STENOMIMUS.

punctured rostrum, the more finely, uniformly punctured prothorax, the parallel elytra, 



with more distinctly punctured interstices, and the narrower and shallower ventral 

 depression of the male. More convex than S. fryi, the rostrum stouter, &c. ; more 

 elongate than S. pallidas, the rostrum shorter and much stouter, the sculpture

coarser.

7. Stenomimus veraepacis, sp. n. 



Moderately elongate, narrow, somewhat depressed, shining, nigro-piceous, the tip of the rostrum, the shoulders 

 of the elytra, the antenna?, and tarsi ferruginous. Head almost smooth, transversely depressed and 

 feebly foveate between the eyes, the latter very small, transverse, and not very prominent ; rostrum 

 short, stout, curved, closely, finely punctate at the base, much smoother at the tip, the antennae inserted 

 at the middle. Prothorax about as long as broad, suboval, constricted in front, closely, rather coarsely 

 punctate, without trace of median groove. Elytra a little wider than the prothorax, moderately 

 long, subparallel in their basal half, produced at the apex, the apices conjointly rounded and somewhat 

 explanate laterally : coarsely punctate-sulcate, the sutural stria deeper than the others, the interstices 

 narrow, convex at the tip, and each with a scattered row of almost obsolete punctures. Anterior coxae 



_ 



separated by about their own width. Beneath rather closely and coarsely punctured; metasternum 

 towards the apex and first ventral segment broadly depressed down the middle. Anterior tibiae feebly

sinuate within. 

 Length 2, breadth f millim. ( c? •) 



Hab. Guatemala, Balheu in Alta Vera Paz (Champion). 



One male, probably found 



Very like the N. -American Allomimus 



dubius (Horn), the rostrum less curved, closely punctured at the base, the head mor 

 distinctly foveate between the eyes, the latter depressed, the sculpture of the prothora 

 and elytra not so coarse. From the Texan A. politus, Casey, it may be separated b 

 the more approximate anterior coxae, the less densely punctured prothorax, the laterall 

 explanate apices of the elytra, &c.

8. Stenomimus rhyncoloides, sp. n. (Tab. II. figg. 4,4 a, <s .) 



Moderately elongate, shining, nigro-piceous, the tarsi ferruginous at the tip. Head faintly punctate anteriorly, 

 transversely flattened between the eyes, the latter very small, transverse, not prominent ; rostrum feebly 

 curved, very stout, short, about twice as long as broad, closely punctate. Prothorax a little longer than 

 broad, gradually and obliquely narrowing from near the base to the subapical constriction ; densely, 

 uniformly punctate, without trace of median groove. Scutellum almost smooth, rather large. Elytra 

 moderately long, slightly wider than the prothorax, parallel in their basal half, produced at the apex, 

 the apical margins slightly explanate laterally ; punctato-sulcate, the interstices narrow, convex at the 

 tip, obsoletely uniseriate-punctate. Anterior coxae separated by distinctly less than their own width. 

 Beneath closely, somewhat coarsely punctate ; first ventral segment transversely excavate in the middle 

 posteriorly. Femora stout, the anterior pair dilated and arcuately excavate near the apex above (fig. 4 a). 

 Anterior tibise very feebly sinuate on their inner edge. 



Length 3, breadth 1 millim. ( S •) 







Hab. Guatemala, Quiche Mts., between 7000-9000 feet (Champion). 





, 



One male. A robust form, with the general facies of a Rhyncolid, but undoubtedly 



nearly allied to Allomimus dubius. The transverse excavation near the apex of the 

 anterior femora above may be due to some injury.
