other Central-American forms in the almost straight, long, slender rostrum. In the 
emarginate prosternum it approaches A. tevanus. In general facies the present species 
is very like a Tychius or Sibinia. 
A, stupulosus-group. 
61. Anthonomus stupulosus, sp.n. (Tab. XI. figg. 7, 7a, 2.) 
Broad-ovate, nigro-piceous or black, the rostrum (except towards the base), the antenne (the club excepted), 
and legs in great part, ferruginous ; densely clothed with long, coarse, yellowish-grey or greyish-white 
pubescence, the elytra faintly mottled or spotted with fuscous ; the vestiture of the under surface whitish 
or yellowish. Head rugulosely punctate, the eyes widely separated ; rostrum ( ¢ ) rather stout, moderately 
curved, about as long as the head and prothorax, rugulosely punctate and faintly carinate, becoming 
sparsely punctate, bare, and shining at the tip, (Q) longer and more curved, with the apical half bare, 
smooth, and shining, the antennw in the ¢ inserted a little before and in the 9 a little behind the middle, 
joint 1 of the.funiculus twice as long as 2. Prothorax convex, broader than long, the sides arcuately 
converging almost from the base, the surface densely, finely punctate. lytra much wider than the 
prothorax, rather short, the humeri rounded ; punctate-striate, the interstices rugulose and feebly convex. 
Femora each with a minute tooth, the anterior pair very little thicker than the others; anterior tibie 
only unguiculate at the apex, feebly sinuous within ; tarsal claws with a long tooth. 
Length 33-4, breadth 2-2;4, millim. (d @.) 
Hab. Guatemata, San Gerénimo and Tocoy in Baja Vera Paz (Champion). 
Nine specimens, probably obtained by sweeping in arid places. This species is very 
like a Tychius, and is so densely pubescent that the sculpture is in great part hidden. 
The femoral tooth is minute on all the legs. The outer half of the rostrum in the 
female is smooth, bare, and shining. In some examples there are distinct fuscous 
spots on the elytra. A. stupulosus belongs to the A. sguamosus-group of Dietz. 
62. Anthonomus griseisquamis, sp. n. 
Very like A. stupulosus, but with the dense greyish vestiture coarser and squamiform, this being particularly 
noticeable on the flanks of the prothorax and on the under surface, the elytra faintly mottled with fulvous ; 
the femoral tooth still more minute, that on the hind pair obsolete. 
Length 34, breadth 2 millim. (¢.) 
Hab. Mexico (Sal/é). 
One male. In this insect the vestiture is scale-like and less piliform than in 
A. stupulosus, and the femoral tooth is still more minute, that on the hind pair being 
obsolete. It approaches the North-American A. sguamosus, Lec., but is less elongate 
and has a much shorter rostrum, &c., the latter, moreover, having conspicuously 
toothed femora. 
A, triangulifer-group. 
63. Anthonomus triangulifer, sp.n. (Tab. XI. figg. 8, 8a, 4, 3.) 
Subovate, ferruginous or testaceous, the rostram sometimes with the outer half or two-thirds infuscate or 
black, the elytra with a common, large, triangular patch at the base, and usually a spot or transverse 
mark on the disc beyond this, black or piceous; clothed with fine greyish or yellowish-grey pubescence,
