618 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
at the base and there very little wider than the prothorax, widening to about the middle, with the apices 
broadly produced, the humeri obtuse ; sinuato-seriate-punctate, the interstices finely seriato-granulate, 
somewhat raised (the sutural one excepted), 3 swollen and nodose near the base. Beneath closely, 
somewhat coarsely punctate. Legs rather slender ; femora obsoletely unidentate. 
Length 43-53, breadth 2;4,-33 millim. (¢ @.) 
Hab. GUATEMALA, Cerro Zunil 4000 feet (Champion). 
Ten specimens. The anteriorly binodose elytra, and the large ochreous patch on 
the apical declivity, readily distinguish P. dinodosa. It has the general facies of 
an Acalles. 
9. Phace cinctuta, sp. n. (Tab. XXX. fig. 19, 2.) 
Subovate, piceous or rufo-piceous, the antenne, the tarsi, and the apices of the tibie ferruginous; thickly 
clothed with intermixed pale brown and whitish scales, the elytra with a narrow, irregular, interrupted, 
black median fascia, the whitish scales condensed into a faint transverse fascia beyond this, as well as 
into a transverse scutellar patch at the base; the surface also with scattered, semierect scales. Head 
densely punctate, the eyes widely separated ; rostrum rugulosely punctate in the ¢, smoother in the 9, 
the antenne inserted at (2) or beyond (¢) the middle, joints 1 and 2 of the funiculus equal in length. 
Prothorax broader than long, narrowed and strongly constricted in front, rounded at the sides, shallowly 
bisinuate at the base, the posterior portion slightly depressed down the middle; densely, finely punctate, 
feebly binodose and shortly setose at the apex. Scutellum invisible. Elytra a little wider than the 
prothorax, somewhat rounded at the sides, moderately convex, the humeri obtuse ; seriate-punctate, 
the interstices obsoletely seriato-granulate, the alternate ones slightly raised. Beneath closely, rather 
coarsely punctate. Legs rather slender; femora obsoletely unidentate. 
Length 43-53, breadth 2-22 millim. (¢ 9.) 
Hab. Mexico, Juquila in Oaxaca (Sallé). 
Three specimens. Distinguishable amongst its allies by the interrupted black 
median fascia of the elytra. 
§ 2. Femora unarmed. 
10. Phace leucogramma, sp. n. (Tab. XXX. fig. 20, 2.) 
Oblong-ovate, black, the antenne and the tips of the tarsi ferruginous; variegated above with a dense clothing 
of pale brown, fuscous, and black scales, intermixed with very short, stout, clubbed, semierect sete: (the 
black sete on the prothorax mainly condensed into two fascicles at the apex and a sinuous line on each 
side of the disc, and those on the elytra into a short streak near the suture at the base), the elytra with 
a common, sharply-defined, angulate, post-median white fascia; the vestiture of the under surface and 
legs brownish-white, the legs coarsely and shortly setose, the femora subannulate with darker brown. 
Head and rostrum closely punctate, the latter with a smooth space down the centre of the apical half ; 
antenne inserted at about the middle of the rostrum, joint 1 of the funiculus longer than 2, the club 
ovate. Prothorax transverse, rounded and somewhat dilated at the sides, narrowed and constricted in 
front, subtruncate at the base ; densely, finely punctate, except along a narrow smooth median space, the 
disc broadly depressed down the middle. Scutellum not visible. Hlytra gradually narrowing forwards, 
at the base not wider than prothorax, produced at the apex; seriate-punctate, the interstices 3, 5, 7, and 
also 2, 4, 6 from a little below the base, raised. Beneath coarsely, closely punctate. Legs moderately 
stout; femora unarmed. . 
Length 6, breadth 24 millim. ( 9.)
