Literature.
Anthonomus obesulus (Fall). Fall 1913:51-52. Type. From Ormsby County, Nevada (Baker). The type is a female, and with it I place a male from the same locality which is almost surely identical; it is a little less robust, the vestiture a trifle sparser, the pronotal vittae obsolete, and the short elytral vittare while evident, are much less conspicuous; the front thighs have a barely visible obtuse tooth, the hind tibiae are slightly incurved at apex, but scarcely enough to throw the species into the subgenus Cnemocyllus. If it were so referred, however, it is a once distinguishable from any of the species with 7-jointed funicle by its stouter form and sparser vestiture. The species seems best referred to the squamosus group, from all of which it differs by its stouter form. The vestiture is sparser than in any of the species with nearly unarmed femora; murinus approaches it in this respect,but in this latter the scales are unicolorous.
