474. RHYNCHOPHORA. 
3. Acalles fulvovittatus, sp.n. (Tab. XXIII. fig. 11.) 
Oblong-ovate, convex, black, the antenne reddish; variegated with brown, fulvous, and whitish scales, the 
fulvous scales condensed into a median line and a broad sinuous vitta on each side of the prothorax, and 
the whitish ones into a transverse patch on the vertex and a large oblong patch on the apical declivity, 
the upper surface and legs also set with short, scattered, decumbent, whitish and brown sete. Head 
rugulosely, the rostrum more sparsely, punctate, the latter squamose at the base only; antenne inserted 
behind the middle of the rostrum, joints 1 and 2 of the funiculus subequal in length, the club stout, 
ovate. Prothorax slightly broader than long, nearly as wide as the elytra, rounded at the sides, abruptly 
narrowed and constricted in front, slightly hollowed at the base; densely, rugulosely punctate, the disc 
sulcate down the middle behind and transversely depressed in front. Elytra convex, ovate, scarcely 
wider than the prothorax at the base, produced and laterally compressed at the apex ; irregularly seriate 
punctate, the interstices rugulose and finely granulate, 2 with an oblong prominence at the commencement 
of the apical declivity and 3-7 also with similar elevations on the disc. Legs stout; anterior femora 
feebly unidentate. 
Length 5, breadth 22 millim. 
Hab. Guatemaua, Cerro Zunil 4000 feet ( Champion). 
One specimen. A species with a broad, fulvo-trivittate prothorax, and nodulose, 
granulate, ovate elytra, the latter produced posteriorly and with a large, oblong, 
whitish patch on the apical declivity. The rows of punctures on the elytra are sinuous 
on the disc. 
4. Acalles cinericius, sp. n. (Tab. XXIII. figg. 12, 12 a, 2.) 
Oblong-ovate, shining, black, the tarsi and antenne reddish ; thickly clothed with rather coarse cinereous 
scales, with very short, whitish, decumbent sete: intermixed, the head with a transverse white fascia on 
the vertex. Head and rostrum rugulosely punctate, the bare apical portion of the latter longer and a 
little smoother in the 9 than in the 3; antenne inserted behind the middle of the rostrum, joint 1 of 
the funiculus slightly longer than 2, 3-7 short, the club short-ovate. Prothorax almost as long as broad, 
rather convex, narrowed and constricted in front, subtruncate at the base, the anterior portion tubulate ; 
closely, finely punctate and sparsely granulate, the disc somewhat hollowed and with a short arched 
median carina. Elytra convex, rather short, subovate, very little wider at the base than the prothorax ; 
seriate-punctate and conspicuously granulate, the interstices 3 and 5 each with an oblong elevation at 
the base and another at the middle. Ventral segments 1 and 2 connate, the suture arched, 3 and 4 
extremely short, 5 depressed in the centre at the apex inthe ¢. Femora feebly unidentate. 
Length 4-45, breadth 2-23 millim. (¢ 2 -) 
Hab. Guatemaua, San Gerénimo ( Champion). 
Three specimens. A near ally of 4. indutus. 
5. Acalles cavicollis, sp.n. (Tab. XXIII. fige. 13, 13a.) 
Oblong-ovate, shining, black, the femora and tibize piceous, the apex of the rostrum, the antenne, and tarsi 
ferruginous ; clothed with brownish agglutinated scales and also with short, scattered, semierect sete, 
these latter becoming more condensed on the elytral tubercles, the legs finely setulose. Head and rostrum 
densely punctate, the latter much smoother at the tip; antenna inserted at the middle of the rostrum, 
joints 1 and 2 of the funiculus subequal in length, 3-7 short, the club ovate. Prothorax a little broader 
than long, constricted and narrowed in front, subtruncate at the base; closely punctate, the disc 
transversely depressed anteriorly, the depression extending broadly down the middle to the base, and also 
with a short median carina. Elytra pyriform, gibbous, scarcely wider at the base than the prothorax, the 
apex much produced, the basal margin raised; coarsely, interruptedly seriate-punctate, each elytron
