194 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
the rostrum short, transverse, canaliculate, the nasal plate transverse, triangular, the scrobes descending ; 
eyes not prominent. Prothorax slightly broader than long, feebly constricted at the base, narrowed 
and subtubulate in front, conspicuously punctate; vibrisse long. Elytra long, subparallel in their 
basal half, wider than the prothorax ; punctate-striate, the alternate interstices raised, more distinctly 
setose and wider than the rest, the others feebly convex. Anterior femora strongly clavate. Anterior 
tibi comparatively short and stout, feebly unguiculate, and set with five sharp teeth. Intermediate 
tibie excavate towards the apex within. 
Length 62, breadth 24 millim. (¢.) 
Hab. GuateMaLa, Coban in Alta Vera Paz (Conradt). 
One specimen, assumed to be a male. An elongate form, with parallel-sided, 
sharply maculate elytra (the dark streak on the second interstice, however, is probably 
in part due to abrasion), a subtubulate, variegate prothorax, comparatively short 
anterior tibia, &c. The elytra are shaped as in P. hirtipes; the short, rather stout 
sete are a little longer and more numerous on the alternate interstices than on the 
others. 
13. Pandeleteius hispidus, sp.n. (Tab. VIII. figg. 10, 10 a.) 
Moderately elongate, widened posteriorly, ferruginous; variegated with a dense clothing of pale brown, 
blackish-brown, and whitish scales, the dark scales on the prothorax condensed into a narrow median 
vitta, and those on the elytra into a narrow undulate subapical fascia and a few small scattered spots, 
the whitish scales on the prothorax mainly placed along the sides, and those on the elytra condensed 
into a narrow streak at the base of the fifth interstice, a transverse mark on the disc before the middle, 
and a common, angulate, sharply-defined fascia before the apex ; the upper surface also somewhat thickly 
set with short, curled, stout, decumbent sete, which are uniseriately arranged on the alternate elytral 
interstices, the suture with longer setee towards the apex ; the under surface albo-squamose. Head and 
rostrum together a little shorter than the prothorax, the rostrum very short, shallowly emarginate at the 
tip, the scrobes deep, sinuous, and descending; eyes depressed. Prothorax a little longer than broad, 
produced in front, constricted at the base and before the middle, sparsely punctate ; vibrisss represented 
by a densely squamose dentiform prominence. Elytra much broader than the prothorax, widening to 
the middle, finely punctate-striate, the alternate interstices somewhat raised. Legs rather stout, 
setose ; anterior femora moderately clavate ; anterior tibiee curved, stout, slightly elongated, unguiculate, 
and armed with 4 small teeth. 
Length 33-47, breadth 13-14 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Omilteme in Guerrero 8000 feet (H/. H. Smith). 
Three specimens, A small, comparatively short, posteriorly widened form, with 
stout, curled, decumbent sete (conspicuous on the frons and alternate elytral inter- 
stices), a fusco-vittate prothorax, apically albo-fasciate elytra, deep descending scrobes, 
rather short, setose legs, and the vibrisse represented by an angular densely squamose 
prominence. Its nearest ally is P. brevipes. 
14. Pandeleteius brevipes, sp.n. (Tab. VIII. fig. 11.) 
Oblong, piceous or obscure ferruginous ; variegated with a dense clothing of rather coarse brown, blackish- 
brown, and whitish scales, the whitish scales mainly condensed into a narrow sinuous stripe on each 
side of the prothorax, an oblique spot or patch on the outer part of the disc of the elytra just before the 
middle and a common sinuate subapical fascia, and the dark scales sometimes into a transverse scutellar 
patch and a narrow angulate fascia in front of the whitish one, the upper surface also set with short,
