144 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
Hab. Mexico! (Mus. Brit., Truqui), Zacualtipan, Cordova (Hé9e), Guanajuato, 
Toxpam, Orizaba (Sallé), Amatan (Flohr), Omilteme, Xucumanatlan, Chilpancingo, 
Teapa (H. H. Smith); Guaremaua, Quezaltenango, Volcan de Agua, Calderas, 
Capetillo, Duefias (Champion), Coban (Conradt). 
A large number of specimens from Mexico and Guatemala are provisionally referred 
to this species, the type of which I have seen. The colour is very variable, and the 
‘rostrum also varies in length. The pygidium is broadly and deeply sulcate in most 
of the individuals in which it is exposed, and this may be a peculiarity of the males. 
The numerous examples from Quezaltenango are very small, dark, and narrow, and 
others from Zacualtipan are entirely ferruginous, with the rostrum longer and more 
curved than usual. P. suturalis is extremely like the North-American P. nudifer, 
‘Lec.*, but it differs in being a little narrower and less robust. P. variabilis, Schauf., 
a larger insect from Colombia, is described as being equally variable in colour. 
7. Phyllotrox fulvus, sp. n. 
Oblong-ovate, shining, finely pubescent, ferruginous, the elytra and legs testaceous. Rostrum nearly as long 
as the prothorax, closely punctate. Prothorax a little broader than long, rounded at the sides, much 
narrowed in front and slightly so behind, closely, finely punctate. LElytra ovate, finely and shallowly 
punctate-striate, the interstices flat and each with about two irregular rows of very minute punctures. 
Pygidium visible and with a deep oblong fovea in the middle. Ventral segments finely punctured, 
the first impressed in the middle. Legs rather elongate, the tibi not dilated at the outer apical 
angle. 
Length 2,%, millim. (¢.) 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
One specimen. A rather large form, with finely punctate-striate elytra, the 
interstices flat and minutely, irregularly biseriate-punctate. 
8. Phyllotrox marcidus, sp. n. 
Ovate, subopaque, thickly clothed with fine golden pubescence ; ferruginous, the antenne (the club excepted), 
elytra, and legs testaceous. Rostrum about as long as the prothorax, rugulosely punctate. Prothorax 
convex, transverse, comparatively broad, rounded at the sides, narrowed in front and slightly so behind, 
densely punctate. Elytra oval, comparatively short, punctate-striate, the interstices narrow, convex, and 
rugulose. Legs short. 
Length 12 millim. 
Hab. Paxama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
One specimen. Recognizable by its small size, short form, comparatively broad 
prothorax, and dull surface. The prothorax is relatively broader than in individuals 
of P. suturalis of the same size. 
* We are indebted to Mr. H. F. Wickham for specimens of this species from Leadville, Colorado.
