on the second more prominent than the rest. Beneath sparsely punctate. Femora coarsely punctate and 
minutely granulate. 
Length 5-6, breadth 23-23 millim. (d .) 
Hab. Guatemata, Cahabon, Senahu, Sinanja and Purula in Vera Paz (Champion). 
Numerous examples, most of which are in very clean condition. In this species the 
sculpture of the prothorax and elytra is similar to that of A. gibbirostris, from which 
the present insect differs in its much smaller size and less elongate shape, the carinate 
non-gibbose rostrum, the transverse prothorax, &c. The prothorax 1s quite smooth 
down the middle and along a sinuous space between this and the margin. 
10. Anchonus penicillatus, sp.n. (Tab. V. figg. 15, 15a, ¢.) 
Oblong, black, the antennz and tarsi more or less rufescent ; the setz coarse, rather long, semierect, forming 
six fascicles on the prothorax. Rostrum (¢) curved, subeylindrical, coarsely punctate to the tip, and 
longitudinally wrinkled, (2) shining and more sparsely punctate at the tip. Prothorax broader than 
long, much narrowed behind and narrowed and abruptly constricted in front, narrower than the elytra ; 
the surface granulate, except down the middle and along a narrow sinuous space midway between this 
and the margin, binodose at the apex, and with an abbreviated median carina. Elytra ovate, slightly 
wider at the base than the prothorax, coarsely seriate-punctate, the interstices 2-7 each with a series of 
setigerous tubercles, the suture also tuberculate beyond the middle. Beneath very coarsely punctate. 
Femora closely, coarsely punctate. 
Length 4-5}, breadth 2-23 millim. (¢ 9.) 
Hab. Guaremata, Senahu, San Juan, Sinanja, Sabo, San Gerdnimo (Champion), 
Coban (Conradt). 
Not rare in the humid forest districts of Alta Vera Paz. Chiefly distinguishable by 
the granulate, faintly carinate, fasciculate, posteriorly narrowed prothorax, the seriate- 
tuberculate, ovate elytra, the roughly punctured femora, and the coarse semierect 
setosity. The less dilated and more closely granulated prothorax, the non-carinate 
rostrum, &c., separate it from A. carinirostris, an insect inhabiting the same districts. 
11. Anchonus abnormis. (Tab. V. figg. 16,164, 2.) 
Anchonus abnormis, Fahr. in Schonh. Gen. Cure. vii. 2, p. 893°. 
Hab. Mexico (coll. Chevrolat}, in Mus. Holm.). 
The type of this small species, a female, has been lent me by Dr. Aurivillius. 
It is in very dirty condition, but may be recognized by the prominent tuberculiform 
elevations on the prothorax and elytra; the interspaces on the prothorax are sparsely 
‘granulate; the scape reaches to the middle of the eyes, which are rather large ; the 
under surface is very sparsely, finely punctate; the seriate punctures on the elytra are 
very coarse and deep towards the sides; the femora are comparatively smooth. Length 
43 millim. | 
A, abnormis was not noticed by Faust in his papers on the genus.
