1. Pseudanthonomus guttatus, sp.n. (Tab. XI. figg. 13, 134, 4, 3.) 
Ovate, rather broad, obscure ferruginous, mottled with darker colour, the elytra with the alternate interstices 
interruptedly lineate with black or piceous, the antennal scape, the base of the femora, and the tibiz 
ferruginous or testaceous ; clothed with rather coarse, squamiform, yellowish-grey pubescence, which is 
whitish and condensed in places, forming a faint median vitta on the prothorax and several conspicuous 
spots on the elytra—one behind the scutellum, one at the base near the shoulder, and two on each of the 
alternate interstices, these latter forming two curved fasciee beyond the middle; the squamosity dense at 
the sides beneath. Head rugulose; rostrum (3) moderately curved, slightly longer than the head and 
prothorax, rugulose, smoother at the tip, (Q ) a little longer and smoother, the antennz inserted at two- 
fifths from the apex in the ¢ and at the middle in the 9, the scrobes lateral, shallow, the funiculus 
6-jointed, 1 nearly as long as 2-4 united. Prothorax transverse, rounded at the sides, much narrowed 
and a little constricted in front, densely punctate. Elytra broad and comparatively short, the humeri 
rounded ; deeply punctate-striate, the interstices convex and punctulate. Legs rather short; femora 
each with an acute triangular submedian tooth; anterior and intermediate tibiw sinuate within, the 
posterior pair curved in the ¢ and sinuous in the Q ; tarsal claws with a long tooth. 
Length 23-2%, breadth 13 millim. (¢ @.) 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
Found in numbers at Bugaba. A very distinct species, somewhat resembling a small 
Cionus, the funiculus 6-jointed, the condensed whitish spots on the alternate interstices 
of the elytra arranged so as to form two curved fasciew, the intervening spaces being 
streaked with black. The femoral tooth, as in P. curvicrus, arises from near the 
middle. 
2. Pseudanthonomus curvicrus, sp. n. (Tab. XI. figg. 14, 14, b 3.) 
Oblong-ovate, nigro-piceous, the scape and funiculus of the antenne testaceous ; sparsely clothed with a fine 
grey pubescence. Rostrum stout, curved, scarcely longer than the prothorax, rugulose and longitudinally 
wrinkled, the antenne inserted at about two-fifths from the apex, the funiculus 6-jointed; eyes small 
and not prominent. Prothorax slightly broader than long, narrowing from a little before the base and: 
feebly constricted in front, densely punctate. Elytra convex, shining, much wider than the prothorax, 
moderately long, subparallel in their basal half, the humeri not prominent ; deeply punctate-striate, the 
interstices narrow, convex, and faintly punctate. Femora feebly clavate, each with a small, acute, 
median tooth; all the tibie strongly and simply curved; tarsi short and stout, the claws with a 
long tooth. 
Length 1,%, breadth 7% millim. (¢.) 
10? 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
One specimen. Readily recognizable by the strongly curved tibie, short, stout tarsi, 
and 6-jointed funiculus, the femoral tooth placed at the middle, instead of towards 
the apex, as usual. P. curvicrus approaches the subgenus Cnemocyllus, Dietz, of 
Anthonomus.
