142 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
1. Phyllotrox megalops, sp. n. (Tab. VIII. fig. 25, 2 .) 
Elongate-ovate, narrow, subopaque, obscure testaceous, the eyes black; finely pubescent, the pubescence 
golden in colour and seriately arranged on the elytra. Rostrum slender, distinctly longer than the 
prothorax, curved, minutely punctured; eyes coarsely facetted, large, contiguous above and beneath. 
Prothorax transverse, rounded at the sides, equally narrowed in front and behind, closely, very minutely 
punctate. Elytra oblong-oval, obsoletely seriate-punctate, the pubescence on each of the interstices 
arising from a faintly raised line. Tibia straight on their outer edge. 
Length 13 millim. (2.) 
Hab. GuateMaua, Panzos in Vera Paz (Champion). 
One specimen. Easily recognizable by its narrow, elongate shape, the large, 
coarsely facetted, contiguous eyes, and the slender rostrum. 
P. speculator, Kirsch, from Peru, is perhaps an allied form. 
2. Phyllotrox ater, sp.n. (Tab. VIII. figg. 26, 26 a.) 
Ovate, moderately shining, black, the legs sometimes piceous, the scape of the antenne, the tip of the rostrum, 
and the terminal tarsal joint rufo-testaceous; clothed with a very fine, sparse pubescence. Rostrum 
curved, rather stuut, about as long as the prothorax, faintly sulcate down the middle, densely, rugulosely 
punctate, smoother at the tip; eyes large. Prothorax convex, nearly as long as broad, rounded at the 
sides, considerably narrowed and constricted in front and also a little narrowed behind, and transversely 
grooved immediately before the basal margin; the surface densely punctate, sometimes with indications 
of a faintly raised median line. Elytra ovate, punctate-striate, the interstices more or less convex and 
very faintly punctate. Legs comparatively elongate, with the femora stout and the intermediate tibiv 
slightly dilated at the outer apical angle. 
Length 23-3 millim. 
Y 
Hab. GuateMALa, Chiacam and Sinanja in Vera Paz (Champion). 
Four specimens. Distinguishable by its black cclour, ovate, convex form, and 
sparse pubescence. P. subopacus, Schauf., from Colombia, is similarly coloured, but 
differs in various details. The transverse groove at the base of the prothorax is 
conspicuous. In three of the examples the pygidium is visible and foveate. 
8. Phyllotrox mecinoides, sp. n. (Tab. VIII. figg. 27, 27 a, ¢.) 
Oblong-ovate, shining; black, each elytron usually with an anteriorly narrowing evanescent patch on the dise 
extending from the apex towards the shoulder, and sometimes reaching it, rufo-testaceous, and the tibis 
in most specimens similarly coloured ; the surface griseo-pubescent, the pubescence serially arranged on 
the elytra. Rostrum a little shorter than the prothorax, rather stout, moderately curved, rugulosely 
punctate, faintly grooved above. Prothorax broader than long, abruptly narrowed in front and slightly 
narrowed at the base, the sides almost straight; the surface closely punctate, sometimes with a narrow 
smooth space down the centre. LElytra oblong, punctate-striate, the interstices flat and rugulosely 
punctate. Legs comparatively stout, the intermediate tibie acutely dilated at the outer apical angle. 
Pygidium foveate, and the fifth segment emarginate at the apex, in the ¢. 
Length 24-3 millim. (¢ 2.) 
Hab. Mexico, Jacale * (Sal/é). 
Six specimens. Very like a Mecinus, a genus not known in America, but agreeing 
with Phyllotrox in the structure of the antennee &c. . 
* Probably ‘Jacala” in Hidalgo.
