9. Stenomimus quichensis, sp. n. 



■ 









Moderately elongate, shining, nigro-piceous, the tip of the rostrum, the shoulders of the elytra, the femora, 

 and tibiae reddish, the antennae and tarsi rufo-testaceous. Head almost smooth, transversely depressed 

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

 short, finely punctate. Prothorax as long as broad, suboval, gradually narrowed and slightly constricted 

 in front ; closely punctate, without trace of median groove. Scutellum smooth. Elytra a little wider

than, and about twice as long as, the prothorax, parallel in their basal half; punctato-sulcate, the 

 interstices narrow, convex at the apex, and obsoletely uniseriate-punctate. Anterior coxae separated by 

 about their own width. Beneath rather finely and closely punctate ; first ventral segment shallowly 

 depressed in the middle posteriorly. Anterior tibiae feebly sinuate on their inner edge. 

 Length 2|, breadth J millim. ( tf ?) 



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



One specimen. This insect is so like S. rhyncoloides that at first sight it would 

 appear to be the sexual complement of the same species. It is, however, narrower 

 and less robust, the head is more deeply impressed between the eyes, the rostrum is 

 not so stout, the antennae are entirely rufo-testaceous, the prothorax is more finely and 

 less densely punctate, the anterior coxae are more widely separated, the puncturing of 

 the under surface is finer, and the ventral excavation is shallower.

10. Stenomimus rufipes, sp. n. 



Moderately elongate, somewhat convex, shining, nigro-piceous, the antennae, legs, and tip of the rostrum 



ferruginous. Head almost smooth, transversely depressed between the eyes, the latter very small, 



transverse, and not prominent ; rostrum very short and stout, less than twice as long as broad, sparsely, 



finely punctate. Prothorax as long as broad, somewhat conical, very feebly constricted in front, the 

 sides rounded posteriorly ; closely, finely, uniformly punctate, without trace of median groove. Elytra

a little wider than, and about twice as long as, the prothorax, parallel in their basal third, conjointly, 

 rounded at the apex : punctato-sulcate, the interstices narrow, convex on the apical declivity. Anterior 

 coxse separated by their own width. Beneath somewhat closely punctate ; ventral segments 1 and 2

Hab. Mexico, Chilpancingo in Guerrero 4600 feet (H. II. Smith). 



One specimen. A rather robust form approaching the N.- American Allomimus 

 dubius, but larger and more elongate, with a shorter, less curved, much stouter rostrum, 

 the prothorax somewhat conical and closely, finely punctate, the elytra more rounded 



■ 



at the apex and with the sulci not so coarsely punctate, the body nigro-piceous, the 

 limbs ferruginous.
