PHYLLOTROX. 143 
4. Phyllotrox montanus, sp. n. 
Oblong-ovate, shining; black, the scape and funiculus of the antenne and the apex of the abdomen rufo- 
testaceous, the elytra similarly coloured, but with a large subtriangular patch at the base, extending 
along the suture to beyond the middle, and the sides narrowly for the same distance, piceous or black, 
the legs ruto-testaceous, with the femora more or less piceous; the surface finely and somewhat thickly 
pubescent, the pubescence serially arranged on the elytra. Rostrum stout, feebly curved, a little shorter 
than the prothorax, rugulosely punctured. Prothorax transverse, slightly rounded at the sides, narrowed 
in front and behind, closely punctate, with a smooth, abbreviated, median line towards the base. LElytra 
oblong, a little wider than the prothorax, subparallel in their basal half, punctate-striate, the interstices 
flattened and rugulosely punctate. Legs short and stout, the intermediate tibiee acutely dilated at the 
outer apical angle. Pygidium deeply sulcate in the ¢. 
Length 23-23 millim. (d 2.) 
Hab. Guatema.a, Volcan de Agua, between 8500-10,500 feet (Champion). 
One pair. Closely allied to P. mecinoides, but smaller and less elongate, 
the prothorax relatively broader, the antenne in great part and the tarsi rufo- 
testaceous. | 
5. Phylotrox crassipes, sp.n. (Tab. VIII. fig. 28, ¢.) 
Oblong-ovate, shining; nigro- or rufo-piceous, the antenne (the club excepted), legs, ventral surface, and 
elytra testaceous, the suture of the latter faintly infuscate at the base; clothed with fine golden 
pubescence, which is serially arranged on the elytra, Rostrum rather stout, feebly curved, rugulosely 
punctate, shorter than the prothorax. Prothorax transverse, rounded at the sides, a little more narrowed 
in front than behind, closely punctate. Elytra oblong-oval, punctate-striate, the interstices convex 
throughout and minutely punctate. Legs stout, the intermediate tibie dilated at the outer apical angle. 
Pygidium deeply sulcate. 
Length 24-23 millim. (¢.) 
Hab. Mexico, Villa Alta in Oaxaca (Mohr). 
Two specimens. Distinguishable from P. suturalis and the other closely allied 
forms by the stout legs and the rounded sides of the prothorax. ‘The prothorax and 
elytra are more rounded at the sides than in P. montanus, the interstices of the latter 
strongly convex. 
6. Phyllotrox suturalis. (Tab. VIII. fig. 29.) 
Derelomus suturalis, Boh. in Schénh. Gen. Cure. viii. 1, p. 96°. 
Oblong-ovate, somewhat shining, clothed with fine pallid or golden pubescence; black or piceous, the antennz 
(the club excepted), the tip of the rostrum, the legs, and the abdomen in great part, ferruginous or 
testaceous ; the elytra testaceous, with a triangular scutellar patch extending down the suture, or the 
suture only, black. Rostrum about as long as the prothorax in the ¢, longer in the Q; rugulosely 
punctate. Prothorax broader than long, considerably narrowed in front and slightly so behind, densely 
punctate. Elytra oblong-ovate, punctate-striate, the interstices more or less convex and rugulosely 
punctulate. Intermediate tibie dilated at the outer apical angle. 
Var. a. The head and prothorax ferruginous, the elytra with an elongate black scutellar patch [P. suturalis, 
Boh. | (fig. 29). 
Var. 3. Entirely ferruginous or testaceous. 
Length 14-24 millim. (¢ 2.)
