a^. Second funicular joint much longer than the first and considerably longer than 

 the two following. 

 V' . Vestiture green; second abdominal segment longer than or as long as the 



two following segments metallicus, new species. 



6^. Vestiture grayish; second abdominal segment longer than the two following 



segments tcxanus, new species. 



•tt^. Second funicular joint subequal to the first, or but slightly longer, and sub- 

 equal to the two following. 



c'. Elongate, elytra at least twice as long as wide candidus Horn. 



c^. Small and stout, elytra not twice as long as wide, 

 c?'. Strial punctures plain; scaly vestiture not overlapping, erect setse squa- 



miform, tiTincate pallidus Pierce. 



rf-. Strial punctures almost covered by vestiture; scaly vestiture closely over- 

 lapping; erect setse, long, hair like, black and white obscurus Horn. 



PANTOMORUS (PANTOMORUS) TESSELATUS Say. 

 Aramigus tesselatus Horn. 

 The nasal plate in this species is very short antl broad. The pos- 

 terior rim is distinct and broadly angiilate, reaching the lateral 

 margin of the beak. This gives the appearance of a deep emargina- 

 tion. The nasal plate is so short and depressed that it is likely to be 

 overlooked; the margin is biconvex, emarginate at center. Mandibles 

 squamose. 



PANTOMORUS (PANTOMORUS) FULLERI Horn. 



Aramigus fulleri Horn. 

 Pantomorus olindse Perkins. 

 Pantomorus fulleri Champion. 



The nasal plate in this species is entirely different, being ogival, 

 much deeper than in tesselatus and occupying at base about one- 

 third the width of the beak; it is concave, and angulately emarginate. 

 Mandibles squamose. 



PANTOMORUS (PHACEPHOLIS) ELEGANS Horn. 

 Phacepholis elegans Horn. 

 The nasal plate is crescentiform. The mandibles are squamose. 

 Champion calls attention to a row of tubercles on the second ventral 

 segment of the abdomen in the male and states that this species has 

 5. In the series before the writer are 20 without tubercles and 3 

 with them (from San Diego, Texas). Only two tubercles are strong 

 and there is a varying number of minute granulations.
