450 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
white scales, those on the elytra condensed into fascicles and interrupted lines, which are widened on the 
interstices 2, 4, and 6, and conspicuous at the base and across the middle. Head closely punctate, 
depressed between the eyes; rostrum abruptly bowed from the base, stout, about as long as the head and 
prothorax, slightly dilated at the apex, strigoso-punctate, a little longer and smoother in the Q, the 
antennex inserted just behind the middle in both sexes, the antennal club ovate. Prothorax transverse, 
narrowing from the base, strongly constricted in front; somewhat coarsely punctured at the apex, 
along the basal margin, and at the sides, almost smooth on the dise. Elytra oblong, very gradually 
narrowing from the base, more or less undulate on the disc; finely punctate-striate, the striz deeply 
impressed at the apex, the interstices broad, flat, and almost smooth (except on the squamose spaces), 
7-9 subcostate at the tip. Pygidium large in the ¢, smaller and more transverse in the ©, densely 
punctate. Beneath very coarsely, the abdomen sparsely and finely, punctate. Prosternum somewhat 
deeply sulcate, the basal process broad, closely punctured, flat, margined laterally, and subtruncate 
behind. Anterior coxse separated by about their own width. Femora unarmed. 
Length 43-53, breadth 2;4,-24 millim. (¢ 9.) 
Hab. Mexico (Sallé), Paso del Macho (Hége). 
One male and two females, doubtless all from the State of Vera Cruz. Less robust 
and more depressed than P. sinuosa, the rostrum not so stout, the prothorax with a 
row of rather coarse punctures along the basal margin, the sparse white vestiture of 
the elytra arranged in longitudinal streaks, the laterally margined basal process of 
the prosternum flattened and closely punctate. 
7. Pseudobaris suturalis, sp. n. 
Oblong, robust, shining, black, the antennz obscure ferruginous ; the elytra with the suture to near the tip, 
a small oblong patch at the base of the interstices 2 and 6, and an irregular transverse submedian fascia, 
clothed with rather coarse, setiform, white scales, the sides of the prothorax, the under surface, and legs 
also clothed with small narrow white scales. Head closely punctate, transversely grooved between the 
eyes; rostrum moderately stout, arcuate, not longer than the prothorax, closely punctate. Prothorax 
transverse, gradually, arcuately narrowing from near the base, strongly constricted in front; closely 
punctate, except along the median line. Elytra rather elongate, very gradually narrowing from the base, 
depressed along the suture, the disc also transversely hollowed beyond the middle; deeply sulcate, the 
sulci feebly punctate, the interstices flat, finely and irregularly uniseriate-punctate. Beneath closely 
punctate. Prosternum deeply sulcate, the basal process raised on each side and emarginate behind. 
Legs stout ; femora unarmed. 
Length 5, breadth 23 millim. (9 ?) 
Hab, Mexico, Cuernavaca in Morelos (Wickham). 
One specimen, captured during Mr. Wickham’s recent trip to Western Mexico. A 
rather large, oblong, robust form nearly related to P. sublineata, with the elytra con- 
spicuously bordered with white scales along the suture and the striz broader and 
deeper, the ventral surface closely punctate, &c. 
8. Pseudobaris sublineata, sp. n. 
¢d. Oblong-ovate, very shining, black, the antenne and tarsi fusco-ferruginous ; the elytra with scattered 
uniseriately arranged setiform white scales at the base, middle, and apex, the interstices 1 and 2 each 
with a few additional scales in front ; the punctures on the sides of the prothorax, under surface, and legs 
each bearing a small white scale. Head closely punctate, transversely grooved between the eyes ; 
rostrum stout, arcuate, about as long as the prothorax, finely punctate. Prothorax transverse, narrowing
