RHYNCHOPHORA: OTIORHYNCHIN-E. 331 
1 (a). Cleistolophus viridimargo, sp.n. (Tab. XV. figg. 16, 16a.) 
Elongate, subconical, black; densely clothed with brown scales, the prothorax and elytra with a sharply- 
defined, broad, greenish-white stripe along the flanks, which extends obliquely and interruptedly inwards 
across the disc towards the apex, the head beneath, the basal margin of the prothorax, a common 
cordiform apical patch on the elytra, the legs, and the under surface in great part, also viridi-squamose. 
Rostrum subquadrate, slightly hollowed down the middle, the upper portion narrowing towards the 
apex ; eyes large, depressed ; joints 1 and 2 of the funieulus equal in length. Prothorax transverse, 
obliquely narrowed in front, subparallel at the base, the base sharply margined; finely punctate. 
Elytra elongate, acuminate at the apex, of the same width as the prothorax at the base, and constricted 
immediately behind the prominent humeri, the sutural region tumid on the anical declivity, the scattered 
seriate punctures showing conspicuously through the dense vestiture. Anterior and intermediate femora 
dentate. 
Length 114, breadth 5 millim. 
Hab, British Wonpuras (Dyson, in Aus. Brit.). 
One specimen. Larger and much more elongate than C. sudfasciatus, the eyes 
larger, the rostrum with more prominent ale, the prothorax and elytra with a sharply- 
defined, broad, pale greenish stripe along the flanks, the stripe turning obliquely inwards 
across the disc towards the apex. 
Cleistolophus similis (p. 144). 
To the localities given, add:—Mexico, Chiapas (Jfus. Prit.); Costa Rica, San 
José, Escazu (Biolley), Savanillas de Pirris, Azahar de Cartago (Underwood), Lucurrique 
(U.S. Nat. Mus.). 
A common insect in Costa Rica and labelled by Biolley as having been found ona 
Croton at Escazu. Some of its varieties are scarcely separable from C. instadilis, which 
is apparently restricted to the Atlantic slope of Guatemala, whence I have also seen 
specimens found by Messrs. Barber and Schwarz at Cacao, near Trece Aguas *. 
BOTHYNODONTES (to follow the genus Lyrtosus, p. 151). 
Bothinodontes, Kirsch, Berl. ent. Zeitschr. 1867, p. 24. 
Bothynodontes, Scudder, Nomencl. Zool. ii. p. 42 (1882). 
In the British Museum collection there are two broken pinned examples of an insect 
clearly belonging to this genus, the unique type of which, &. squalidus, Kirsch, from 
Colombia, has been kindly communicated by Dr. Heller. Lvepsimus, Schonh., type 
E. setiferus, Boh., from Brazil, superficially resembles Lothynodontes, differing from 
the latter in having ocular lobes to the prothorax and the anterior femora simply 
clavate. Following Dr. Sharp’s system of classification (antea, pp. 101, 102), Bothyno- 
dontes would perhaps be best placed near Lpitosus and Eumestorus ; the free tarsal 
claws, &c., exclude it from the Sciapuilina. The Mexican habitat requires con- 
firmation. 
* Jekel’s MS. name for this species, Epicerus mopanus, was incorrectly given as EZ. mopsurus on p, 144,
