PANDELETEIUS. 197 
18. Pandeleteius inflatus, sp. n. (Tab. VIII. figg. 15, 15a.) 
Geniostomus inflatus, Jekel, in litt. 
Oblong-piriform, robust, piceous, the tips of the tarsi and the antenne ferruginous; variegate with small 
pale brown, fuscous, and whitish scales, which have a cupreous lustre in certain lights, the brown scales 
condensed into a small triangular patch at the base of the head and two faint sinuous stripes on the 
disc of the prothorax; the whitish scales on the elytra sometimes condensed into a conspicuous sub- 
quadrate patch on the disc before the middle and various oblong, subquadrate, confluent patches on the 
apical declivity, and the intervening spaces on the disc fusco-maculate; the ventral surface pilose and 
clothed with rather large iridescent scales. Head and rostrum sparsely punctate, the rostrum very 
short, transverse, flattened, and canaliculate, feebly emarginate and fringed with long bristly hairs in 
front; eyes not prominent. Prothorax about as long as broad, feebly constricted at the base and 
towards the apex, moderately rounded at the sides, somewhat produced in front; closely punctate ; 
vibrissee long. Elytra subparallel at the base, and there a little wider than the prothorax, rapidly, 
arcuately dilated thence to the middle, and with the apices rather broadly conjointly produced ; 
punctate-striate, the interstices feebly convex throughout. Anterior tibie moderately long, unguiculate, 
and armed with numerous small teeth. 
Length 72-8, breadth 33-31 millim. (9 ?) 
Hab. Mexico (Mus. Brit.; Solari, ex coll. Jekel), Omilteme in Guerrero (H. H. 
Smith). 
Three specimens, the one from Omilteme wanting the conspicuous subquadrate 
whitish patch on each elytron. A species easily identified by its broadly dilated, 
moderately convex elytra, the transverse, shallowly emarginate rostrum, and the feebly 
constricted, subtubulate prothorax. 
19. Pandeleteius laticeps, sp.n. (Tab. VIII. figg. 16, 16a, ¢.) 
Moderately elongate, robust, piceous, the legs and antenne in part ferruginous; variegated with a dense 
clothing of brown, fuscous, and cinereous scales, the cinereous scales condensed into a faint transverse 
fascia on the outer part of the disc just before the middle and showing a tendency to form a large apical 
patch, the brown scales with a brassy or cupreous tint, the under surface with scattered hairs between 
the scales. Head large, broad, together with the rostrum nearly as long as the prothorax, the rostrum 
transverse, flattened, narrowly sulcate, emarginate at the tip, the nasal plate short, triangular, the scrobes 
narrow, short, and deep; eyes not prominent, somewhat oval. Prothorax a little broader than long, 
convex, rounded at the sides, abruptly constricted at the base and also constricted anteriorly, closely 
punctate; vibrissee long. Elytra much broader than the prothorax, subparallel at the base, gradually 
widened to the middle, transversely depressed anteriorly, abruptly declivous at the apex in 2 ; punctate- 
striate, the alternate interstices somewhat convex, 3 tumid at the base. Anterior femora clavate. 
Anterior tibiz moderately long, curved at the tip, unguiculate and armed with about 7 small teeth. 
Length 53-64, breadth 23-2} millim. (¢ Q.) 
Hab. Mexico, Orizaba (Fenyes, ex coll. Bovie), Cerro de Palmas (Hége), Sierra de 
Ajusco (Hay, in U.S. Nat. Mus.). 
Four specimens, two of which are in bad condition. Very like some of the varieties 
of P. maculicollis, but easily separable therefrom by the larger and broader head, and 
the more convex prothorax.
