30 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
§1. Pubescence of the body elongate and erect. 
1. Kugnamptus validus, sp. n. (Tab. I. fig. 25.) 
Fulvo-rufus, flavo-setosus ; rostro, antennis, tibiis tarsisque nigris. 
Long. cum rostro 74 millim. 
Hab, GUATEMALA, Sinanja in Vera Paz (Champion). 
Rostrum elongate, longer than the thorax, shining black. Antenne biack, inserted 
at one third of the length in front of the eyes; the club very long, the terminal joint 
much shorter than the tenth, acuminate, three or four times as long as broad. Head 
sparingly and finely punctate. Thorax rather longer than broad, rather finely and 
sparingly punctate, the punctures extremely shallow. LElytra with regular series of 
punctures which are fine and as large at the apex as at the base, the interstices very 
broad, and with an excessively fine serial punctuation. The upright setosity is serial 
in arrangement, and is slightly paler than the colour of the surface. 
Of this distinct species we have received only one specimen; it is rather immature, 
and will not bear much manipulation, but from its size and proportions I judge it will 
come near to the genus Rhynchites. 
2. Kugnamptus divisus, sp.n. (Tab. II. fig. 1.) 
Fulvo-rufus, flavo-setosus; antennis pedibusque nigris, femoribus basi rufa. 
Long. cum rostro 5 millim. 
Hab. Guatemata, Panajachel 5000 feet, Cerro Zunil 4000 feet (Champion) ; Panama, 
David (Champion). 
Rostrum very short, only as long as the head (in the male). Antenne black, slender 
and elongate, with very long, linear club, the terminal joint of which is much shorter 
than the tenth. Head sparingly punctate. Thorax sparingly punctate, slender, longer 
than broad. Elytra with regular series of definite, rather remote punctures, and 
with a fine, serial interstitial punctuation. Legs black, with the base of the femora 
pallid red. 
We have received three examples of this species; the apex of the middle tibia is 
strongly incurved in the male, in the female the rostrum is rather longer. This insect 
is very similar in its proportions to Hemilypus obliteratus, but the much longer basal 
joint to the hind feet and the obliterated first ventral suture of Hugnamptus divisus are 
sufficient for generic distinction. The figure is taken from the female found in the 
State of Panama. 
3. Eugnamptus diabroticus, sp. n. (Tab. II. fig. 2, 3.) 
Flavus, rostro, antennis prothoraceque pallide rufis, elytris nigro-fasciatis, tibiis metatarsoque nigris, 
Long. 7-74 millim.
