PANDELETEIUS. 203 
Arizona (a single specimen of which is before me), but the latter has the elytra less 
inflated posteriorly and not so sharply fasciate, and the scrobes broader and less 
curved. 
30. Pandeleteius amula, sp. n. 
Moderately elongate, depressed, obscure ferruginous; thickly clothed with opalescent whitish scales, the 
elytra with several faint, scattered, transverse, almost bare spots, which tend to form an interrupted 
oblique subapical fascia. Head and rostrum together about as long as the prothorax, finely punctate, 
the rostrum flattened, obsoletely canaliculate, and very slightly hollowed, deeply triangularly emarginate 
at the tip; eyes not prominent, rather large. Prothorax a little broader than long, rounded at the sides, 
constricted at the base and towards the apex, finely punctate: vibrisse long. Elytra flattened, a little 
broader than the prothorax, gradually widening to the middle, subtruncate at the base ; conspicuously 
punctate-striate, the interstices feebly convex. Anterior femora strongly clavate. Anterior tibie 
elongated, moderately curved, unguiculate, and armed with 7 small teeth. 
Length 5, breadth 1? millim. (¢ ?) 
Hab. Mexico, Amula in Guerrero 6000 feet (ZZ. H. Smith). 
One specimen, somewhat immature, and with the deciduous falcate portion of the 
mandibles still attached. This species is clothed with opalescent whitish scales only, 
much as in P. albisquamis (the darker partly bare spaces on the elytra may be accidental), 
from which it differs in its depressed form, larger eyes, biconstricted prothorax, the 
truncated base of the elytra, &c. From P. robustus the present species may be known 
by its immaculate, less uneven prothorax, the flatter, narrower, obsoletely maculate, 
non-setulose elytra, and the opalescent scales; and from P. ¢¢dialis by the less prominent 
eyes, &c. 
31. Pandeleteius sublineatus, sp.n. (Tab. VIII. fige. 25, 25a, 2.) 
Moderately elongate, widening posteriorly, varying in colour from piceous with the antenne (the club 
excepted) and tibia ferruginous to wholly ferruginous; densely clothed with rather coarse brown and 
whitish scales, the brown scales on the prothorax condensed into a broad median vitta and an interrupted 
submarginal streak, and those on the elytra into a common, elongate, scutellar patch and various faint 
interrupted lines, the line of whitish scales on each side of the disc of the prothorax usually more or less 
distinctly continued along the third elytral interstice and sometimes condensed into a large oblique apical 
patch ; the upper surface also sparsely set with extremely minnte, curled, adpressed hairs, the apex of 
the rostrum and the under surface with opalescent whitish scales. Head and rostrum together nearly 
as long as the prothorax, the rostrum longer than broad, hollowed and faintly canaliculate, emarginate 
at the tip, the nasal plate triangular ; eyes somewhat prominent. Prothorax as long as broad, narrowed 
and constricted at the base and also constricted anteriorly, finely punctate ; vibrissee long, Elytra much 
broader than the prothorax, widening to the middle in both sexes; abruptly declivous behind, finely 
punctate-striate, the interstices feebly convex. Legs slender, the anterior femora very stout and strongly 
clavate ; anterior tibie long, curved, unguiculate, and armed with about 6 minute teeth.
