ANCHONUS. 87 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
Three females. Easily distinguishable from the other Central-American forms by 
the angularly dilated sides of the prothorax and the short setosity. The following is 
the only nearly allied form. 
41. Anchonus setulosus, sp.n. (Tab. VI. figg. 11, lla, ¢.) 
Obovate, black, the antenne and tarsi obscurely rufescent, thickly coated with an earthy incrustation ; the 
sete: long and abundant. Rostrum moderately stout, curved, slightly thickened towards the base and 
there feebly constricted, seriate-punctate, with the interspaces somewhat shining, but not carinate. 
Prothorax transverse, somewhat flattened on the disc, angularly dilated at the sides a little before the 
middle, obliquely narrowing thence to the base, and abruptly constricted and narrowed in front; 
the surface coarsely, closely punctate, with the raised interspaces narrow, sinuous, and here and there 
shining, the dise with an abbreviated median carina. Elytra short-ovate, convex, at the base very 
little wider than the prothorax ; seriate-punctate, the interstices 2-7 each with a series of oblong or 
elongate, granulate, moderately prominent elevations, those at the base of 3 and 5 cariniform, the suture 
granulate. 
Length 32, breadth 2 millim. (.) 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
One specimen. Very like A. angulatus, but smaller, with a more slender, smoother 
rostrum, the angular dilatation of the prothorax arising from near the middle, the 
elytral elevations a little more elongate, less prominent, and distinctly granulate, 
the setosity of the surface longer and much more abundant. 
42. Anchonus verrucosus, sp.n. (Tab. VI. figg. 12, 124, 3.) 
Oblong-obovate, black, the antenne and tarsi obscurely rufescent ; the sete very short. Rostrum ( ¢ ) stout, 
eylindrical, strongly curved, abruptly and deeply constricted at the base, seriate-punctate and tricarinate, 
bituberculate on either side posteriorly, (2) slightly thickened towards the base. Prothorax about as 
broad as long, widest at the middle, narrowed and constricted in front and narrowed behind ; the surface 
uneven, closely punctate, except along a smooth space down the middle, tuberculate laterally and along 
each side of the median’ space. Elytra ovate, convex, seriate-punctate, the interstices tuberculate, the 
tubercles on the third and fifth a little larger and more prominent than the others, which are more or 
less conical in shape. 
Length 43-43, breadth 2-2,), millim. (d 9.) 
Hab. Nicaragua, Chontales (Belt: ¢ ); Costa Rica, Tucurrique (Jus. Dresden: 2). 
One pair. A small species, recognizable by the finely carinate, posteriorly con- 
stricted rostrum, the tuberculate prothorax, and the convex, ovate, tuberculate elytra. 
The setosity is short and scattered, nowhere forming fascicles. The rostrum is 
distinctly tuberculate in front of the basal constriction. oe 
43. Anchonus tuberculirostris, sp. n. (Tab. VI. figg. 13, 13a, 2.) 
Oblong-ovate, black, the antenne and tarsi obscurely rufescent ; the sete short and scattered. Rostrum stout, 
strongly curved, seriate-punctate and tricarinate, distinctly bituberculate on each side in front of the 
rather deep basal constriction. Prothorax about as broad as long, widest at the middle, constricted and
