192 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
70. Anthonomus zunilensis, sp. n. 
Subovate, shining, fusco-testaceous, the middle of the femora, the rostrum, and antennal club darker; some- 
what thickly clothed with rather coarse yellowish-grey pubescence, which is here and there condensed on 
the elytra. Head rugulose; rostrum feebly curved, rather stout, a little longer than the head and 
prothorax, seriate-punctate and faintly carinate, the antenne slender, inserted at two-fifths from the 
apex. Prothorax transverse, moderately rounded at the sides, narrowed and constricted in front, densely, 
finely punctate. Elytra much wider than the prothorax, subparallel before the middle, rather short, 
slightly depressed on the disc below the base, the humeri not prominent ; punctate-striate, the interstices 
convex and faintly punctulate. Femora each with a rather long acute tooth; anterior tibie triangularly 
dilated, and the intermediate and hind tibie sinuate, within; tarsal claws with a long tooth. 
Length 2,1,, breadth 1,4, millim. (<d.) 
10? 
Hab. Guaremaua, Cerro Zunil (Champion). 
One specimen, somewhat abraded. Very like A. paleatus and A, teapensis, but with 
the rostrum and antenne longer, the femoral tooth more acute, the tibiae more sinuous 
within; the pubescence is finer than in A. paleatus. Compared with A. pausillus, the 
elytra are broader at the base, the pubescence is less uniform, and the rostrum and 
antenne are more elongate. The humeri are less prominent than in A. rodriguezt, 
A. rotundicollis, &c. 
A. squamans-group. 
71. Anthonomus squamans, sp. n. 
Oblong-ovate, convex, shining, black, the antenns and legs testaceous ; thickly clothed with small brownish- 
grey or greyish-white scales, sometimes with a median line on the prothorax, a short streak at the 
shoulders and two others on the fourth elytral interstice, the latter placed before and behind a faint 
brownish post-median fascia, whitish, the vestiture of the scutelluam and under surface white. Head 
rugulosely punctate, faintly sulcate between the eyes; rostrum (¢) rather stout, curved, about as long 
as the head and prothorax, rugulosely punctate and faintly carinate, smoother at the tip, (9 ) slightly 
longer, the antenne inserted at about the middle in the 9, and at two-fifths from the apex in the dg, 
joint 1 of the funiculus as long as 2 and 3 united. Prothorax transverse, rounded at the sides, narrowed 
and slightly constricted in front, densely, finely punctate. Elytra considerably wider than the prothorax, 
parallel towards the base, the humeri not prominent; deeply punctate-striate, the interstices convex aud 
minutely punctate. Anterior and intermediate femora each with a very minute tooth, which is sometimes 
obsolete, the posterior femora unarmed; anterior tibie feebly sinuate within; tarsal claws with a 
long tooth. 
Length 2, breadth 1 millim. (3 @.) 
Hab. Muxtco, Vera Cruz (Sallé). 
Five specimens. A minute species, thickly clothed with small greyish or whitish 
scales, and very like a small Tychius. The femoral tooth is sometimes obsolete or 
scarcely visible. 
72. Anthonomus tantillus, sp. n. 
Subovate, shining, testaceous, the tarsi and the outer half of the antenne slightly infuscate; somewhat thickly 
clothed with small yellowish-grey scales, the vestiture of the under surface whitish. Head rugulose ; 
rostrum curved, considerably longer than the head and prothorax, rugulosely punctate and finely carinate, 
much smoother at the tip, the antenne inserted at two-fifths from the apex, joint 1 of the funiculus as 
long as 2 and 8 united. Prothorax transverse, moderately rounded at the sides, narrowing from a little
