RHYNCHOPHORA. 495 
One specimen, in very fresh condition. This insect agrees sufficiently well with 
C. ruficlava to be included in the same genus. The regularly oval outline, the dense, 
pure white, coarse vestiture, the almost bare scutellum, and the long rostrum are its 
principal characters. ‘The tarsal claws are connate at the base and the mandibles are 
slightly decussate at the tip, as in the typical species of Catapastus. The rows of 
scales on the elytra are increased to three at the base and reduced to one at the apex.

_ Calandrinus grandicollis (p. 339). 
To the locality Mexico, add :—Saltillo in Coahuila (Wiekham). 
ZAGLYPTUS (p. 339). 
Since the account of this genus was published, I have seen a minute form, from the 
Antillean Island of St. Vincent, closely related to Z. minutissimus (p. 341), also 
specimens of an allied new genus from the same locality *. 
* Zaglyptus quadriguttatus, sp. n. 
Rufo-testaceous, the eyes black; clothed above with scattered, short, erect, light and dark setw intermixed 
with afew decumbent, hair-like, ochreous scales, the elytra with a small dense patch of narrow yellowish- 
white scales on each shoulder and another on the fifth interstice towards the apex ; the legs with a few 
erect pallid sete. Rostrum stout, arcuate, a little longer than the head and prothorax. Prothorax 
short, conical, uneven, alutaceous, sparsely punctate, subcarinate at the base. Elytra much wider than 
the prothorax, triangular, somewhat flattened on the disc anteriorly, with rows of rather coarse punctures 
placed along fine shallow sete, the interstices feebly convex, faintly punctulate. ° 
Length 1-14, breadth 2-3 millim. 
Hab. Sv. Vincent, Mount Gay Estate, Leeward side (17. H. Smith). 
Three specimens. Very near the Guatemalan Z. minutissimus, but less convex, and with the sete shorter 
and fewer in number, the elytra each with a small densely squamose spot on the shoulder and another on the 
disc towards the apex. 
ZAGLYPTOIDES, gen. nov. 
Rostrum abruptly separated from the head, arcuate, moderately stout, about half the length of the body, 
the scrobes gradually descending, the antennw inserted at or near the middle, the funiculus 7-jointed, 
joints 2-7 transverse, closely articulated, and gradually widening, the club pubescent, stout, oblong-ovate, 
as Jong as the preceding 6 joints united ; eyes very narrow, strongly transverse ; prothorax short, convex, 
conical, feebly sinuate at the base, abruptly tubulate in front, the tubulate portion separated from the 
rest by a deep transverse groove ; scutellum very small, free, transverse; elytra much wider than the 
prothorax, triangular, inflated, without trace of stria on the disc, the apices conjointly rounded and 
extending for a short distance downward on a lower plane than the rest of the surface, completely 
protecting the apex of the abdomen in repose; prosternum narrowly and deeply sulcate from the apex to 
between the cox, the latter separated by less than their own width ; intermediate and posterior cox 
widely separated ; mesosternum subvertical, the transverse suture distinct; mesothoracic epimera 
narrowly ascending ; metathoracic episterna narrow; ventral segments 2-4 short, 1 and 2 connate; 
femora linear, unarmed; tibiz slender, without visible uncus at the tip; tarsi with a few fine hairs
