Oct. is, i 9 2o A New Avocado Weevil from the Canal Zone 115 



The sexes are extremely difficult to distinguish, unless the tip of the aedeagus or 

 the "palps" of the ovipositor can be seen. Nine males and seven females are before 

 me, all having been reared from avocado seeds at Frijoles, C. Z., by Mr. H. F. Dietz, 

 during May, June, and July, 1919, except a male taken at Ancon, June 20, 1918 (J. 

 Zetek No. Z1084), and a large undated female (the allotype) from Las Cascadas, 

 C. Z., received from F. H. Jackson about 19 12. 



Type, allotype, and 14 paratypes, United States National Museum No. 22586. 

 One paratype retained by Federal Horticultural Board and one paratype sent to Mr. 

 Geo. C. Champion.
