KHYNCHOPHOKA : CrECULIONIN^. 187 



Anthonomus fuscomaculatus (p. 186). 



To the locality given, add : — Nicaragua, Managua (Solari). 



This species, described from a single example from Tole, has also been taken by 

 Signor Solari in Nicaragua. The type was somewhat immature. 



Anthonomus texanus (p. 187). 



Anthonomus pilosus, Duges, in litt. 



Mr. Pierce records having bred an example of this species from the buds of 

 Sphceraleea angustifolia (Order Malvaceae). He states [Proc. U.S. Nat. Mus. xxxiv. 



pp. 174, 175 (1908)] that the specime 

 have a longer first joint to the funiculu 



from Guanajuato, Mexico, are blacker 

 tian in his Texan insect. Apparently hi 



that A. texanus had been previously recorded from Guanajuato in this work 



59 (a). Anthonomus filirostris, sp. n. 



Closely related to A. tenuirostris (antea, p. 187), but differing as follows : — Body rufo-piceous above, the 

 prothorax, scutellar region, under surface, and rostrum darker ; tbe vestiture not so coarse, the white 

 scales condensed into a dense oblong spot behind the scutellum, which is also albo-squamose ; the rostrum 

 more slender — in the <$ nearly straight, about half the length of the body, feebly striate-punctate, in 

 the $ straight, nearly as long as the elytra (as seen in profile), and smooth, the antennae in the S 

 inserted far beyond, and in the $ at, the middle ; the legs not so stout, maculate. 



Length 2£-2|, breadth 1^-11 millim. ( 8 2 •) 



Hab. Mexico (ex coll. Solari). 



One pair, labelled " Mexico, Ptt.," differing as above stated from the Guatemalan 

 A. tenuirostris, the only Central- American species with which the present insect can be 

 compared. The post-scutellar oblong white spot is also visible in some of the examples 

 of A. tenuirostris (though it was not noted in the description or shown in the figure) ; 

 but the more slender rostrum and finer vestiture are sufficiently characteristic of A. fili- 

 rostris *. A. alboscutellatus (antea, p. 172) has a similar scutellar patch, but it does 

 not otherwise resemble A. tenuirostris f or A. filirostris. 



63 (a). Anthonomus triangularis, sp 



i/"< 





the <$ ■ the elytra distinctly longer, less depressed below the base, and with an elongate-triangular 

 scutellar patch, and sometimes a small spot on the disc beyond the middle, black ; the posterior tibiae of 

 the 6 not dilated on the inner side near the base, and formed as in the $ . 

 Length 2|-3, breadth li-lf millim. 



Hah. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion).
