ANTHONOMUS. 183 
50. Anthonomus unipustulatus, sp. n. (Tab. X. figg. 25, 25a, 3.) 
Subovate, nigro- or rufo-piceous, the tip of the rostrum and the abdomen ferruginous, the antenne (the 
club excepted) and legs testaceous ; thickly pubescent, the pubescence grey in colour, except between 
the eyes, on the scutellum, and along the suture at the base, where it is white, the elytra with 
a small rounded space on the suture before the middle almost bare; the vestiture of the under 
surface whitish. Head rugulose; rostrum rather stout, strongly curved, not longer than the head and 
prothorax, closely seriate-punctate and finely carinate, smoother and shining at the tip, the antenne 
inserted at about one-third from the apex, joint 1 of the funiculus as long as 2-4 united, joints 3-7 very 
short and closely articulated. Prothorax transverse, rounded at the sides, narrowed and constricted in 
front, densely punctate. Elytra convex, one-half wider than the prothorax, comparatively short, sub- 
parallel at the base, the humeri obtuse and slightly swollen ; punctate-striate, the interstices feebly convex 
and finely rugulose. Legs rather short; femora each with a minute tooth, that on the intermediate and 
hind pairs extremely small, the anterior pair feebly clavate; anterior tibie feebly sinuate within; tarsal 
claws with a long tooth. 
Length 2, breadth 1 millim. (¢.) 
Hab. Guatemata, San Gerdénimo (Champion). 
‘Two specimens. Very like a small Ceuthorrhynchus in general facies. Smaller than 
A. monostigma, the rostrum carinate and shorter, the suture clothed with white pubes- 
cence at the base, the anterior femora feebly clavate and with a single minute tooth, 
the tooth on the other femora so minute as to be not easily seen. The almost bare 
space on the suture has the appearance of a dark spot, owing to the close surrounding 
pubescence. 
A. curvirostris-group. 
51. Anthonomus curvirostris, sp.n. (Tab. X. figg. 26, 26a, 2.) 
Oblong-ovate, convex, ferruginous, the elytra each with an irregular patch or fascia beyond the middle and a 
smaller patch between it and the apex black or piceous, the femora paler at the base (but not infuscate 
at the middle), the tarsal claws black ; sparsely clothed with grey or yellowish pubescence, which is more 
condensed down the middle of the prothorax, on the scutellum, and before and behind the dark markings 
on the elytra; the vestiture of the under surface whitish. Head rugulose, the eyes moderately large ; 
rostrum (¢ ) slightly longer than the head and prothorax, rather stout, shining, strongly curved, seriate- 
punctate and feebly carinate, smoother at the tip, (@ ) more curved, and a little longer and smoother, the 
antenns inserted at the middle in the Q and at about two-fifths from the apex in the ¢, joint 1 of the 
funiculus as long as 2-4 united, 3-7 short. Prothorax much broader than long, transversely convex, 
rounded at the sides, narrowed and constricted in front, densely punctate. Hlytra shining, a little wider 
than the prothorax, moderately long, subparallel in their basal half, the humeri rounded, the basal 
margin strongly raised inwards; coarsely punctate-striate, the interstices convex and finely punctulate. 
Legs comparatively stout ; femora each with an acute triangular tooth; anterior and intermediate tibiae 
sinuous within; tarsal claws with a short tooth. 
Length 233,45, breadth 14-13 millim. (d 2-) 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui, Bugaba (Champion). 
Five specimens. A species of oblong-ovate form, ferruginous in colour, the elytra 
each with two blackish patches or fascie beyond the middle, and these almost 
surrounded by sinouus bands of denser pubescence, the rostrum strongly curved in both 
sexes, the legs comparatively short and stout, the tarsal claws with a short tooth. 
A. curvirostris is not very closely allied to any of the other Anthonomi here enumerated ; 
it somewhat resembles the European A. chevrolatt, Desbr.
