 to the boll weevil (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) . Ann. Entomol. Soc. Am. 

 72: 198-192. 



Ant honomus h unter! n. sp. is described from specimens collected in the 

 Mexican states of Campeche, Quintanta Roo, Tabasco, and Yucatan. The species 

 is apparently most closely related to the boll weevil, Anthonomus grandis 

 Boheman, from which it is distinguished by several external characters. The 

 known hosts of A. hunterl Include the malvaceous plants Hampea nutricia 

 Fryxell and Hampea trllobata Standley.

Because of the scattered nature of the plant, its somewhat erratic fruiting 

 pattern, and the often small number of buds and seed capsules available as 

 developmental sites, it is obvious that large numbers of weevils are not 

 likely to be maintained on Cienfuegosia . We feel that the importance of 

 £. drummondii as an alternate host of t^e boll weevil in south Texas lies 

 in i ts ability to support small populations of weevils which could form the 

 nucleus of infestations of cultivated crops.

Anthonomus bisinuatus , a new species closely resembling A. vestitu s Boheman, 

 is described from cultivated cotton in the Cauca Valley of Columbia. Geogra-
