PSEUDANTHONOMUS. 197 
One specimen. Allied to the N.-American P. crategi (Walsh) (a specimen of which 
has been sent us by Mr. Wickham), but less elongate, the elytra being relatively 
shorter and broader, the rostrum longer, the pubescence evenly distributed. The 
broad elytra and sparse yellowish pubescence separate P. rufotestaceus from the other 
similarly-coloured allied Central-American forms. 
6. Pseudanthonomus meridionalis, sp. n. 
Subovate, ferruginous, the eyes and antennal elub black; thickly clothed with fine greyish pubescence, the 
vestiture of the scutellum and under surface whitish. Head rugulosely punctate, the eyes very prominent 
and rather narrowly separated ; rostrum (¢) stout, moderately curved, about as long as the prothorax, 
rugulosely punctate, smoother and shining beyond the middle, ( @ ) slightly longer, the scrobes rapidly 
descending to beneath the eyes; antennew inserted at (@) or slightly before (¢) the middle of the 
rostrum, the funiculus 6-jointed, joint 1 stout, 2-6 small and closely articulated, 2 much longer than 3, 
4 very short, 5 and 6 a little longer than 4. Prothorax transverse, rounded at the sides, narrowed and 
constricted in front, strongly sinuate at the base, densely punctate. Elytra short, convex, much wider 
than the prothorax, subparallel before the middle; deeply punctate-striate, the interstices convex and 
faintly punctulate. Legs rather slender, the femora moderately clavate and each with a minute tooth, 
that on the hind pair almost obsolete; anterior tibie sinuate within ; tarsal claws with a long tooth. 
Length 13-2, breadth 1 millim. (¢ @.) 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
Seven specimens. Very like the N.-American P. crategi (Walsh), but less elongate, 
the elytra relatively shorter, the rostrum smoother beyond the middle. The shorter 
and stouter rostrum, with more rapidly descending scrobes, the finer, closer, and 
greyish pubescence, and the narrower general shape separate it from P. rufotestaceus. 
7. Pseudanthonomus griseipilis, sp. n. 
Subovate, obscure ferruginous or piceous, the rostrum sometimes black, the legs ferruginous, with the femora 
usually blackish in their outer half; thickly clothed with greyish pubescence. Head rugulosely punctate, 
the eyes prominent and somewhat narrowly separated; rostrum (3) moderately stout, feebly curved, a 
little longer than the prothorax, rugulosely punctate to near the tip, (2) more elongate, the antenne 
inserted at (Q) or slightly before (¢) the middle, the funiculus 6-jointed, joint 1 stout, 2 a little longer 
than 3, 3-6 subequal in length. Prothorax, elytra, and legs as in P. meridionaks. 
Length 2-2,4,, breadth 1 millim. (¢ 2.) 
Hab. Guaremaua, San Geronimo, San Juan, and Cahabon in Vera Paz (Champion). 
Five specimens. This species differs from P. meridionalis in having the rostrum 
more rugose, and also longer in the female, the joints 2-6 of the funiculus less closely 
articulated, 3-6 subequal in length. 
8 Pseudanthonomus nubilosus, sp.n. (P. nudilus, Tab. XI. fige. 16, 16a, 3 .) 
Oblong-ovate, narrow, ferruginous, the antennal club piceous or black ; sparsely clothed with rather coarse, 
white or yellowish-white pubescence, which is condensed along the middle and sides of the prothorax 
and on the scutellum, and forms definite markings on the elytra—a short streak at the base of the suture, 
a spot at the shoulder, an oblique fascia a little beyond the middle, and a transverse, interrupted fascia 
towards the apex. Head rugulosely punctate, the eyes rather small; rostrum stout, curved, a little 
longer than the prothorax, rugulose, smooth and shining at the extreme tip, the scrobes rapidly de 
scending ; antenne inserted at about one-third from the apex of the rostrum, the funiculus 6-jointed, 
joints 9-6 short. Prothorax transverse, narrowing almost from the base, feebly constricted in front,
