ANTHONOMUS. 175 
smooth and shining, the antennex inserted slightly before the middle, joint 1 of the funiculus nearly as 
long as 2-4 united. Prothorax strongly transverse, rounded at the sides, much narrowed in front, 
bisinuate at the base, closely impressed with rounded punctures, in each of which is a bluish-white scale. 
Elytra a little wider than the prothorax, rather short, the humeri obtuse ; punctate-striate, the 
interstices flat and rugulose. Legs short and stout; all the femora strongly clavate and each with an 
acute triangular tooth, the tibie feebly sinuate; tarsal claws with a long tooth, 
Length 23, breadth 14 millim. (@.)

One specimen. Less elongate than A. cwruleisquamis, the legs shorter, stouter, and 
almost entirely ferruginous, the prothorax more transverse, the squamosity of the 
upper surface bluish-white, the scales on the elytra rounded, like those on the prothorax, 
but much smaller.

The fifteen specimens received from within our limits merely differ from a N.- 
American example before me in having the rostrum a little smoother and more shining. 
The red coloration on the elytra varies in extent—in some specimens leaving the suture 
only black, and in others reduced to a large humeral patch ; and the legs are usually 
in part ferruginous. Numerous allied forms inhabit the United States. 
A, annulipes-group. 
35. Anthonomus annulipes, sp.n. (Tab. X. figg. 14, 144, ¢.) 
Oblong-ovate, rather broad, dull, rufo-piceous, the antennal scape and the tarsi in part ferruginous, the 
intermediate and hind legs with the base of the femora broadly flavous, and their tibie with a similarly- 
coloured annulus before the apex; clothed with a very fine grey pubescence, this being more condensed 
and ochreous in colour on certain portions of the elytra and tending to form several transverse fascix, 
that of the under surface greyish-white. Head rugulose, very faintly foveate above the eyes; rostrum 
shining, moderately curved, much longer than the head and prothorax, seriate-punctate and 5-carinate, 
sparsely punctate at the tip, the antenne inserted at about one-fourth from the apex, joint 1 of the 
funiculus about as long as 2 and 3 united, the club loosely articulated. Prothorax transverse, rounded 
at the sides anteriorly, much narrowed and moderately constricted in front, densely punctate. Elytra 
moderately long, broad, rather more than one-half wider than the prothorax, the humeri swollen, obtuse ; 
deeply and coarsely punctate-striate, the interstices densely rugulose and strongly conyex, 3 and 5 here
