some distance below the base, a system of coloration also occurring in other allied forms, 
and the bare spaces are so arranged as to form two common, irregular, curved fasciz 
beyond the middle. 
48. Anthonomus v-notatus, sp.n. (Tab. X. figg. 23, 23 a, 2.) 
Subovate, ferruginous, the metasternum infuscate or blackish, the tibie: and tarsi and the base of each of the 
femora flavo-testaceous, the anterior femora infuscate in the middle; thickly clothed with fine greyish- 
white or yellowish pubescence, that on the prothorax sparser, but condensed into a sharply-defined vitta 
along the middle, the elytra with a common V-shaped mark extending to the middle and a trans- 
verse >€-shaped mark (sometimes interrupted at the suture) beyond it almost bare ; the vestiture paler 
beneath, becoming dense at the sides. Head rugulose, finely foveate above, the eyes prominent ; rostrum 
(¢) curved, about as long as the head and prothorax, seriate-punctate and finely carinate, smoother and 
shining beyond the middle, (@ ) slightly longer and smoother, the antennee inserted at about one-third 
from the apex in the ¢, and a little further back in the 9, joint 1 of the funiculus as long as 2-4 united. 
Prothorax transverse, rounded at the sides, narrowed and feebly constricted in front, densely punctate. 
Elytra one-half wider than the prothorax, rather short, subparallel towards the base, the humeri 
rounded; deeply punctate-striate, the interstices convex and punctulate, the suture slightly raised a 
little before the middle. Anterior and intermediate femora each with a long tooth, the anterior pair also 
with a minute one exterior to it, hind femora with a very small tooth; anterior tibie strongly sinuate 
within ; tarsal claws with a long tooth. 
Length 2, breadth 1 millim. (¢ 2.) 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba, San Feliz (Champion). 
Eight specimens. This species may be easily distinguished by the shape of the bare 
spaces on the elytra, and by the suture of the latter being swollen before the middle. 
A. monostigma-group. 
49, Anthonomus monostigma, sp.n. (Tab. X. figg. 24, 24a, 3.) 
Ovate, ferruginous, the elytra with a common, rounded, slightly infuscate patch extending across the suture 
before the middle, the anterior femora black in the centre behind; densely clothed with greyish-ochreous 
pubescence, that on the scutellum and under surface whitish, the spot on the elytra almost bare. Head 
rugulose, finely foveate above ; rostrum shining, about as long as the head and prothorax, rather stout, 
curved, finely seriate-punctate, sparsely punctured 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 transverse, rounded at 
the sides, constricted and greatly narrowed in front, densely punctate. Elytra convex, rather short, a 
little wider than the prothorax, feebly rounded at the sides, the humeri obtuse ; deeply punctate-striate, 
the interstices convex and minutely punctulate. Legs comparatively short ; anterior femora strongly 
clavate, and armed with a long, acute tooth and a minute one exterior to it, the intermediate and hind 
femora each with a single acute tooth; anterior tibie feebly sinuate within; tarsal claws with a 
long tooth. 
Length 2, breadth 1,4, millim. (<.) 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 3000 feet (Champion). 
One specimen. A small species, of ovate form and ferruginous colour, with a bare, 
rounded, slightly darker patch on the suture before the middle, the rest of the upper 
surface densely clothed with greyish-ochreous pubescence.
