ACALLES, ATT 
coarse, mottled, light and dark brown squamosity ; the extremely short, fine, numerous 
sete ; and the dentate femora. The very narrow metathoracic episterna are just visible. 
The ventral segments | and 2 are subconnate, with the suture arched, 2 a little longer 
than 3 and 4 united. The type has been lent us for examination by Dr. Sjéstedt. 
11. Acalles tricinctus, sp.n. (Tab. XXIII. fig. 17.) 
Somewhat pyriform, convex, shining, rufo-piceous, variegated with black, the black markings condensed into 
two spots on the dise of the prothorax and three interrupted transverse fascie on the elytra; the light- 
coloured portions of the surface clothed with coarse ochreous scales, the upper surface and legs also 
thickly set with short, erect, clubbed sete. Head and rostrum closely punctate, the extreme tip only of 
the latter bare; antenne inserted at the middle of the rostrum, joint 1 of the funiculus longer than 2, 
the club ovate, moderately large. Prothorax transverse, narrowed and constricted in front, truncate at 
the base; rather coarsely punctate, the narrow interspaces rugulose. Elytra ovate, convex, of the same 
width as the prothorax at the base ; coarsely seriate-punctate, the interstices narrow, raised, and some- 
what rugulose. Legs short and stout, the femora finely dentate, the tibia almost straight on their inner 
edge. 
Length 23, breadth 13 millim. 
Hab. Guatemaa, San Juan in Vera Paz (Champion). 
One specimen. A small, isolated form, with coarsely punctured trifasciate elytra, 
thickly setose upper surface, toothed femora, &c. The North-American A. clavatus 
seems to approach it. 
12. Acalles foveolatus, sp. n. 
Oblong-ovate, shining, black, variegated with rufous; very sparsely clothed with short, clubbed, fulvous setw, 
the head and prothorax also with agglutinated brownish scales. Head finely punctate; rostrum 
rugulosely punctate and feebly tricarinate at the base, for the rest’ almost smooth, the antenne inserted 
near the middle, joints 2-7 of the funiculus closely articulated, becoming wider outwards, 2 shorter than 1. 
Prothorax broader than long, rounded at the sides, narrowed and constricted in front, truncate at the 
base ; densely, rugulosely punctate, slightly depressed down the middle behind. Elytra convex, ovate, 
not wider than the prothorax at the base ; coarsely and deeply seriate-punctate, the punctures becoming 
foveiform towards the sides, the interstices smooth, more or less raised, 3 undulato-costate. Ventral 
segments 1, 2, and 5 with a few coarse scattered punctures, 2 nearly as long as 5, 1 and 2 subconnate, 
Legs moderately stout, long, the femora each with a very minute tooth, the anterior tibie sinuate 
within. 
Length 23, breadth 13 millim. ( 2.) 
Hab. GuateMaLa, Pantaleon, Pacific slope ( Champion). 
One rather worn specimen. In this insect the seriate punctures on the elytra become 
large and foveiform towards the sides, and the raised interstices are smooth and narrow, 
characters separating A. foveolatus from the other species of Acalles here described. 
13. Acalles crassisetis, sp. n. 
Oblong-ovate, rather narrow, shining, black, the elytra variegated with rufo-piceous ; mottled above with 
coarse ochreous and blackish scales and also thickly set with similarly-coloured, very coarse, short, erect, 
clubbed sete, the legs coarsely and closely setose. Head finely punctate ; rostrum rugulosely punctate and 
obsoletely tricarinate, and becoming a little smoother and bare at the tip, in the ¢ , Smoother from the
