ANTHONOMUS. 185 
54. Anthonomus subparallelus, sp. n. (Tab. X. figg. 29, 29a, ¢.) 
Elongate, ferruginous, the suture of the elytra and the metasternum darker; sparsely clothed with fine 
ochreous pubescence, the vestiture of the scutellum and under surface paler. Head densely, rugulosely 
punctate, the eyes widely separated, prominent, and somewhat coarsely facetted ; rostrum stout, feebly 
curved, a little longer than the 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 slightly broader than long, feebly rounded at the sides, narrowed 
and moderately constricted in front, densely, finely punctate. Elytra a little wider than the prothorax, 
elongate, widening to a short distance beyond the middle, the humeri obtuse and not prominent; some- 
what coarsely punctate-striate, the interstices convex and rugulose. Legs short and stout; anterior 
femora strongly clavate and bidentate, the teeth approximate, the outer tooth small, the intermediate and 
hind femora each with a single acute tooth; anterior tibie curved, feebly sinuate within ; tarsal claws 
with a long tooth. 
Length 3, breadth 14 millim. (¢.) 
Hab, Panama, Caldera in Chiriqui (Champion). 
One specimen. Very like A. pruinosus, but narrower, the pubescence sparse, the 
prothorax slightly rounded at the sides and less finely punctate, the elytra somewhat 
coarsely punctate-striate, with convex interstices, the teeth on the anterior femora 
closer together. 
A. rubiginosus-group. 
55. Anthonomus rubiginosus, sp. n. (Tab. X. figg. 30, 30a, d, 2.) 
Oblong-ovate, convex, opaque, ferruginous, mottled with piceous; very finely pubescent, the prothorax with a 
condensed line of ochreous hairs down the middle, and the scutellum and the elytral suture also with 
similarly-coloured pubescence, the under surface somewhat densely clothed with whitish hairs. Head 
densely punctate, foveate ; rostrum (d ) curved, about as long as the head and prothorax, rugulosely 
punctate and 5-carinate, smoother at the tip, (Q) a little longer and more curved, the antenne in the ¢ 
inserted at about one-third and in the Q at two-fifths from the apex, joint 1 of the funiculus nearly as 
long as 2-5 united, 3-6 short, 7 longer and stouter than 6, the club long and loosely articulated. 
Prothorax broader than long, rounded at the sides from a little before the base, much narrowed and 
constricted in front, densely punctate. LElytra a little wider than the prothorax, subparallel in their 
basal third, the humeri obtuse and not prominent; punctate-striate, the interstices convex and densely 
rugulose. Legs elongate ; anterior femora bidentate, the outer tooth very small, the intermediate and hind 
femora unidentate; anterior tibie strongly sinuous within; tarsal claws with a long tooth. Pygidium 
exposed, and the fifth ventral segment emarginate, in the d. 
Length 34-32, breadth 13-1,% millim. (¢ Q.) 
Hab. Panama, David in Chiriqui (Champion). 
One pair, from the savana-region of the Pacific coast. More convex and less 
elongate than A. marmoratus, the antennal club long and loosely articulated, the 
rostrum shorter and more curved, the elytra not mottled with ochreous pubescence, 
the anterior tibie strongly sinuate within*. The condensed line of pubescence down 
the middle of the prothorax is continued along the suture in the present species. 
* In the Pascoe collection there is a very similar insect from Brazil.
