196 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
club excepted) ferruginous: above uniformly clothed with brownish-white or cinereous scales, which 
become opalescent or golden on the femora and under surface. Head and rostrum together as long as 
the prothorax, the rostrum deeply emarginate at the apex, flattened, and finely canaliculate down the 
middle, the nasal plate triangular, the scrobes narrow and rather long; antenne with joint 2 of 
the funiculus much shorter than 1, the club nearly as long as 3-7 united; eyes somewhat prominent. 
Prothorax about as long as broad, rounded at the sides, constricted at the base and towards the apex, 
closely punctate: vibrissee long. Elytra much wider than the prothorax, conjointly produced at the 
apex, subparallel in ¢, widened towards the middle in 9 ; finely punctate-striate, the interstices flat 
on the disc, convex towards the sides and apex, the suture set with long, fine, scattered hairs towards 
the apex in 9. Anterior coxe subcontiguous in 3, more distantin Q. Anterior femora very stout, 
clavate. Anterior tibiee very long and slender, curved at the tip, sharply unguiculate, ciliate, and armed 
with numerous small teeth. Anterior tarsi elongate. Intermediate and posterior legs slender. Tarsal 
claws long. 
Length 54-74, breadth 13-23 millim. (¢ 2.) 
Hab. Mexico (coll. Sommer}; Mus. Brit.), Ventanas in Durango (Hége), San Andres 
Tuxtla, Yolos, Capulalpam, Parada (Sallé), Oaxaca (Mus. Brit., Hoge). 
The types of this species from the Sommer collection have been lent us by Mr. Janson. 
It is easily recognized by the greatly elongated anterior legs, the uniform brownish- 
white vestiture, the basally and apically constricted prothorax, the deeply emarginate 
rostrum, and the long claws. ‘The anterior coxe of the male are almost as approximate 
as in Hadromerus. The abraded specimens before me have the body piceous and 
the legs red. 
17. Pandeleteius hirtipes, sp. n. (Tab. VIII. figg. 14, 14a, ¢.) 
3. Elongate, rather convex, robust, dull, piceous, mottled and streaked with ferruginous ; variegated with 
a dense clothing of small, pale brown and whitish scales, which have a cupreous tinge in certain lights, 
and also set with very short, scattered, adpressed hairs, the anterior coxe, the underside of the rostrum, 
and the prosternum clothed with very long pallid hairs, the rest of the under surface also thickly pilose. 
Head and rostrum sparsely punctate, the rostrum very short, flattened, feebly emarginate, strongly 
canaliculate, the scrobes short ; eyes not prominent. Prothorax transversely convex, much broader than 
long, widening posteriorly, and abruptly constricted at the base, narrow and feebly constricted in front ; 
rather sparsely punctate, the convex portion sharply canaliculate; vibrisse long. Elytra long, sub- 
parallel, not wider than the prothorax, transversely depressed below the base, abruptly declivous behind ; 
punctate-striate, the interstices more or less convex, the alternate ones a little more raised than the 
others, the third tumid at the base. Anterior femora very stout, clavate. Anterior tibie long, bowed 
inwards towards the apex, closely ciliate, unguiculate, and armed with numerous small teeth ; intermediate 
and posterior tibie feebly denticulate and closely fringed with long hairs in their apical half, the 
intermediate pair with a small claw. Tarsi hairy, the anterior pair elongated. 
Length 63, breadth 22 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Ciudad in Durango 8100 feet (Champion). 
One specimen. An elongate robust form, with hairy prosternum and legs, long 
anterior tarsi, basally widened, sulcate prothorax, parallel-sided elytra, short scrobes, 
&c. P. hirtipes is much more elongate than the variable P. maculicollis, an insect 
also occurring at Ciudad.
