RHYNCHOPHORA: OTIORHYNCHIN &. 341 
Two specimens, precisely similar, one certainly a female, the example found by 
Hoge in very fresh condition. 
ISODACRYS (p. 175). 
3 (a). Isodacrys schwarzi, sp.n. (Tab. XV. figg. 29, 29 a.) 
Oblong, black; variegated with a dense clothing of rather large, white, pale brown, and blackish scales, the 
white scales condensed into two vittw on the disc of the prothorax, and an oblique irregular or inter- 
rupted subapical fascia and various spots or streaks on the elytra (the prothoracic vittz extending for a 
short distance down the base of the latter); the scales on the under surface and legs whitish; the surface 
also set with extremely minute, curled, scattered, setiform hairs. Eyes very small. Prothorax elongate, 
constricted towards the apex. Elytra oval, short, much wider than the prothorax, abruptly narrowed 
posteriorly, the sutural region tumid and obtusely projecting near the tip, the seriate punctures almost 
hidden by the dense vestiture. Anterior tibie sharply unguiculate, the denticles along the inuer edge 
wanting. 
Length 24-22, breadth 14 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Monterey in Nuevo Leon (Schwarz, in U.S. Nat. Mus.). 
Two specimens, one of which has been presented to us by the U.S. National 
Museum. They are labelled as having been captured by Mr. E. A. Schwarz on Jan. Ist. 
This species differs from all those described by Dr. Sharp in its non-denticulate 
anterior tibia and very small eyes. It approaches L. meaicanus, but has much broader 
elytra and the sutural region more produced towards the apex. 
PERITELINA. 
EUPERITELUS, gen. nov. 
Rostrum short, stout, alate, separated from the head by a transverse groove, the scrobes superior, short, 
curving inwards behind; eyes superior, rounded, convex, rather small, the head dilated on each side 
beneath them; antenne with a very stout, long, cylindrical, curved scape, extending to beyond the 
anterior margin of the prothorax, joints 1 and 2 of the funiculus subequal in length, 3-7 transverse ; 
mentum rounded, rather small; prothorax short, truncate and feebly margined at the base; scutellum 
wanting ; elytra broad-ovate; metasternum short, the episterna exposed ; ventral segment 2 much shorter 
than 3 and 4 united, the suture between 1 and 2 sinuous; legs stout; femora unarmed ; tibie feebly 
unguiculate, the posterior pair denticulate along their inner edge towards the apex, the glabrous articular 
surface terminal, the corbels open ; tarsi broad, the claws connate; body apterous, obovate, squamose. 
Type, Z. albovarius. 
Amongst the N.-American forms this remarkable Peritelid can only be compared 
with Thricolepis and Peritelopsis, following Horn’s system of arrangement. ‘lhe 
superior, convergent scrobes, the prominent, superiorly placed eyes, the transversely 
grooved base of the rostrum, and the denticulate posterior tibie are its chief 
characters. Euperitelus has wholly the facies of an Otiorhynchus. 
1. Euperitelus albovarlus, sp.n. (Jab. XV. figg. 30, 30a.) 
Broad, black; variegate with a dense clothing of brown and white scales, the white scales clustered into an 
irregular, incomplete sinuous submarginal stripe on each side of the prothorax and into numerous 
small scattered subconfluent patches on the depressed portions of the elytra, the granules bare; the 
antenne (the fuscous club excepted), legs, and under surface setulose and densely squamose. Head and 
rostrum densely, finely punctate, the head longitudinally grooved between the eyes, the rostrum slightly
