PANDELETEIUS. 189 
2. Pandeleteius boops, sp.n. (Tab. VIII. figg. 1, La, b, ¢.) 
Elongate, piceous or obscure ferruginous, the tibie ferruginous; densely, uniformly, clothed with rather 
coarse pale brown or whitish scales. Head and restrum together slightly longer than the prothorax, 
the rostrum short, broad, hollowed down the middle, deeply emarginate at the tip, and with a sharply- 
defined transverse groove between the points of insertion of the antenne, the scrobes angulate and 
descending ; eyes very prominent ; antenne rather long and slender, joint 2 of the funiculus scarcely 
shorter than 1, 3-7 decreasing in length, the club as long as 4-7 united. Prothorax transverse, 
subcylindrical, feebly constricted at the base and before the middle, closely, finely punctate; vibrissx 
long. Elytra long, much broader than the prothorax, widening to the middle, strongly so in Q, 
transversely depressed at the base, the sutural angles subacuminate and almost contiguous ; punctate- 
striate, the interstices 3, 5, and 7 raised, except on the disc anteriorly. Legs rather slender, the anterior 
pair elongated; anterior femora abruptly clavate; anterior tibie bowed at the tip, sharply unguiculate, 
and armed with about 6 minute teeth. 
Length 53-6, breadth 13-23 millim. (¢ @.) 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 4000 feet (Champion). 
One pair. This insect has the vestiture uniformly coloured as in P. tibialis, but 
differs from it (and from the Colombian Menetypus hadromeroides, Kirsch, also*) in 
having a transversely sulcate rostrum, prominent eyes, a long second joint to the 
funiculus, a subcylindrical prothorax, &c. 
3. Pandeleteius femoralis, sp. n. 
Moderately elongate, piceous, the legs in great part ferruginous; densely clothed with opaque whitish and 
pale brown scales, the latter condensed on the elytra into several irregular more or less confluent spots 
(one near the suture towards the apex and two on the fourth interstice below the base more conspicuous. 
than the rest, the scales on the interstices 1-3 almost wholly white to far beyond the middle). Head 
and rostrum together a little shorter than the prothorax, the rostrum broad, widening outwards (as seen 
from above), canaliculate and slightly hollowed, deeply emarginate at the tip, the nasal plate triangular 
and margined behind, the scrobes descending to the lower margin ; antenns: with joints 1 and 2 of the 
funiculus equal in length, the club long; eyes very prominent. Prothorax about as long as broad, 
produced in front, rounded at the sides, strongly constricted at the base and before the middle, coarsely 
punctate (as seen abraded); vibrisse long. Elytra moderately long, a little broader than the prothorax, 
gradually widening to the middle, transversely depressed below the base ; finely punctate-striate, the 
alternate interstices slightly raised posteriorly, the suture abruptly declivous on the apical declivity. 
Anterior femora enormously developed, very strongly clavate. Anterior tibie long, curved at the tip, 
strongly unguiculate, and armed with 6 small equidistant teeth. 
Length 44, breadth 14 millim. (@.) 
Hab. Mexico (Mus. Lrit.). 
One rather abraded specimen, injured by pinning, but with the left elytron intact 
and the scales undisturbed. ‘his is one of the two examples from the Jekel collection 
representing the Mexican P. ‘idialis in the British Museum, and the locality perhaps 
requires confirmation. The insect, however, may readily be known by the enormously 
developed, very strongly clavate anterior femora, the elongate second joint to the 
funiculus, the very prominent eyes, the deeply cleft apex of the rostrum, and the 
faintly maculate outer half of the elytra. P. femoralis may prove to be of Colombian 
origin, but it is undescribed in any case.
