PANTOTELES. 181 
Sect. PANTOTELIDES. 
Pantotélides, Lacordaire. 
Two American genera have been referred to the Pantotelides : Pantoteles, Schénh., 
and Cyrionyx, Faust; this latter has descending scrobes, and is therefore best placed 
elsewhere. 
PANTOTELES. 
Pantoteles, Schénherr, Gen. Cure. viii. 2, p. 59 (1845) ; Lacordaire, Gen. Col. vii. p- 2138. 
The few described species of this genus are all from Tropical America. Seven are 
now recorded from within our limits, one of them (P. albocinctus) perhaps not really 
belonging to it. Its chief characters are the laterally placed, non-descending scrobes, 
the slender rostrum, the sulcate prosternum, the non-contiguous anterior coxe, the 
toothed femora, and the narrowly separated tarsal claws. The males of some of the 
species have the anterior tarsi clothed with long projecting hairs, as in various 
Cryptorrhynchids. 
Rostrum slender, straight or feebly curved, depressed at the base; pro- 
sternum sulcate, the anterior coxe well separated. 
Tarsal joints 1 and 2 narrow, the claws well-developed. 
Prothorax infuscate on the disc, whitish or ochraceous at the sides and 
apex; elytra mottled with white . . . . . 1... . . . hirtimanus, sp. 0. 
Prothorax with two broad vittz, and the elytra with a broad sub- 
apical fascia, extending down the suture to the tip, ochreous . . flavofasciatus, sp. n. 
Prothorax with a median vitta, and the elytra with a narrow transverse 
post-median fascia, black, the rest of the vestiture of the upper 
surface flavo-cinereous . . . 1 1 we ww ww we. lomgimanus, sp. n. 
Prothorax and elytra mottled with flavo-cinereous or ochreous, the 
prothorax usually with a pale median vitta. 
Elytra oblong « . - «ee 2 ew ee ew ew et tenuirostris, Boh. 
Elytra shorter, subtriangular . . . . . . marmoratus, sp. n. 
Tarsal joints 1 and 2 broader, the claws small; prothorax with sides and 
a narrow median line, and the elytra with the apical half, flavo- 
cinereous. 2. 6 2 6 ee ee ee ek le dimidiatus, sp. n. 
Rostrum stouter, arcuate, not depressed at the base; prosternum very 
shallowly sulcate, the anterior cox separated by a narrow lamina 
only ; prothorax with sides, and the elytra with a broad ante-median 
fascia and a common, heart-shaped, subapical patch, whitish. . . . albocinctus, sp. n. 
1. Pantoteles hirtimanus, sp. n. (Tab. X. figg. 30, 30a, ¢.) 
Elongate, somewhat shining, nigro-piceous, the antenne (the club excepted), rostrum, tibix, femora in part, 
and anterior margin of prothorax, more or less ferruginous; the vestiture fine and close above, denser, 
coarser, and wholly white beneath: the prothorax white (or ochraceous) at the sides and apex, brown
