Dec.,i 9 o8.J SCHAEFFER : NEW RhvXCHOPHORA. 215 



the latter separately rounded ; disk with rows of moderately large, approximate 

 punctures ; intervals flat. Body beneath and legs rather sparsely clothed with elongate 

 scales ; first ventral suture rather strongly arcuate at middle. Anterior cox?e nar- 

 rowly separated ; anterior femora not very much stouter and longer than the others ; 

 anterior tibiae feebly bent at apex and denticulate on the inner margin. Length 5 mm. 



Brownsville, Texas. 



This somewhat aberrant species differs from our others by the 

 rather deeply excavate-emarginate apex of beak, wider and more con- 

 vex elytra, longer antennal club, stronger arcuate first ventral suture 

 and shorter front legs. The vibrissse, or bristly hairs on the under- 

 side of thorax are also absent in this species, but are replaced by a 

 very few pale sets, which, however, are easily lost. 



Pandeletejus ovipennis, new species. 



Elongate, oval; densely covered with pale and brown scales, the latter forming 

 a vitta on each side of middle of thorax and also more or less evident on some of the 

 elytral intervals. Beak triangularly emarginate at apex, about as long as wide, 

 feebly narrowing to apex ; median impressed line rather feeble. Eyes, small rounded. 

 Scrobes feebly arcuate, distant from the eyes and rather long. Prothorax about as long 

 as wide; sides feebly arcuate andslightly constricted at base and apex ; disk somewhat 

 coarsely but not densely punctate. Elytra at base about as wide as the prothorax at 

 base; humeri absent ; sides arcuate; the punctures of the regular series moderate ; 

 intervals more or less convex. Anterior femora moderately large ; anterior tibise 

 slightly sinuate on inner margin and with about four denticles. Underside of body 

 densely scaly. Length 4 mm. 



Brownsville, Texas. 



The color of the upper surface is variable, some specimens are 

 almost entirely dark, others nearly pale and the scales on the under- 

 side of body are in a few greenish. 



Pandeletejus robustus, new species. 



Color and markings nearly as in hilaris but larger and of more robust form. 

 Beak nearly quadrate, feebly narrowing to apex, which is slightly triangularly emarg- 

 inate ; disk with distinctly impressed median line. Eyes small, rounded. Scrobes 

 short, nearly straight, not passing beneath the eyes. First joint of antennal funicle 

 nearly as long as the two following joints. Prothorax as long as wide ; sides broadly 

 arcuate, constricted at base and apex, but more strongly at base ; disk rather coarsely 

 but not closely punctate and densely covered with cinereous and pale brown scales 

 on each side of middle a longitudinal line of black scales, which is arcuate at middle. 

 Elytra distinctly wider than the thorax at base, gradually widening towards apex ; 

 surface densely clothed with cinereous, pale and dark brown scales, the dark scales 

 forming an irregular, oblique fascia below middle and some more or less distinct spots 

 above and below this fascia. Anterior tibiae slightly bent at apex, inner margin 

 denticulate. Length 5-6 mm. 



Huachuca Mts., Arizona.
