236 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
posteriorly ; finely seriate-punctate, the interstices flat and minutely, confusedly punctate. Fifth ventral 
segment feebly emarginate at the apex. Legs stout; femora each with a small, triangular tooth; 
anterior tibie feebly sinuate within. 
Length 74, breadth 3 millim. (<.-) 
Hab. Guatemata, San Gerénimo in Vera Paz (Champion). 
One specimen. This species somewhat resembles O. pellitus, but the vestiture is 
coarser, the sete are absent, the prothorax is finely punctured throughout, and the 
elytral interstices are without intermixed coarse punctures. The fulvous and white 
hairs are almost equally distributed over the entire surface, the legs included. 
7. Otidocephalus pelliceus, 
Otidocephalus pelliceus, Rosensk. in Schénh. Gen. Cure. vii. 2, p. 196°. 
Hab. Mexico! (Mus. Holm.: 3; Koppe, in Mus. Berol.: 2.) 
I have seen two specimens only of this species, including the type, both in very 
worn condition. O. pelliceus is not unlike O. pellitus, differing from that species in 
its more robust form, the short and stout rostrum in both sexes, and the smoother 
elytra, with the pubescence entirely decumbent. The general coloration is nigro- 
geneous (not black as described); the prothorax is closely and rather coarsely 
punctured, with the flanks smoother; the elytra are finely, confusedly punctate, with 
the seriate punctures very little coarser than those of the interstices, the pubescence 
whitish, long, rather coarse, and decumbent, without intermixed blackish sete. The 
prothorax is subcylindrical in the male, and a little rounded at the sides in the female. 
The femoral tooth is small and triangular. The male has the fifth ventral segment 
depressed in the middle behind and very feebly emarginate at the apex. 
8. Otidocephalus multilineatus, sp. n. (Tab. XIII. figg. 6, 6 a.) 
Elongate, black, shining ; clothed with rather long, decumbent, white pubescence, which on the elytra is 
concentrated into a comparatively broad line on the interstices 2, 4, 6, and 8, and a narrow one on each 
of the others. Head sparsely punctate, shallowly sulcate between the eyes, which are large, prominent, 
and somewhat widely separated ; rostrum not very stout, a little shorter than the prothorax, irregularly 
punctato-sulcate, smooth along the middle ; antenne with joint 2 of the funiculus about half the length 
of 1, 3-7 shorter, the club oblong-ovate. Prothorax moderately long, convex, a little narrowed in front 
and behind, thickly punctate, with a smooth median line anteriorly. Elytra three times the length of, 
and much wider than, the prothorax, gradually widening to about the middle, the humeri obtuse; finely 
punctate-striate, the interstices flat, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 each with a single, and 2, 4, 6, 8 with an irregular 
treble, row of minute punctures. Femora each with a small triangular tooth. Anterior tibie much 
curved externally and strongly sinuate within. . 
Length 63, breadth 24 millim. (?) 
Hab. Mexico, Cuernavaca in Morelos (Hége). 
One specimen. ecognizable by its elongate shape, the comparatively short 
prothorax, the multi-lineate arrangement of the elytral pubescence, the small femoral 
tooth, the curved anterior tibie, and the absence of erect sete on the elytra.
