66 (a). Anthonomus managuensis, sp. n. 



Oblong-ovate, feebly shining, ferruginous, the eyes black, the legs testaceous ; rather sparsely, uniformly 

 clothed with small, narrow, hair-like, brownish-white scales, the vestiture denser and whiter beneath. 

 Rostrum moderately slender, feebly curved, much longer than the head and prothorax, opaque, almost 

 bare, closely punctulate, finely carinate along the median line, the antennae inserted just beyond the 

 middle. Prothorax strongly transverse, rounded at the sides anteriorly, feebly constricted in front; 

 densely, finely punctate. Elytra much wider than the prothorax, parallel at the base ; rather coarsely 

 punctate-striate, the interstices almost flat and closely punctulate. Anterior and intermediate femora 

 with a rather long, narrow, acute tooth, the posterior pair with a smaller tooth ; anterior and inter- 

 mediate tibiae strongly sinuate within ; tarsal claws with a long tooth.

Hab. Nicaragua, Santa Ana, Lago Managua (Solari). 



Three specimens, one of which has been presented to us by Signor Solari. 

 species is perhaps nearest related to A. fulvipes, differing from it in the ferruginous 

 body, the sparse whitish vestiture, the subglabrous, smoother, and more slender rostrum, 

 and the more acutely toothed femora.

66 (b). Anthonomus uniseriatus, sp. n. 



Subovate, narrow, shining, ferruginous or testaceous, the eyes, antennal club, and sometimes the apical half of 

 the rostrum, infuscate or black ; sparsely clothed with rather long, yellowish, decumbent hairs, those on 

 the elytra uniseriately arranged along each interstice. Rostrum feebly curved, considerably longer than 

 the head and prothorax, moderately slender, distinctly widened outwards, closely punctate and finely 

 carinate, the antennae inserted just beyond the middle. Prothorax transverse, feebly constricted in front, 

 densely punctate. Elytra wider than the prothorax, coarsely punctate-striate, the interstices convex and 

 feebly uniseriate-punctate. Anterior and intermediate femora each with a small tooth : anterior tibice 

 sinuate within ; tarsal claws with a long tooth.

Anthonomus solarii 



(Tab. IX. figg. 9, 9 







Elliptic, ferruginous, the eyes, antennal club, and under surface (the ventral segments 2-5 excepted) blackish 

 or infuscate, the legs testaceous ; densely clothed with small, oblong, pale brownish-ochreous and whitish 

 scales, the former condensed into two broad indeterminate vittse on the disc of the prothorax and some 

 faint markings on the elytra (a large subtriangular patch being sometimes visible beyond the middle), the 

 scales on the under surface white, those on the ventral segments narrower and hair-like. Eostrum 

 rather stout, feebly curved, slightly longer than the head and prothorax, densely punctate and subcarinate, 

 the antennas inserted at a little beyond the middle. Prothorax strongly transverse, rapidly, arcuately 

 narrowing from near the base ; densely, finely punctate. Elytra a little wider than the prothorax, finely
