on the rest of the disc; the elytra brown, with scattered white spots, which are condensed into an 
irregular transverse fascia towards the apex, the fascia being connected at the sides with an elongate 
white lateral patch; the head white or pale ochraceous. Head densely punctate, foveate between the 
eyes; rostrum almost straight, much longer than the head and prothorax, slender, depressed at the base, 
finely punctate-strigate in the ¢, almost smooth in the 9, the antenne inserted at the middle in the ¢, 
and nearer the base in the 9, joints 1 and 2 of the funiculus elongate, 1 longer than 2. Prothorax sub- 
conical, nearly as long as broad, constricted in front ; densely, minutely punctate, and finely carinate. 
Elytra long, much wider than the prothorax, very gradually narrowing from the base ; finely punctate- 
striate, the interstices flat and densely punctulate. Ventral segment 1 broadly, and 5 shallowly, 
depressed down the middle in the ¢. Legs rather elongate (the anterior pair especially); anterior tibise 
ciliate within and slightly curved at the apex, and the anterior tarsi set on each side with numerous long 
projecting hairs, in the ¢. 
Length 7, breadth 24 millim. (d¢ 2.) 
Hab. Costa Rica, Azahar de Cartago (Underwood). 
One pair, varying in the colour and arrangement of the markings of the upper 
surface, the male having the white portions of the head and prothorax ochraceous and 
fewer white spots on the elytra. This insect is very like Peridinetus irroratus and its 
allies, but the rostrum and male tarsal characters are those of a true Pantoteles, 
2. Pantoteles flavofasciatus, sp. n. (Tab. X. fig. 31, 2.) 
Oblong, flattened above, opaque, nigro-piceous, the apical half of the rostrum ferruginous ; the vestiture fine : 
the head, the prothorax with a broad vitta on each side, and the elytra each with an oblique subapical 
fascia, extending broadly down the suture to the tip (almost enclosing a large, rounded, lateral spot), and 
various small scattered patches along the striee, ochraceous, the entire under surface whitish, the rest of 
the upper surface fuscous. Head densely punctate, sulcate between the eyes; rostrum. slender, a little 
longer than the head and prothorax, feebly curved, depressed at the base, almost smooth. Prothorax 
broader than long, conical, slightly constricted in front, the sides rounded at the base ; densely, very finely 
punctate. Elytra much broader than the prothorax, elongate-subtriangular, the humeri rather prominent ; 
finely punctate-striate, the interstices flat, densely punctulate, 4-9 feebly costate towards the apex. Legs 
long and slender. 
Length 54, breadth 22 millim. (@.) 
Hab. Costa Rica, Azahar de Cartago (Underwood). 
One specimen. Smaller than P. hirtimanus, the rostrum shorter, the prothorax more 
transverse and broadly flavo-bivittate, the elytra each with a broad, oblique, subapical, 
ochraceous fascia extending down the suture to the tip and various small clusters of 
similarly-coloured scales along the strie. 
3. Pantoteles longimanus, sp.n. (Tab. X. fig. 32, ¢.) 
Elongate-elliptic, somewhat flattened above, opaque, black, the antenne and legs piceous, the apex of the 
rostrum rufescent; the vestiture close, above and beneath, yellowish-cinereous, the prothorax with a 
broad, anteriorly evanescent, median vitta, and the elytra with a narrow transverse fascia beyond the 
middle and a spot on the subapical callosity, black. Head densely, finely punctate, sulcate between the 
eyes ; rostrum almost straight, about as long as the head and prothorax, slender, depressed at the base, 
finely, rugulosely punctate and subcarinate to about the middle, the apical portion smoother. Prothorax 
broader than long, constricted in front, the sides rounded and rapidly converging from near the base, the
