190 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
A. parvidens-group. 
65. Anthonomus parvidens, sp. n. (Tab. XI. figg. 10, 104, 6 .) 
Elongate-ovate, narrow, shining, piceous, the antenne (the club excepted) testaceous, the legs annulated with 
the same colour; very sparsely clothed with ochreous pubescence, which is here and there condensed 
into spots on the elytra. Head sparsely punctate ; rostrum rather stout, a little longer than the head 
and prothorax, moderately curved, dull and rugulose, smoother and shining at the tip, the antenne 
inserted at about one-third from the apex, joint 1 of the funiculus about as long as 2-4 united, 3-7 trans- 
verse, scarcely widening outwards, the club comparatively stout. Prothorax convex, transverse, rounded 
at the sides, narrowed and slightly constricted in front, strongly bisinuate at the base, coarsely, closely 
punctate. Elytra oblong, a little broader than the prothorax, gradually widening to slightly beyond the 
middle, the humeri not prominent ; coarsely punctate-striate, the interstices narrow and convex. Legs 
slender, the anterior pair elongate ; femora each with a minute tooth, the anterior pair moderately clavate ; 
anterior tibie sinuate within; tarsal claws with a long tooth. 
Length 13, breadth § millim. (d.) 
Hab. Guaremata, Purula in Vera Paz (Champion). 
One somewhat immature specimen. A very small, narrow, elongate species, piceous 
in colour, the prothorax and elytra coarsely punctured, shining, and very sparsely 
pubescent, the legs long and slender, the femora with a minute tooth. 
A. fulvipes-group. 
66. Anthonomus fulvipes, sp. n. 
Oblong-ovate, convex, black, the elytra piceous or reddish-brown, the antenne (the club excepted), the apex 
of the abdomen, and the legs testaceous, the anterior femora sometimes infuscate; thickly clothed with 
rather long ochreous or greyish-ochreous pubescence. Head rugulosely punctate, foveate above the eyes ; 
rostrum rather stout, considerably longer than the head and prothorax, moderately curved, rugulosely 
punctate and sometimes very finely carinate down the middle, smooth, bare, and shining at the extreme tip 
only, the antenne in the Q inserted very near the middle and in the ¢ at about one-third from the apex, 
joint 1 of the funiculus nearly as long as 2-4 united. Prothorax transverse, the sides arcuately converging 
from a little before the base and feebly constricted in front, the surface densely punctate. Elytra moderately 
long, much wider than the prothorax, subparallel towards the base, the humeri rounded ; punctate-striate, 
the interstices punctulate and feebly convex. Anterior and intermediate femora each with a short tooth, 
that on the hind pair very minute or obsolete, the anterior pair strongly clavate ; tibie strongly sinuous 
within ; tarsal claws with a long tooth. 
Length 2-22, breadth 1-14 millim. (d 2.) 
Hab. Mexico, Toxpam (Sallé), Cordova, Jalapa (Hoge). 
Found in plenty at Cordova. The chief characters of this small species are the 
uniformly coloured ochraceous or greyish pubescence, the pale legs, the rugulose 
rostrum in both sexes (the extreme tip only being smooth and shining), and the 
almost or quite unarmed posterior femora. 
67. Anthonomus pauxillus, sp. n. 
Obovate, piceo-testaceous, the rostrum and antennal club piceous or black, the rest of the antenne and the 
legs testaceous, the anterior femora sometimes partly infuscate; thickly clothed with yellowish-grey 
pubescence, the vestiture of the under surface whitish. Head rugulose, feebly sulcate above ; rostrum ( 3) 
moderately curved, about as long as the head and prothorax, rugulose and faintly carinate, sparsely
