at the sides; it is covered with scales and 
squamose setosity, the clothing being a little darker along the middle than at the 
sides. The elytra are clothed with scales, mingled with much thick suberect setosity, 
the colour being nearly white, with fuscous markings across the middle and base; the 
punctures in the striz are very approximate. ‘There are two tubercles on the second 
ventral plate; the front and middle tibie are each armed with a sharp mucro on the 
inner part of the apex, but there is no mucro on the hind tibia. 
31. Pantomorus femoratus, sp.n. (Tab. VII. fig. 2, 3.) 
Longulus, niger, brunneo-griseo-squamosus, tenuiter setosus; prothorace lato, subgloboso; femoribus ante- 
rioribus crassis. 
Long. 10 millim. 
Hab. Nicaragua, San Juan del Sur (Salvin). 
Of this species only one example has been obtained; it is a male and has all the 
tibize furnished with an acute mucro at the apex internally. P. femoratus is as yet 
the only species of Pantomorus known to have the hinder tibie of the male mucronate. 
There are no tubercles on the second ventral plate; but the basal portions of the 
middle and hind cox, the middle of the breast, and the first ventral segment are 
strongly pubescent. ‘The front femora in this sex are more inflated than they are in 
any other Pantomorus. The antenne are rather elongate, the second joint of the 
funiculus not quite twice as long as the first. ‘The rostrum is much narrowed in front, 
the channel on it short but somewhat deep ; the eyes are very convex. ‘The thorax is 
rather short, and is remarkable on account of the great rounding of its sides in front ; 
it is convex longitudinally, obscurely canaliculate along the middle, evenly covered 
with uniformly coloured scales, mixed with very minute recumbent sete. LHlytra 
slender, with the shoulders slightly prominent, bearing very regular series of punctures, 
uniformly covered with pale fawn-coloured scales, and bearing very fine erect sete.
