thin, curved, almost parallel-sided; apical half with fine exposed 

 punctures, basal half with coarse concealed ones and with a fine 

 median carina. Antennae thin; first joint of funicle slightly longer 

 than second, none transverse. Prothorax rather strongly convex, 

 moderately transverse, base not much wider than apex; with 

 dense, partially concealed punctures. Elytra with rows of large 

 more or less concealed punctures; base trisinuate, shoulders 

 rounded, sides subparallel to beyond the middle. Intercoxal process 

 of mesosternum moderately produced. Tibke not very strongly 

 denticulate. Length 4-4 1/2 mill.

The mesosternum is produced as in several other species of 

 Pantoreitcs, and in general appearance, except for the long rostrum 

 (it is almost as long as the prothorax, and fully thrice the length of 

 its own greatest width) it is quite a typical species of that genus. So 

 that, as the rostrum is certainly vai'iable in length in Pantoreites. 

 I have not ventured to propose a new genus for it, although this 

 may eventually be considered necessary. 



- The setae on each side of the middle of the prothorax are longer, 

 stouter and more like scales than those on the elytra, and in fact 

 they might quite fairly be regarded as rather thin scales. The white 

 lateral stripes on the elytra are not of even width troughout. On one 

 specimen there is a faint opalescent gloss on the scales at the sides 

 of the sterna and abdomen.
