184 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
A. marmoratus-group. 
52. Anthonomus marmoratus, sp. n. (Tab. X. figg. 27, 274, 2.) 
Elongate-ovate, dull, ferruginous, mottled with piceous or black, especially towards the sides of the elytra, the 
underside (the abdomen excepted) rufo-piceous; the head and prothorax with sparse, and the elytra 
mottled with denser, ochreous pubescence; the scutellum and sternal side-pieces with a dense and rather 
coarse, and the rest of the under surface and the legs with a sparser, whitish pubescence. Head densely 
punctate, finely foveate above the eyes; rostrum () feebly curved, considerably longer than the head 
and prothorax, rugulosely punctate and 5-carinate, closely punctured at the tip, (2?) much longer and 
smoother, and very sparsely punctured beyond the middle, the antenne inserted at one-third from the 
apex in the g and at the middle in the 9, joint 1 of the funiculus as long as 2-4 united, 3-7 short, 
the club ovate. Prothorax broader than long, rounded at the sides from a little before the base, much 
narrowed and constricted in front, feebly bisinuate behind, densely punctate. Elytra slightly wider 
than the prothorax, oblong, subparallel in their basal half, somewhat flattened on the disc, the humeri 
obtuse and not prominent; punctate-striate, the interstices convex and densely rugulose. Legs long and 
rather stout ; anterior femora bidentate, the outer tooth small, the intermediate and hind femora each 
. with a single sharp tooth and a very minute one exterior to it ; anterior tibia simply curved; tarsal claws 
with a long tooth. 
Length 33-4, breadth 1-17 millim. (¢ 2.) 
Hab. Mexico, Tapachula in Chiapas (Hége: ¢); Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 
(Champion: @ ). 
One pair. Distinguishable by its elongate shape, the elytra very little wider than 
the prothorax and conspicuously mottled with ochreous pubescence, the anterior 
femora bidentate, the rostrum very long in the female. 
53. Anthonomus pruinosus, sp. n. (Tab. X. figg. 28, 28a, 2.) 
Elongate-obovate, dull, rufo-piceous, the antenne (the club excepted) and legs ferruginous or testaceous ; 
thickly clothed with a very fine yellowish-grey pubescence, which is here and there condensed into minute 
spots between the punctures of the elytral striw, the vestiture of the under surface dense and whitish. 
Head densely punctate; rostrum stout, feebly curved, a little longer than the head and prothorax, 
rugulosely punctate and 5-carinate, smoother at the tip, the antenne inserted at about two-fifths from the 
apex, joint 1 of the funiculus as long as 2-4 united, 3-7 short, the club ovate. Prothorax broader than 
long, rapidly narrowing from about the middle and constricted in front, feebly bisinuate at the base, 
densely, very finely punctate. Elytra rather long, slightly broader than the prothorax, widening to a 
little beyond the middle, the humeri obtuse and not prominent; finely punctate-striate, the punctures 
closely placed, the interstices almost flat and densely rugulose. Legs short and stout; anterior femora 
strongly clavate, bidentate, the teeth well separated, the outer one short; intermediate and hind femora 
each with a sharp tooth and a minnte one exterior to it; anterior tibiw curved, feebly sinuate within ; 
tarsal claws with a long tooth. 
Length 4;'5-43, breadth 13-12 millim. ( 9.) 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 2000-3000 feet (Champion). 
Two specimens, in a perfectly fresh condition. ‘This species is not unlike J. rubigi- 
nosus and A. marmoratus, but differs from both in the close, uniform pubescence of 
the upper surface, the more finely punctured prothorax, the posteriorly widened elytra, 
the shorter legs, stouter rostrum, &c.
