Gorham included three Central American species under 
Dorcatoma, two of which he subsequently [op. cit. p. 350 
(1886)] transferred to Priotoma, at the same time remarking 
that the third, D. tomentosa, would probably have also to 
be withdrawn from it. 
Dorcatoma tomentosa. 
Dorcatoma tomentosa, Gorh., loc. cit. p. 208, pl. 10, fig. 16. 
Priotoma tomentosa, Pic, Cat. Anobiidae, p. 72 (1912). 
A specimen of this insect has now been dissected, and it 
proves to have the usual, erect, ciliate process arising from 
each posterior angle of the intercoxal portion of the pro- 
sternum; but these processes are shorter than in the 
European species of Dorcatoma I have examined (D. 
flavicornis, F., and D. chrysomelina, Sturm), being simply 
dentiform in D. tomentosa. This species, which has 11- 
jointed antennae (as stated by its describer) and a very 
broad securiform apical joint to the maxillary palpus, can, 
therefore, quite well remain in Dorcatoma, the additional 
minute jomt to the antennae being a character of no 
importance.
