Allocorynus mollis Sharp 1890

Hab.MEXICO, Ventanas in Durango, Tapachula in Chiapas (Höge).

Testaceus, antennis pedibusque flavo-testaceis, subdepressus, parce subtiliterque punctatus, subopacus; rostro cylindrico, subcurvato.
 
Long. cum rostro 3½—4 millim.

Rostrum of the male slightly longer than the thorax, punctulate, not shining; of the female as long as the head and thorax, more slender, impunctate, shining. Eyes coarsely granulate, large, and prominent; the space between them somewhat coarsely punctate. Antennæ rather longer and more slender in the female than in the male; second joint shorter than the first; terminal three joints forming a large, very loosely articulated club, the first joint of which is the largest, the apical joint being much smaller, acuminate, without any trace of division or constriction. Thorax strongly transverse, rounded at the sides and narrowed in front, finely and rather sparingly punctate. Scutellum subquadrate. Elytra elongate, but leaving the terminal segment quite exposed, punctured like the thorax; the apices separately rounded.
 
Herr Höge procured a small series of this obscure, unattractive, but interesting little insect. Unfortunately nearly all of them are so immature as to be nearly valueless.
