204 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
rostrum longer than broad, the brown median vitta of the prothorax extending on 
to the base of the elytra, and the whitish line on each side of it continued down 
the third interstice, the anterior tibiz long, curved, and ferruginous. Three specimens 
found by Mr. H. H. Smith in the Windward Is. seem to belong to this species. 
32. Pandeleteius sinuatipes, sp.n. (Tab. VIII. figg. 26; 26a, anterior tibia.) 
Moderately elongate, narrow, ferruginous, faintly maculate with black, the under surface darker, the legs 
testaceous; clothed with small coppery-brown and larger cinereous scales, the latter mainly placed along 
the sides and base of the prothorax, and those on the elytra clustered into definite dark-edged spots— 
three across the disc before the middle and several forming an irregular oblique fascia near the apex ; 
the upper surface also sparsely set with minute curled decumbent hairs, the under surface with whitish 
scales. Head and rostrum together shorter than the prothorax, the rostrum very short, hollowed and 
canaliculate, shallowly, triangularly emarginate at the tip; eyes rather large, oval, not prominent. 
Prothorax about as long as broad, produced in front, rounded at the sides, constricted at the base and 
towards the apex, sparsely punctate; vibrisse very fine. Elytra much broader than the prothorax, slightly 
widened towards the middle, transversely depressed below the base ; finely punctate-striate, the interstices 
feebly convex, 3 tumid at the base. Anterior femora clavate. Anterior tibie moderately elongate, strongly 
sinuate, unguiculate, and armed with 4 very small scattered teeth. 
Length 42, breadth 14 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Chilpancingo in Guerrero (//. H. Smith). 
One specimen, slightly immature. The chief characters of this insect are, the 
comparatively large, oval eyes; the biconstricted prothorax; the moderately long, 
strongly sinuate, sparsely denticulate anterior tibiz; and the tumid base of the third 
elytral interstice. The dark-edged cinereous spots on the elytra partly enclose a large, 
common, immaculate, cupreo-squamose space. 
33. Pandeleteius ciliatipennis, sp. n. (Tab. VIII. figg. 27, 27a, 9°.) 
Moderately elongate, flattened above, dull; piceous, or obscure ferruginous with darker markings, the antenne 
(the club excepted) and tarsi more or less ferruginous ; mottled with a dense clothing of pale brown, 
whitish, and fuscous scales, the dark scales condensed into a broad median vitta (or two lines) on the 
prothorax, a triangular mark at the base of the head, and two narrow, strongly oblique, streaks or fascia 
on the elytra (one a little before, and the other far beyond, the middle), the subapical fascia usually 
followed by a broader whitish one; the upper surface also sparsely set with minute, curled, adpressed 
hairs, the suture in the 2 with long semierect hairs on the apical declivity, the under surface pilose. 
Head and rostrum together about as long as the prothorax, finely punctate, the rostrum canaliculate 
and slightly hollowed down the middle, the nasal plate short, triangular; eyes not prominent. Prothorax 
broader than long, rounded at the sides, strongly constricted towards the apex and also at the base, the 
anterior portion appearing tubulate; sparsely punctate, the disc transversely undulate ; vibrissee few in 
number. Elytra much broader than the prothorax, widening to the middle, transversely depressed 
below the base, the humeri rather prominent ; finely punctate-striate, the interstices flat on the disc ; 
sutural angle deflexed and sharply rectangular in 9, more obtuse in o. Anterior tibiz feebly 
curved, moderately long, unguiculate, and armed with 7 or 8 small teeth. 
Length 4-53, breadth 13-2 millim. (¢ 2.) 
Hab. Muxico (Truqui, in coll. Fry, Mus. Brit.), Chapultepec (Mus. Oxon.), Mexico 
city, Cerro de Palmas, Oaxaca (Hége), Salazar (Wickham).
