284 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
prothorax, shining, closely punctate, finely carinate down the middle to near the apex and longitudinally 
suleate on each side of the carina anteriorly ; antennal club about as long as the funiculus. Prothorax 
nearly as broad as the elytra, transversely convex, rounded at the sides, abruptly narrowed and constricted 
in front; the surface uneven, sharply carinate down the middle, the disc with raised, radiating lines, the 
base, apex, and flanks coarsely, closely punctate. Elytra moderately long, compressed at the sides 
before the middle, and transversely depressed at the apex; with narrow, finely punctured striz, the 
interstices alutaceous, transversely wrinkled, and asperate and angularly raised externally. Pygidium 
rugosely punctate, in some specimens obsoletely carinate towards the apex. Anterior femora with a 
rather long, straight, truncated tooth, the intermediate and posterior femora also with a short tooth, 
that on the posterior pair almost obsolete. 
Length 3-4, breadth 14-2 millim. (@.) 
Hab. Mexico, Cordova (Sallé); GUATEMALA, Cerro Zunil, Zapote, Capetillo 
(Champion). 
Seven specimens, all females, the Guatemalan examples differing from the others in 
having the prothorax more uneven on the disc. The carinate, sulcate rostrum, the 
unemarginate eyes, the uninterrupted prothoracic carina, the less uneven elytra, &c., 
separate this species from L. radiatus, at least in the female sex, the males of both 
being unknown. . 
4. Leemosaccus hamatus, sp.n. (Tab. XIV. figg. 23, 23 a, 6, 2.) 
Oblong, somewhat shining ; black, the antenne, the anterior margin of the prothorax, the scutellar region, 
humeri, apex, and a spot or an oblique angulated fascia on the disc of each elytron, a patch above the 
anterior cox, and the legs in great part or entirely, ferruginous ; the elytra with a few yellowish scales 
behind the scutellum, the under surface with pectinate white scales. Head dull, minutely punctate, the 
eyes rather narrowly separated ; rostrum (d) very short, stout, dull, rugulosely punctate, ( Q ) longer, 
slightly curved, subcylindrical, shining, rather closely punctate ; antennal club about as long as the 
funiculus. Prothorax nearly or quite as broad as the elytra, transversely convex, rounded at the sides, 
abruptly narrowed and constricted in front; the surface uneven, carinate down the middle, the dise with 
radiating, raised lines, the base, apex, and flanks coarsely, closely punctate. Elytra moderately long, 
with narrow, finely punctured striw, the interstices alutaceous, transversely wrinkled, and angularly 
raised externally. Pygidium rugosely punctate, in the ? obsoletely carinate. Anterior femora with a 
rather long, narrow, truncated, somewhat hooked tooth, the intermediate and hind femora feebly 
dentate. 
Length 23-8, breadth 13-13 millim. (¢ 2.) 
Hab. Mxxico, Paso del Macho (Hége: ¢); Guaremaua, Capetillo (Champion: ¢ .) 
One pair, the male having the red markings on the elytra more extended, the median 
spot being developed into an angulated fascia and confluent with the apical patch. 
The disc of the prothorax is sculptured as in L. exsculptus ; the anterior femoral tooth 
is narrower than in that species and hooked at the tip. 
5. Leemosaccus salebrosus, sp.n. (Tab. XIV. figg. 24, 24a, 5, 2.) 
Lemosaccus salebrosus, Jekel, m litt. 
Robust, rather dull, black, the base and apical margin of the elytra, and the prothorax in part, sometimes 
rufous or reddish, the antenne, tarsi, and often the femora and tibie in part, ferruginous; the under 
surface clothed with whitish pectinate scales. Head dull, alutaceous, and minutely punctate, slightly 
depressed between the eyes, which are somewhat widely separated ; rostrum short, in the ¢ dull and
