10. Promecops uniformis, sp. n. (Tab. XIV. fig. 30, 3.) 
Oblong, robust, piceous; densely, uniformly clothed with brown or greyish-brown scales, the elytra sometimes 
with a faint, darker, interrupted, transverse fascia beyond the middle, the surface also set with rather 
long, scattered, decumbent sete, those on the elytra seriately arranged down each interstice ; the scales 
on the under surface cinereous or greenish-cinereous. Rostrum broad, slightly hollowed, and canaii- 
culate; joint 2 of the funiculus a little longer than 1; eyes large, transverse, oval.  Prothorax 
transverse, obliquely narrowed towards the base and apex, about as wide in front as behind, closely, 
finely punctate. Elytra oblong-subtriangular in ¢, subparallel or slightly widened to the middle in °, 
punctate-striate, the interstices feebly convex. Metasternum and first ventral segment broadly hollowed 
down the middle in ¢. Mesosternum simple. Legs very stout in ¢, more slender in 2, the tibie 
moderately unguiculate in the two sexes; tarsal claws long, free. 
Length 5-64, breadth 2;-23 millim. (¢ Q.) 
Hab. Guatemata, Capetillo, Duefias, Cerro Zunil (Champion), Chimaltenango 
(Conradt). 
Seven males and four females. In this insect there is no trace of the usual pallid 
elytral fascie, but there is sometimes an interrupted, blackish, somewhat denuded band 
visible beyond the middle, especially in the female. The males sometimes have the 
legs excessively stout. ‘The tarsal claws are long, as in P. wnidentata. 
SUPPLEMENT 
TO THE 
THECESTERNINE AND OTIORHYNCHINA®*, 
‘Tuts Supplement to the subfamilies Thecesternine and Otiorhynchine 7 includes the 
additional material received since 1891, a few species left by Dr. Sharp for further 
study, and some other forms that had been overlooked in our own or in the British 
Museum collections. A few corrections in the synonymy have become necessary, 
mainly owing to the discovery of various Mexican types in the “ Sommer ”’ collection, 
kindly lent by Mr. O. E. Janson and Prof. Poulton. 
* By G. C. Coamrion. 
+ The Supplementary Apionine have been handed over to the specialist Herr Hans Wagner for deter- 
mination, and his descriptions of the new forms will be published elsewhere. The specific names of three 
species of the genus Apion described in the present Volume were preoccupied, and they have been changed 
by Wagner (Deutsche ent. Zeitschr. 1909, p. 766) thus: longimanum, Sharp (nec Rey) (p. 62)—macropus ; 
longicolle, Sharp (nec Gerst.) (p. 80)—macrothorax ; gibbeswm, Sharp (nec Herbst) (p.82)—peculiare. Of the 
three other subfamilies dealt with by Dr. Sharp, the Attelabine, Pterocoline, and Allocoryninze, but little has 
since come to hand, and no Supplement is therefore required. It may be observed, however, that a species of 
the genus Allocorynus (A. slossont, Schaeff.) has recently been described from the United States.
