PANDELETEIUS. 193 
longer than broad, produced at the apex, constricted anteriorly and at the base, sparsely, finely punctate; 
vibrissz long. Elytra much broader than the prothorax, widening to the middle, punctate-striate, the 
alternate interstices raised, the others also more or less convex. Anterior femora feebly clavate. Anterior 
tibiee stout, moderately long, unguiculate, and armed with 5 or 6 sharp teeth. Intermediate tibia 
hollowed near the apex within in ¢. 
Length 5-72, breadth 2-2,9, millim. (¢ 2.) 
Hab. Guatemata (Mus. Brit.), near the city (Salvin, Champion), San Gerdénimo 
(Champion). 
Eight examples, five of which are from Baja Vera Paz. Very like the Mexican 
P. crispus, but with the elytral sete extremely short and inconspicuous (as in 
P. varicolor), the rostrum more deeply emarginate at the tip, the prothorax faintly 
trivittate. The less clavate anterior femora, the relatively longer prothorax, and the 
differently marked elytra separate P. cuneatus from P. varicolor. ‘The specimens with 
conspicuously hollowed intermediate tibiz are assumed to be males. 
11. Pandeleteius obliquus, sp.n. (Tab. VIII. fizg. 8, 8a, b.) 
Elongate, obscure ferruginous, the elytra fuscous, obliquely fulvu-bifasciate, the subapical fascia extending 
down the middle of the disc to the tip; the reddish portions of the upper surface clothed with very small 
cupreous, and the rest with darker, scales, and also set with short, curled, decumbent, inconspicuous 
sete, the under surface with larger, opalescent, pallid scales. Head and rostrum together much shorter 
than the prothorax, the rostrum extremely short, feebly canaliculate down the middle, and subcarinate 
along the sides, the nasal plate transverse, triangular, the scrobes long, sinuous, and deep ; eyes large, 
depressed ; joint 2 of the funiculus a little longer than 3. Prothorax about as long as broad, produced 
in front, feebly constricted anteriorly and narrowed at the base, closely, rather coarsely punctate ; 
vibrissee rather short. Elytra elongate, subparallel at the base and gradually widened thence to the 
middle, the humeri rather prominent ; punctate-striate, the alternate interstices raised, the third some- 
what tumid at the commencement of the apical declivity. Anterior femora very stout and strongly 
clavate. Anterior tibie stout, slightiy sinuate, comparatively short, feebly unguiculate at the tip, and 
with an interrupted series (4.3) of 7 long sharp teeth (fig. 8b). Intermediate tibie hollowed near the 
apex within. 
Length 73, breadth 24 millim. (3?) 
Hab. Mexico, Xautipa in Guerrero (/f. H. Sinith). 
One specimen, somewhat immature and with the larger scales on the upper surface 
partially abraded. Near P. crispus and P. cuneatus, but with the rostrum deeply, 
triangularly emarginate at the tip, the prothorax less constricted in front, the anterior 
femora strongly clavate, the anterior tibie interruptedly denticulate, the humeri more 
prominent. The elytral sete are short, curled, and inconspicuous, as in P. cuneatus 
and P. varicolor. 
12. Pandeleteius varicolor, sp.n. (Tab. VIII. fig. 9, 3.) 
Elongate, rather convex, dull, piceous, the antenne and the tips of the tarsi ferruginous; densely clothed 
with rather large, pale brown, whitish, and fuscous scales, the darker scales on the prothorax clustered 
into an irregular median vitta, which extends narrowly on to the head, the white scales on the elytra 
condensed into an angulate subapical fascia and various scattered spots, and the pale brown ones into a 
long streak on the third interstice, the upper surface also set with very short, scattered, curled, decumbent 
setw, the scales on the under surface opalescent, the legs annulate. Head and rostrum finely punctate,
