ANTHONOMUS (pp. 155, 722) 







20 (a). Anthonomus ciliaticollis, sp. n. (Tab. IX. figg. 7, 7 a, $ .) 



Subovate narrow convex, very shining, deep black, the base of the antennae, and sometimes that of the femora 

 also ferruginous ; the basal margin of the prothorax, the scutellum, prosternum, and anterior coxse, and 

 the sides of the body beneath, clothed with pure white hair-like scales. Head almost smooth, foveate 

 above the eyes ; rostrum rather slender, feebly curved, and about two-thirds the length of the body in the 

 $ , shorter and more arcuate in the 6 , finely punctate laterally, smooth along the median line and 

 carinate towards the base, the antennae inserted at ( $ ) or beyond ( S ) the middle. Prothorax transverse, 

 obliquely narrowing from near the base, feebly constricted in front ; somewhat closely, finely, uniformly 

 punctate. Elytra much wider than the prothorax, comparatively short, transversely convex, parallel in 

 their basal half; rather coarsely punctate-striate, the interstices moderately convex, smooth, and bare. 

 Femora each with a small acute tooth. 



Length 2-24-, breadth 1-lyL millim. ( <$ $ .) 



Hob. Panama, David, Bugaba (Champion). 



One female from David and a pair from Bugaba, the last-mentioned having been 

 included by me under A. meocicanus (antea, p. 169). The completely glabrous elytra, 

 the finely punctured prothorax, with a fringe of pure white scales along the basal 

 margin, the more elongate rostrum in the female, and the dark legs, distinguish 

 A. ciliaticollis from all the varieties of A. mexieanus.

We are indebted to Signor A. Solari for a beautifully fresh specimen of this insect, 

 from Managua, described from a single example from David. A figure of the species 



is now erven.
