ANCHONUS. 89 
46. Anchonus foveifrons, sp. n. (Tab. VI. figg. 16, 16a, 6, 3.) 
Oblong, convex, shining, black, the antenne and tarsi obscurely rufescent; the sete short, erect, and 
numerous. Rostrum stout, curved, slightly thickened towards the base, and there a little constricted, 
densely, rugosely punctate to the tip, and faintly carinate anteriorly ; front very deeply foveate on each 
side at the base of the rostrum above; antennz inserted near the apex of the rostrum, the scape not 
reaching the eye. Prothorax broader than long, convex, a little flattened on the disc, fully as wide as 
the elytra, the sides strongly, arcuately dilated before the middle, rapidly converging towards the base, 
and converging and constricted in front; coarsely rugose, the ruge partly confluent and radiating 
obliquely forwards from the centre of the disc. Elytra convex, oblong-oval, of the same width as the 
prothorax at the base ; seriate-punctate, the interstices 2-7 tuberculate and granulate, the tubercles here 
and there coalescent and forming short ridges, the suture granulate throughout, Femora granulate. 
Length 5, breadth 24 millim. (¢.) 
Hab. Guatemata, Zapote, Pacific slope (Champion). 
One specimen, in very clean condition. A remarkable species, recognizable by the 
deeply bifoveate front of the head, the comparatively short antenne, the arcuately 
dilated, shining, closely rugose prothorax, and the peculiar elytral sculpture. 
The following species are unknown to me :— 
47, Anchonus fraterculus. 
Anchonus fraterculus, Faust, Deutsche ent. Zeit. 1892, pp. 26, 45 (?)*. 
Hab. Costa Rica !. 
This insect, which appears to be very nearly related to A. murcidus, is described as 
oblong, convex, with the rostrum thickened towards the base, and then constricted ; 
the prothorax as broad as long, rounded at the sides, varioloso-punctate, and impressed 
down the middle; the elytra broader at the base than the prothorax, with the outer 
angles rectangular, coarsely seriate-punctate, the interstices here and there inter- 
ruptedly convex, sparsely granulate, and shortly setose. Length 7 millim.} 
48. Anchonus confinis. 
Anchonus confinis, Faust, Deutsche ent. Zeit. 1892, pp. 31, 52 (2)'. 
Hab. Honpuras!. 
Ovate, convex ; the prothorax transverse, rotundato-ampliate at the sides before the 
middle, the anterior margin sinuate behind the eyes and bicallose in the centre, 
the surface somewhat densely, deeply punctate, with scattered shining granules in the 
interspaces, the disc longitudinally impressed down the middle; the elytra convex, 
faintly punctate, the dorsal interstices with oval, minutely granulate, setigerous 
tubercles, the sixth, seventh, and eighth granulate; the legs short and stout, the 
femora granulato-punctate. Length 74 millim.!
