PANSCOPUS (DOLICHONOTUS) CONVERGENS, n. sp. 



Length, J* 7.8, $ 8.1 mm; width, J* 2.8, $ 3.3 mm. Derm black to 

 rufopiceous, prevailing color of scales fuscous, J* with elytral flanks 

 paler, the elytra of $ dull yellowish brown with small, irregular 

 blackish areas. Pronotum feebly sulcate along middle, the sulcus 

 present only toward apex in $, interrupted at middle in J*, the general 

 surface densely scaly and with small, shining black, setigerous tu- 

 bercles showing through the vestiture ; elytral costae with a crowded, 

 double (in places triple) row of stifif, rather coarse, slightly curved 

 setae, posteriorly inclined on disk, more nearly erect on declivity ; fifth 

 sternite of J* two-thirds as long as broad ; hind tibia of J* nearly 

 straight, its mucro subacute at tip. 



Rostrum one-sixth shorter than prothorax, upper surface continuous 

 with front in profile, broadly convex basally, subplanate apically, 

 above, except at apex, densely clothed with small brown scales and 

 short, curved setae, surface densely punctate, apical one-fifth thinly 

 scaly and rugosely punctate ; nasal plate not sharply defined ; median 

 carina fine but distinct, and extending from base nearly to antennal 

 socket ; rostrum at sides densely scaly in basal half ; interocular punc-

 scarcely so apically; pronotum, except median line, with small, shiny,
