PANDELETEIUS. 199 
more prominent eyes, &c., separate P. ornatifrons from P. maculicollis. A narrower 
and smaller example from Chilpancingo seems to be a male of the same species. 
22. Pandeleteius viridiventris, sp. n. (Tub. VIII. fig. 19.) 
Moderately elongate, rather narrow, opaque, fusco-testaceous or ferruginous, faintly maculate with black : 
above clothed with small coppery-brown and larger cinereous scales, the latter clustered into sinuous 
interrupted lines on each side of the prothorax and various small irregular spots along the sutural and 
apical regions of the elytra, and in one specimen condensed into a large apical patch; the upper surface 
also set with minute, curled, adpressed hairs; the lower surface (the abdomen excepted), and the 
anterior femora beneath, clothed with opalescent pale greenish scales. Head and rostrum together 
shorter than the prothorax, finely punctate, the rostrum very short, flattened and finely canaliculate, 
emarginate at the tip; eyes rather prominent, small, rounded. Prothorax about as long as broad, 
produced in front, constricted at the base and (more feebly so) towards the apex, sparsely punctate ; 
vibrissee represented by two or three hair-like scales. Elytra wider than the prothorax, subparallel, 
transversely depressed below the base; finely punctate-striate, the alternate interstices somewhat 
raised towards the apex. Anterior femora clavate. Anterior tibie slightly elongated, sinuous within, 
curved at the tip, unguiculate, and armed with 6 small denticles. 
Length 33-4, breadth 13-14 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Tres Marias in Morelos (Wickham). 
Three specimens, one abraded, recently received from their captor. A small, narrow, 
somewhat depressed form not unlike P. brevipes, with shorter scrobes, finely punctured 
elytral strize, much finer curled hairs on the upper surface, &c. ‘The prothorax is less 
constricted, and the anterior tibie more feebly sinuate within, than in P. stnuatipes. 
23. Pandeleteius quichensis, sp. n. 
Elongate, narrow, dull, ferruginous, obsoletely maculate with black; clothed with small coppery-brown and 
larger widely scattered cinereous scales, the latter condensed into interrupted sinuous lines on each side 
of the prothorax and various minute irregularly distributed spots on the elytra. Head, rostrum, eyes, 
and prothorax as in P. viridiventris. Elytra much wider than the prothorax, subparallel, transversely 
depressed below the base; coarsely punctate-striate, the alternate interstices slightly raised posteriorly. 
Anterior tibiz sinuous within, armed with 4 or 5 minute denticles. 
Length 34-44, breadth 13-14 millim. 
Hab. GuateMALA, Quiché Mts. (Champion). 
Two specimens, somewhat worn. Relatively longer than P. brevipes, the elytra 
subparallel, the cinereous scales on the elytra clustered into minute scattered spots. 
From P. viridiventris the present species may be distinguished by the more coarsely 
punctate-striate elytra. 
24, Pandeleteius quadrinodosus, sp. n. 
Moderately elongate, piceous or fusco-ferruginous ; variegated with a dense clothing of pale brown, blackish- 
brown, and cinereous or whitish scales, the dark scales condensed into two sinuous lines on the disc of 
the prothorax and two or three oblique interrupted fasciee on the outer part of the disc of each elytron, 
the spaces between the fascie sometimes with a few whitish scales; the surface also set with minute, 
curled, scattered, adpressed hairs, the legs annulate. Head small, together with the rostrum scarcely 
so long as the prothorax, the rostrum transverse, subparallel above, canaliculate and hollowed down the
