ANTHONOMUS. 181 
Hab. Mexico, Jalapa (Hoge), Teapa (H. H. Smith). 
Three specimens. Nearly allied to the Guatemalan A. venustus, but without the 
intricate markings on the elytra, the rostrum less polished towards the tip, the teeth 
on the anterior femora not quite so stout, the anterior tibie sinuous within. 
46. Anthonomus melanostictus, sp. n. 
Subovate, dull, ferruginous, the elytra with a streak on the suture below the base, and three shorter streaks (one 
on each of the alternate interstices, 3, 5, 7) exterior to it, black, the rostrum, antenne, and legs testaceous, 
the anterior femora and tibize annulate with black or piceous ; thickly clothed with ochreous and whitish 
squamiform pubescence, the latter condensed into three lines on the prothorax and various interrupted 
lines on the elytra, the short intervening spaces on the alternate interstices of the latter being almost 
bare, the vestiture of the under surface whitish. Head rugulosely punctate; rostrum much longer than 
the head and prothorax, seriate-punctate and faintly carinate, smoother at the tip, the antenne inserted 
at about one-third from the apex, joint 1 of the funiculus nearly as long as 2-4 united. Prothorax 
strongly transverse, rounded at the sides, much narrowed and constricted in front, densely punctate. 
Elytra convex, considerably wider than the prothorax, subparallel before the middle, the humeri promi- 
nent and somewhat obliquely truncated ; deeply punctate-striate, the interstices strongly convex and 
punctulate, 3, 5, and 7 and the suture a little raised towards the base. Anterior femora strongly 
clavate and sharply bidentate ; intermediate and hind femora each with a short tooth, that on the hind 
pair minute; anterior tibie strongly bowed; tarsal claws with a long tooth. 
Length 23, breadth 13 millim. (¢.) 
Hab. Panama, David (Champion). 
One specimen. Very like the Mexican A. cinereus, but easily separable therefrom 
by the black streak on the suture and on each of the alternate elytral interstices 
towards the base, the elytra also with short, almost bare spaces interrupting the lines 
of whitish pubescence. The anterior tibize are simply bowed, as in A. venustus. 
47, Anthonomus calvescens, sp. n. (Tab. X. figg. 22, 22a, ¢.) 
Subovate, ferruginous, the elytra with a slightly darker patch extending across the suture before the middle, the 
base of the femora, the tibie, and tarsi (the claws excepted) flavo-testaceous, the antennal club infuscate ; 
the scutellum and a median line on the prothorax densely clothed with white pubescence, the rest of the 
latter extremely finely pubescent, the elytra with interrupted lines of yellowish pubescence, leaving two 
common, irregular, curved fascie beyond the middle, a space at the base, and the sutural patch almost 
bare; the vestiture of the under surface and legs whitish. Head rugulose, foveate above the eyes; 
rostrum considerably longer than the head and prothorax, shining, seriate-punctate, smoother at the tip, the 
antennee inserted at about two-thirds from the apex, joint 1 of the funiculus nearly as long as 2-4 united. 
Prothorax transverse, rounded at the sides, much narrowed and feebly constricted in front, densely 
punctate. Elytra somewhat gibbous, moderately long, much wider than the prothorax, subparalle] 
before the middle, transversely depressed below the base, the humeri rounded ; deeply punctate-striate, 
the interstices strongly convex and finely punctulate. Anterior femora with a stout triangular tooth 
and a small tooth exterior to it, the intermediate femora with a small tooth and the posterior pair with a 
minute one; anterior tibie strongly sinuate ; tarsal claws with a long tooth. 
Length 23, breadth 13 millim. (¢.) 
Hab. Guatemaa, Cubilguitz in Vera Paz (Champion). 
One specimen. In this insect the elytra have a large infuscate spot on the suture
