25. Cryptorhopalum misellum, sp. n. 
Ovale, convexum, nigrum, haud nitidum, crebre subtiliter punctatum, nigro-pubescens; antennis rufis, pedibus 
sordide rufis. 
Long. 3 millim. 
Hab. Guatema.a, Chiacam in Vera Paz (Champion). 
Distinguishable from the four preceding species by the finer punctuation of the 
upper surface, and from C. subtile by its comparatively broader form and shorter legs. 
We have only two specimens: they are females, and one of them is immature and 
piceous in colour. The club of the antenna is of moderate size, the terminal joint 
rather large, being a good deal more than half the size of the first joint. 
26. Cryptorhopalum subtile, sp. n. 
Oblongo-ovale, leviter convexum, nigerrimum, brevissime fusco-nigro-pubescens, sat nitidum; antennis rufis, 
pedibus sordide rufis. 
Long. 3-33 millim. 
Hab. Guatemata, Calderas, Chiacam (Champion). 
The most oblong in form of this group of species; rather narrow, of an intense 
black colour, which is scarcely rendered less black by the very short fine pubescence. 
The punctuation of the thorax is both fine and scanty; the basal median lobe is broad 
and truncate. The elytra are very long in comparison with the thorax. The club of 
the male antenna is very long; the terminal joint long, rather more than half the 
length of the preceding one. The club in the female is much shorter. The legs are 
very slender, the femora black. | 
Mr. Champion found twenty-five specimens at Calderas. The single individual 
from Chiacam is more densely punctate and may belong to another species. 
27. Cryptorhopalum sordidum, sp. n. 
Oblongo-ovale, minus convexum, nigrum, griseo-pubescens, antennis medio, tibiis tarsisque rufis, crebrius 
subtiliter punctulatum ; antennarum clava, oblongo-ovali, sat magna. 
Long. 2-23 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Guanajuato (Sallé). 
A rather long and narrow form, not closely allied to any other, though it has no 
strikingly peculiar characters. ‘The club of the antenna is less largely developed than 
usual, and differs comparatively little in the two sexes; it is quite black, and the 
articulation separating the two joints is very distinct, the first of the two joints being 
distinctly longer than the last, and a little longer in the male than in the female. 
‘The thorax is closely, but very finely punctate, the punctuation being similar all over 
its surface. The elytra are finely and rather closely punctured, and clothed with a 
fusco-griseous pubescence. — 
The nine specimens, from the Sallé collection, are not in a very good state of 
preservation. The elytra are sometimes rufescent towards the extremity.
