PAN DELETELUS., 191 
6. Pandeleteius clavisetis, sp. n. (Tab. VIII. figy. 4, 42.) 
Oblong, ferruginous or obscure ferruginous ; thickly clothed with large pale brown or whitish scales, those on 
the rostrum and under surface opalescent, the prothorax with a faint infuscate median vitta; the upper 
surface and legs also rather closely set with stout, suberect, blunt sete, which are very conspicuous on 
the head and alternate elytral interstices. Head and rostrum together shorter than the prothorax, the 
rostrum very short, flattened, and angularly emarginate at the tip, the scrobes descending, deep; joint 2 
of the funiculus very little longer than 3; eyes moderately prominent. Prothorax about as long as 
broad, somewhat produced and subtubulate in front, constricted anteriorly and at the base, finely 
punctate; vibrisse represented by 2 or 3 fine hairs. Elytra much broader than the prothorax, com- 
paratively short, gradually widened to the middle, finely punctate-striate, the interstices almost flat. 
Anterior femora stout, clavate. Anterior tibie very slightly elongated, finely unguiculate, and armed with 
about 5 small teeth. Tarsal claws long. 
Length 32-4, breadth 14-12 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Omilteme and Chilpancingo in Guerrero (H. I. Smith). 
Two specimens, probably male and female. This small species has the anterior 
legs shorter than usual in Pandeleteius; the scales uniformly coloured above; the 
sete stout, blunt, and suberect, and especially conspicuous on the front of the head; 
the scrobes descending to the lower surface of the rostrum; and the vibrissz reduced 
to twu or three fine hairs. 
7. Pandeleteius flexilis, sp. n. (Tab. VIII. figg. 5, 4 a.) 
Moderately elongate, rather narrow, robust, nigro-piceous; variegated with a dense clothing of dark brown 
and blackish scales, the elytra in some specimens with a transverse or oblique spot on the outer part of 
the disc just before the middle, and a common, narrow, undulate, subapical fascia, whitish or pale brown ; 
the upper surface and legs also thickly set with short, stout, curled, decumbent, setiform hairs, those on 
the elytra uniseriately arranged down each interstice. Head and rostrum together much shorter than 
the prothorax, the rostrum very short, with a transverse triangular nasal plate, the scrobes descending ; 
eyes rather small, moderately prominent. Prothorax a little longer than broad, produced in front, 
constricted anteriorly and at the base, coarsely punctate ; vibrisse long. LElytra wider than the pro- 
thorax, moderately long, subparallel (¢), or slightly widened to the middle (Q); coarsely punctate- 
striate, the interstices feebly convex. Anterior femora clavate. Anterior tibise comparatively short, 
unguiculate, and armed with 4 or 5 small teeth. 
Length 41-44, breadth 15-13 millim. (d 9.) 
Hab. Mexico, Ventanas in Durango (Hoge) ; Guatemata, near the city (Champion). 
Nine specimens, all but one from Guatemala. A narrow, robust, obscurely variegate 
form, very like a Sitones, thickly set with short, curled, decumbent, dark, setiform 
hairs, which are equally distributed along each elytral interstice, and with the legs 
stout and the anterior tibiz comparatively short. 
8. Pandeleteius crispus, sp.n. (Tab. VIII. tigg. 6, 6a, ¢.) 
Elongate, robust, subcuneiform, piceous, the antenne and tips of the tarsi ferruginous; densely clothed with 
brown scales, the prothorax with an indistinct darker median vitta and the elytra with two oblique fuscous 
or blackish fascize, the second of which is followed by a more or less distinct, common, curved, pale 
band; the upper surface also somewhat thickly set (the legs included) with stout, curled, decumbent 
setee, the sete on the elytra much longer, suberect, and confined to the alternate interstices, those along 
the third clustered into a small tuft at the commencement of the apical declivity, the suture also with
