TERIOLTES.—BOTANEBIUS. 147 
1. Terioltes circumdatus, sp.n. (Tab. IX. figg. 3, 3a, 6.) 
Shining, extremely finely pubescent, testaceous, the antennal club, a large patch on the disc of the prothorax, 
and the sides and apex of the elytra black. Head flattened and somewhat coarsely punctured between 
the eyes; rostrum very feebly curved, longer than the prothorax, rugulose, dull, and shallowly sulcate 
above. Prothorax convex, a little longer than broad, distinctly margined at the base and apex, rounded 
at the sides, constricted and much narrowed in front and slightly narrowed behind; the surface very 
minutely punctate. Elytra much wider than the prothorax, ovate, punctate-striate, the interstices 
feebly convex and extremely minutely punctulate. Legs comparatively slender. 
Length 2? millim. 
Hab. Panama, Boquete in Chiriqui 3500 feet (Champion). 
One specimen. 
. 2. Terioltes nigripennis, sp.n. (Tab. IX. figg. 4, 4a.) 
Very shining, extremely finely pubescent, ferruginous, the eyes and elytra black. Head sparsely punctured 
between the eyes, which are large; rostrum curved, not longer than the prothorax, rugulosely punctate. 
Prothorax about as long as broad, convex, much narrowed in front, the sides rounded anteriorly and 
almost straight behind; the surface minutely punctate. Elytra ovate, much wider than the prothorax, 
punctate-striate, the interstices flat and very minutely punctulate. Legs comparatively stout. 
Length 2% millim. 
Hab. Guaremaa, Senahu in Vera Paz (Champion). 
One specimen. Differs from 7. circumdatus in the curved, shorter rostrum, which 
is not sulcate above, the shorter antenne, the larger eyes, the stouter legs, the shorter 
prosternum, and dissimilar coloration. This insect has much the facies of an Apzon. 
Group ANTHONOMINA. 
Anthonomides, Lacordaire ; Anthonomini, Leconte, Dietz. 
This group is closely related to the Erirrhina, and includes the well-known genus 
Anthonomus and various allied forms, differing chiefly from the Errirhina in the toothed 
or appendiculate tarsal claws, the eyes, too, in most of the species being prominent. 
The section Rhynchznides (Orchestides, Lacord.) is represented by a single peculiar 
monotypic genus. ‘The North-American species have been exhaustively monographed 
by Dietz [‘Trans. Am. Ent. Soc. xviii. pp. 177-276, tabb. 5-7 (1891)], who recognizes 
130 as distinct. About 100 species are now known from Central America, and with 
few exceptions these are treated as new, two only having been previously described 
from our region.
