APPENDIX. 



(fig. 26 6) with joints 2-7 of the funiculus decreasing in length, 2 twice as long as 1, all closely set 



with fine, projecting, bristly hairs, the club a little stouter than, and about as long as, the three outer 

 joints of the funiculus united, 1 and 2 equal in length. Prothorax transverse, rounded at the sides 

 anteriorly, constricted and shortly tubulate in front, densely foveolato-punctate. Elytra about one-third 

 wider than the prothorax, with prominent tumid humeri ; coarsely seriato-foveate, the interstices 

 narrow, rugose, and each with a row of scattered granules. Beneath alutaceous, very sparsely punctate. 

 Legs densely squamose, the anterior pair longer than the others. 

 Length 8, breadth 34 millim. ( $ ?) 





Hob. Mexico (Mus. Brit.). 







One specimen, with the head and prothorax somewhat abraded. This insect bears 



a certain resemblance to Metriophilus definitus (Ros.)

Phace quadriguttata, sp. n. (Tab. IX. figg. 27, 27 



Obovate, short, shining, black, the antennae (the club excepted), the tip of the rostrum, and the legs in part, 

 ferruginous ; densely clothed with small, rounded, imbricate brown scales, with a few scattered whitish 

 scales intermixed, those on the basal half of the elytra blackish-brown, the second interstice of the 

 latter with a rather long, and the fourth with a shorter, black streak (each preceded by two or three 

 whitish scales) just before the middle ; the femora subannulate with white. Head densely punctate ; 

 eyes very large, separated by a little less than the width of the rostrum ; rostrum arcuate, moderately 

 stout, as long as the head and prothorax, densely punctate, finely carinate down the middle, the apical 

 portion bare. Prothorax strongly transverse, abruptly narrowed just before the apex, the sides feebly 



rounded, subparallel at the base; densely punctate. 



Scutellum 



very small, rounded. 



Elytra 



comparatively short, subtruncate at the base, much broader than the prothorax, transversely convex, 

 widening to about the basal third, and obliquely narrowed thence to the apex ; with rows of coarse 

 punctures placed along the narrow striae, the interstices densely punctate and subgranulate, 2 and 4 

 apparently somewhat swollen towards the middle. Legs short ; femora feebly unidentate. 

 Length 3|, breadth 2 millim. ( tf ?) 



Hob. Mexico, " Sierra de Durango " (H'dge, ex Solari). 



One specimen, in fresh condition. Less 



gate than P. duplex-, the 



much larger ; the prothorax narrower, feebly rounded at the sides 



subcordate, less gibbous,

4 (not 3 and 5) slightly swollen 



at the 

 middle of the disc, and at this place streaked with black; the legs shorter; the 



femora feebly dentate; the coarse scattered setiform scales wanting 

 sculpture is almost hidden by the dense vestiture.

* Examples of this insect occur with coarser and sparser elytral vestiture, and the seriate punctures 

 (which each bear an oblong scale) conspicuous.
