ANTHONOMUS. 191 
punctured at the tip, (2) a little longer and smoother, the antenne inserted about the middle in the ? 
and at two-fifths from the apex in the 3, joint 1 of the funiculus stout. Prothorax transverse, moderately 
rounded at the sides, narrowing from a little before the base, feebly constricted in front, densely punctate. 
Elytra considerably broader than the prothorax, gradually widening to about the middle, the humeri not 
prominent; punctate-striate, the interstices convex and minutely punctate. Legs rather short; femora 
each with a small acute tooth; anterior tibiew strongly sinuate within; tarsal claws with a long tooth. 
Length 14-13, breadth 4-7 millim. (d 9.) 
Hab. Guatemata, Cerro Zunil, Zapote, Capetillo, Duefias (Champion). 
Six specimens. A minute species, piceo-testaceous in colour, with the rostrum 
darker, thickly clothed with a uniform yellowish-grey pubescence, the femora each 
with a single acute tooth. The obovate shape and very small size separate it at once 
from the similarly-coloured A. fulvipes. 
68. Anthonomus teapensis, sp. n. 
Subovate, shining, rufo-piceous or ferruginous, the tibie, tarsi, and the base of the femora testaceous, the 
antenne testaceous, with the club black; sparsely clothed with rather coarse yellowish-grey or whitish 
pubescence, which is here and there coarser and condensed into small spots on the elytra, and shows a 
tendency to form three lines on the prothorax, the vestiture of the under surface whitish. Head foveate 
above the eyes, which are prominent; rostrum rather stout, curved, about as long as the head and 
prothorax, rugulosely punctate, and faintly carinate down the middle; joint 1 of the funiculus stout, 
3-7 small and closely articulated, 2-7 transverse, the club stout. Prothorax transverse, a little rounded 
at the sides, narrowed and feebly constricted in front, densely, rugulosely punctate. Elytra short, 
convex, much wider than the prothorax, subparallel towards the base, the humeri not prominent ; deeply 
punctate-striate, the interstices narrow, convex, and faintly punctulate. Femora each with a small 
tooth ; anterior tibie sinuate within ; tarsal claws with a long tooth. 
Length 2, breadth 1 millim. (¢ @.) 
Hab. Mexico, Teapa in Tabasco (H. H. Smith). 
Three specimens. Differs from the allied forms of similar size in having small inter- 
mixed clusters of coarser pubescence on the elytra. 
69. Anthonomus paleatus, sp. n. 
Subovate, shining, obscure ferruginous, the femora infuscate at the middle, the antennal club black; somewhat 
thickly clothed with coarse yellowish-grey pubescence, which is condensed into two curved indistinct 
fascie beyond the middle of each elytron, the vestiture of the under surface whitish. Head faintly foveate 
above the eyes ; rostrum curved, about as long as the head and prothorax, rugulosely punctate and faintly 
carinate, smooth at the tip, the antennx inserted at two-fifths from the apex. Prothorax transverse, 
rounded at the sides, narrowed and feebly constricted in front, densely, rugulosely punctate. Elytra 
short, convex, much wider than the prothorax, somewhat rounded at the sides, the humeri not prominent; 
deeply punctate-striate, the interstices narrow, convex, and faintly punctulate. Femora each with a 
small tooth; anterior tibie strongly sinuate within ; tarsal claws with a long tooth. 
Length 2, breadth 1 millim. (d.) 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
One specimen. Extremely like the Mexican A. teapensis, but with coarser and more 
abundant pubescence. ‘The faint fascie on the disc of each elytron are coalescent 
towards the suture.
