82 RHYNCHOPHORA, 
27. Anchonus horridus, sp. n. (Tab. V. figg. 30, 30a, 3.) 
Oblong-ovate, black or nigro-piceous; the sete long, coarse, abundant, erect. Rostrum stout, curved, 
cylindrical, slightly constricted at the base, coarsely seriate-punctate, not carinate. Prothorax broader 
than long, narrowed and constricted in front and narrowed behind, the sides rounded at the middle; the 
entire surface coarsely, closely punctate, the sete forming two fascicles at the apex only. Elytra convex, 
subelliptic, at the middle nearly one-half wider than the prothorax, seriate-punctate ; the interstices 3-5 
each with a scattered series of oblong, moderately prominent, setigerous elevations, the one at the base 
of 3 and 5 long and cariniform, 6 and 7 somewhat closely set with small setigerous tubercles, 1 and 2 
also with scattered feeble elevations. Femora coarsely punctate. 
Length 53-63, breadth 27-3 millim. (¢.) 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
Two males, in perfectly clean condition. Narrower and more oblong than A. obovatus, 
the sete longer and more abundant, forming two fascicles only on the prothorax, the 
elytra less. rounded at the sides, the elevations not so prominent, and forming a carina 
at the base of each of the third and fifth interstices, the sixth and seventh with a 
somewhat close series of small setigerous tubercles. 
28. Anchonus costaricensis, sp. n. (Tab. VI. figg. 1, 1a, 3.) 
Elongate, opaque, black, the tarsi obscurely rufescent, the sete fine and erect, forming two fascicles at the 
apex of the prothorax. Rostrum stout, cylindrical, curved, coarsely, closely punctate, feebly constricted 
at the base in the ¢. Prothorax a little broader than long, somewhat flattened on the disc, rounded at 
the sides, widest at the middle and narrowing thence to the base and apex, constricted in front; the 
entire surface closely punctate, with the very narrow interspaces here and there raised and shining. 
Elytra convex, ovate, at the base bisinuate and slightly wider than the prothorax, the humeri somewhat 
prominent ; seriate-punctate, the interstices 2-7 each with a scattered series of oblong or rounded seti- 
gerous elevations, which become smaller and subconical towards the sides, the suture distinctly granulate 
from the middle to the apex. Beneath and the femora coarsely punctate. 
Length 7-73, breadth 3-33 millim. (¢.) 
Hab. Costa Rica, San José, 1161 metres (Biolley: 3 ), Turrialba and Piedras Negras 
(Mus. Dresden: @ ). 
One male and three females. More elongate than our other species with a closely 
punctured prothorax, the elytra ovate, with the seriate punctures fine and distant from 
each other, the tubercles widely scattered, the setosity sparse, fine, and erect, the 
rostrum stout and coarsely punctate. 
29. Anchonus ovatus, sp.n. (Tab. VI. figg. 2, 2a, 2.) 
Oblong-ovate, black, the apex of the rostrum, the antenne, and tarsi rufescent ; the sete rather long, semierect, 
in one specimen tending to form fascicles on the prothorax. Rostrum curved, thickened towards the 
base, coarsely punctate and 5-carinate, the apical portion cylindrical, sparsely punctate, and shining. 
Prothorax much broader than long, with the sides rounded to the base, narrowed and feebly constricted 
in front ; the surface closely varioloso-punctate, except along a narrow space down the centre, which is 
raised and shining in one specimen. Elytra ovate, convex, shining, widest a little below the base, with 
the apex somewhat attenuate; coarsely seriate-punctate, the interstices 3-7 each with a series of oblong 
setigerous tubercles, which become smaller and subconical towards the sides, 1 and 2 with a few scattered 
granules. Femora coarsely punctate. 
Length 57-64, breadth 23-23 millim. (@.)
