78 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
Twelve examples. ‘his is a species with a closely varioloso-punctate prothorax, on 
which the ochreous sete are clustered together in about twelve fascicles—a double 
series down the middle of the disc and one on each lateral margin. The rostrum is 
conspicuously thickened towards the base in the female, and slightly so in the male. 
The elytra are similar in shape and sculpture to those of A. penicillatus and other allied 
forms. ‘The peculiar sculpture of the prothorax distinguishes it from many very similar 
species. 
19. Anchonus granulatus, sp.n. (Tab. V. figg. 22, 22a, ¢.) 
Oblong-ovate, black, the antenne and tarsi obscurely rufescent; the sets long and coarse, and arranged in 
fascicles on the more elevated portions of the prothorax and elytra. Rostrum (¢) stout, cylindrical, 
curved, coarsely seriate-punctate, not carinate, (Q) less coarsely punctate towards the tip, which is 
shining. Prothorax about as long as broad, somewhat rounded at the sides, narrowing and strongly 
constricted in front and narrowing behind; the surface, except along a narrow, flattened, smooth space 
down the middle and a narrow, irregular, sinuous space midway between it and the margin, closely set 
with small, smooth, shining tubercles, and more or less distinctly binodose and fasciculate at the apex, 
and sometimes on the middle of the disc also; the flanks very coarsely punctate. Elytra oblong-ovate, 
wider at the base than the prothorax, somewhat flattened on the disc and abruptly declivous at the apex ; 
very coarsely seriate-punctate, the interstices 2-6 uneven, and here and there minutely granulate, each 
with a series of oblong, prominent, setigerous tubercles, these forming carine at the base of 3 and 5, 
the tubercle on 3 at the commencement of the apical declivity larger than the rest, this interstice being 
interruptedly raised thence to the apex. Beneath sparsely punctured. Femora coarsely punctate. 
Length 54-63, breadth 23-3 millim. (¢ @.) 
Hab. Mexico, Toxpam (Sallé), Jalapa (Hége). 
Five specimens. This is one of several very closely allied Mexican forms, and 
amongst these it may be identified by the coarsely granulated prothorax (a character 
separating the species from all the other Central-American Anchont known to me), the 
unusually large tubercle on the third interstice at the commencement of the apical 
declivity, and the long, coarse setosity. As in A. elongatus, the sexual difference in 
the form of the rostrum is not very pronounced. 
20. Anchonus salebrosus, sp. n. (Tab. V. fig. 23, ¢.) 
Oblong-ovate, black, the antenne and tarsi obscurely rufescent, the surface usually thickly covered with an 
earthy incrustation; the sete short, erect, and rather coarse. Rostrum stout, curved, cylindrical, 
feebly constricted at the base, coarsely seriate-punctate, the interspaces longitudinally wrinkled, the apical 
portion in the 2 shining, closely and more finely punctate. Prothorax about as long as broad, rounded 
at the sides, constricted and narrowed in front and narrowed behind ; the surface, except down a narrow 
median space and along a narrow sinuous space midway between this and the margin, coarsely, irregularly 
punctate, with the interspaces here and there raised and granulate, more or less distinctly binodose at the 
apex. lytra oblong-ovate, at the base slightly wider than the prothorax ; coarsely seriate-punctate, the 
interstices uneven and sparsely, minutely granulate, 2-7 each with a series of conical setigerous tubercles, 
these here and there united, forming short carine at the base of 3 and 5 and elsewhere on the disc, the 
elevations on the apical declivity subequal in size. Beneath sparsely, coarsely punctate. 
Length 43-6, breadth 2-23 millim. (¢ @.) 
Hab. Mexico (Mus. Brit.), Cordova (Sallé, Hoge), Toxpam (Saillé), Jalapa (Hége).
