One specimen 



Near L. germari, but very much smaller and less robust, th 



anterior femora sim 



clavate (not 



angulate 



as in L. germari 



the 



eyes more 



prominent, the prothorax densely punctate, the elytra more even, with small seriate 

 punctures and flat, closely punctulate interstices. 





ILEOMUS (p. 113). 



2. Ileomus extensus, sp. n. (Tab. VI II. figg. 25, 25 a, 8 .) 



3 . Subfusiform, moderately elongate, rather broad, black, the antennae obscure ferruginous ; sparsely cinereo- 

 pubescent, the pubes.cence clustered into dense patches on the elytra. Head minutely punctate, with a 

 few coarser punctures intermixed, foveate between the eyes ; rostrum about as long as the prothorax, 

 feebly curved, moderately stout, very sparsely and finely, the sides more coarsely, punctate. Prothorax 

 transverse, rapidly, arcuately narrowing from near the base ; very uneven, the disc with a large, deep, 

 horseshoe-shaped excavation extending to the base, and also closely, finely punctate, with scattered larger 

 punctures intermixed, the lateral portions coarsely varioloso-punctate. Elytra moderately long, wider 

 than the prothorax, strongly caudate at the apex, the scutellar region transversely excavate, the subapical 

 callosities almost obsolete ; seriato-punctate, the interstices flat, alutaceous, the spaces covered by the 

 pubescence densely, rugulosely punctate. First ventral segment deeply sulcate. Anterior femora only 

 dentate. "Wings fully developed. 

 Length 15, breadth (at shoulders) 5g millim. 



Hab. Mexico, " Sierra de Durango " (Hoge, ex Solari). 



One specimen, kindly presented by Signor A. Solari. Smaller, narrower, and less 

 robust than /. distinguendus, Boh., the rostrum less curved, the prothoracic excavation 

 deeper, the elytra less uneven, caudate at the apex, and with the subapical callosities 

 almost obsolete, the anterior femora only dentate. /. extensus forms a connecting-link 

 between Ileomus and Lixus.

CERATOPINA. 



CERATOPUS (p. 123). 



5 (a). Ceratopus maculicollis, sp. n. (Tab. IX. figg. 4, 4«, s .) 



c? . Obovate, somewhat depressed, moderately shining, nigro-piceous, the tip of the rostrum, the antennae 

 (the club excepted), and the apices of the tarsi ferruginous ; thickly clothed with very small dark brown 

 scales, the head, prothorax, scutellum, and legs, and the alternate interstices of the elytra at the base, 

 irregularly streaked or variegated with flavo- cinereous scales. Head and rostrum densely, finely 

 punctate, the latter moderately stout, feebly curved, a little longer than the head and prothorax united, 

 the eyes very large ; antennae inserted near the tip of the rostrum, the club oblong-ovate. Prothorax 

 rather narrow, transverse, the sides arcuately converging anteriorly ; densely, finely punctate, with 

 indications of a narrow, raised, median line. Elytra much wider than the prothorax, comparatively 

 short, separately rounded at the apex, flattened on the disc at the base ; finely punctate-striate, the 

 interstices feebly convex and densely punctulate. Tibise without visible claw at the apex. 



Length 3|, breadth 1 T 9 ^ millim.
