NORTH AMERICAN COEEOPTERA. 
247 
armed with a long tooth, approximate to its fellow ; surface densely 
clothed with long, coarse pubescence, intermixed with stiff, erect 
bristles. 
Aside from the v^estiture, so unusual in the present tribe of rhyn- 
chophorous coleoptera, the jn-esent subgenus differs from Anthonomus 
jiroper by its rather small eyes and the feeble, tiliial armature. It 
is represented by a single species. 
A. lieterogeiins u. sj). — Robust, ovate, ferruginous to ])iceous, antenuse and 
legs rufous; pubescence ashy gray, concealing the sculpture; the erect bristles 
are arranged in a single row on each elytral interspace and also along the outer 
margin of the tibiae, giving them a fimbriate appearance. Beak ferruginous, 
somewhat shining, punctured and indistinctly striate each side; first and second 
joints of funicle elongate, robust, latter longer than the third joint; outer joints 
wider; club dusky, long, elliptic, pubescent, and rather loosely articulate. Pro- 
thorax densely and finely punctured, underside punctured ; abdomen less densely 
pubescent than the rest of the surface. Long. 2.2 — 2.7 mm. ; .09 - .11 inch. 
Hab. — Arizona, Utah, Washington, Texas. Dr. Horn’s and my 
own collection. Five specimens in all are before me. 
Easily recognized by its coarse, hirsute apjiearance.

1 have established this genus on Anth. mixhis Lee., a pubescent 
species, with 6-jointed funicle and the claws armed with a short tooth. 
It differs from all others by the flattened abdomen, having the first 
and second segments conspicuously elongate and closely connate, the 
former being longer than the metasternum ; segments 3-5 relatively 
short and about equal in length, the pygidium scarcely exposed at 
the tip in the male and entirely concealed in the female ; all the 
tibiae are unguiculate at the apex. 
It is represented by a single species. 
A. iiiixtiis Lee. Plate vii, fig. 26. — Subovate, reddish, or pitchy-brown, and 
mther densely clothed with coar.se. variegated pubescence. Beak long, not slen- 
der ; punctured and striate from base to near the apex. Anteunte stout, fuscous, 
first joint of funicle rather long and stout, second a little longer than the third, 
outer joints wider. Eyes convex. Head punctured and pubescent, frontal fovea 
deep. Prothorax wider than long, narrowed from the base, sides feebly rounded 
and constricted behind the apical margin ; surface densely and coarsely i)uuc- 
tured. Elytra feebly rounded on the sides and widened to behind the middle, 
rather rapidly narrowed to and conjointly rounded at the tip ; about one-third, 
and rather suddenly, wider at the base than the prothorax ; striae and punctures 
coarser towards the hase, latter closely approximate ; interspaces wide, nearly 
fiat, and almost smooth, with a few irregular punctures; humeral and a large 
discal si>ot behind the middle, rufous; a transverse fascia posteriorly on the dis-
