198 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
densely, somewhat coarsely punctate. Elytra a little wider than the prothorax, oblong, subparallel in 
their basal half; deeply punctate-striate, the interstices convex, finely punctulate, and shining. Femora 
unarmed ; tibiee sinuous within, the anterior pair strongly unguiculate, the intermediate and hind pairs 
also with a small hook at the inner apical angle; tarsal claws almost simple. 
Length 2, breadth 1 millim. (¢.) 
Hab. Mexico, Omilteme in Guerrero 8000 feet (HZ. H. Smith); Guatemaa, Quezal- 
tenango 7800 feet (Champion). 
Two specimens. This insect so closely resembles the North-American Anthonomus 
nubilus, Lec. (which belongs to Pseudanthonomus, as adopted here), that it was at first 
mistaken by me for the male of that species, from which it may be separated, however, 
by the very strongly unguiculate anterior tibie, the stouter rostrum, and the less 
rounded sides of the prothorax. 
9. Pseudanthonomus cretaceus, sp.n. (Tab. XI. figg. 17, 17 a.) 
Elongate-ovate, narrow, nigro-piceous, the elytra, rostrum, and femora obscure ferruginous, the antenne (the 
club excepted), tibia, and tarsi rufo-testaceous ; thickly clothed with coarse, oval or rounded, whitish 
scales, the squamosity of the prothorax and elytra mottled with pale brown. Head rugulosely punctate, 
foveate above the eyes, the latter small and not prominent; rostrum curved, comparatively stout, not 
longer than the head and prothorax, rugulose, smoother at the tip, the serobes deep, descending to beneath 
the eyes; antenne inserted at about two-fifths from the apex of the rostrum, the funiculus 6-jointed, 
joint 1 as long as 2 and 3 united. Prothorax transverse, rounded at the sides, gradually narrowing from 
a little before the base to the apex, densely punctate. Elytra oblong, convex, not much wider than the 
prothorax, the humeri obtuse ; coarsely punctate-striate, the interstices narrow, convex, and faintly 
punctulate. Legs rather stout, squamose ; anterior femora with a very minute tooth, the others un- 
armed ; anterior tibia sinuate within; tarsal claws with a short, slender tooth. 
Length 21, breadth 1,5 millim. (d ?) 
Hab. Mexico, near the city (H. H. Smith), 
One specimen. Very like a narrow, elongate Zychius. ‘The coarse squamosity, the 
6-jointed funiculus, and general shape distinguish it at once from all the other allied 
Central-American forms. 
10. Pseudanthonomus hispidus, sp.n. (Tab. XI. figg. 18, 18a, 2.) 
Subovate, rufo-piceous, the rostrum ferruginous at the base and black at the tip, the legs ferruginous; densely 
elothed with yellowish-grey pubescence, that on the upper surface and legs intermixed with very long, 
pallid, pointed, erect: sete, which are serially arranged on the elytra. Rostrum strongly curved, stout, 
about as long as the head and prothorax, seriate-punctate, the scrobes descending to beneath the eyes, 
which are transverse and prominent; antennse inserted at the middle of the rostrum, the funiculus 
6-jointed. Prothorax transverse, narrowed and slightly constricted in front, strongly sinuate at the 
pase, densely punctate. Elytra much wider than the prothorax, short, subparallel before the middle, 
somewhat lobed at the base, the humeri prominent; punctate-striate, the interstices convex and rugulose. 
Prosternum emarginate in front. Femora unarmed; tibis without claw at the apex; tarsal claws with 
a moderately long tooth. 
Length 1,%,, breadth 1 millim. (@.) 
Hab. Guatemaua, San Gerdénimo (Champion). 
One specimen. This insect agrees with Anthonomus (Anthonomocheta) heterogenus, 
Dietz, of the United States, in having very long, erect sete intermixed with the dense 
pubescence; but the funiculus is 6-jointed, the rostrum is stout, the eyes prominent, &e.
