86 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
One specimen, Very like A. hirsutus, from which it differs in having the interspaces 
between the punctures on the prothorax less raised and not shining; the elytra 
straighter at the sides, with the elevations on the interstices 3-6 more connected, 
forming feeble interrupted carine, and 2 almost flat; the setosity a little shorter. 
The rostrum is without trace of constriction at the base. 
38. Anchonus ericius, sp.n. (Tab. VI. figg. 8, 8a, ¢.) 
Obovate, black, the antenne, tarsi, and tibie more or less rufescent; the setee coarse, erect, moderately long, 
and abundant. Rostrum very stout, curved, cylindrical, slightly constricted at the base, coarsely punctate. 
Prothorax transverse, with the sides rounded at the middle, converging in front and behind, and feebly 
constricted before the apex; the entire surface coarsely, closely punctate, with the interspaces dull. 
Elytra short-ovate ; seriate-punctate, the interstices faintly transversely rugose, 3 with a scattered series 
of rather large tubercles and 5 with a row of smaller ones, the latter becoming more prominent towards 
the apex, the other interstices inconspicuously nodulose. 
Length 33, breadth 2 millim. (¢.) 
Hab. Guatemata, El Tumbador, Pacific slope (Champion). 
One specimen. From the numerous small allied forms here described from Central 
America, the present species may be identified by the short, opaque, feebly constricted, 
coarsely punctate prothorax, the short-ovate elytra, with conspicuous tubercles on the 
third and fifth interstices only, and the coarse, abundant, erect setosity of the entire 
upper surface. | 
39. Anchonus hystrix, sp.n. (Tab. VI. figg. 9, 94a, 3.) 
Obovate, black, the antenne and tarsi more or less rufescent ; the setze erect, very long, coarse, and abundant. 
Rostrum curved, cylindrical, coarsely seriate-punctate. Prothorax much broader than long, moderately 
convex, widest at the middle and rapidly narrowing thence to the base and apex, slightly constricted in 
front; the surface very coarsely, closely punctate. Elytra moderately convex, short-ovate, at the middle 
one-half wider than the prothorax ; seriate-punctate, the interstices transversely rugose, 2-7 each with a 
series of oblong setigerous tubercles, those at the base of 3 and 5 cariniform. Beneath coarsely punctate. 
Length 3-33, breadth 13-13 millim. (¢.) 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
Two specimens. <A small species, obovate in form, with very long, coarse, clubbed, 
erect sete, a short, very coarsely punctured prothorax, and seriato-tuberculate elytra. 
40. Anchonus angulatus, sp.n. (Tab. VI. figg. 10, 10a, ¢.) 
Obovate, black, the antennz and tarsi more or less rufescent; the sete short and scattered. Rostrum 
cylindrical, stout, curved, slightly constricted at the base, coarsely and closely seriate-punctate, the 
punctuation becoming finer and more scattered towards the apex, which is shining. Prothorax 
‘transverse, somewhat flattened on the disc, angularly dilated at the sides at some distance before the 
middle, gradually and obliquely narrowing thence to the base, and abruptly and very strongly constricted 
before the apex, the hind angles rectangular ; the surface coarsely, closely punctate, with the interspaces 
dull, the disc with an abbreviated median carina and sometimes a small tubercle on either side of it in 
a line with the lateral prominences, Elytra convex, short-ovate, at the base scarcely wider than the 
prothorax; seriate-punctate, the interstices 2-7 each with a scattered series of oblong or rounded 
setigerous tubercles, those at the base of 3 and 5 more or less cariniform. 
Length 4-5, breadth 2-23 millim, (9.)
