CONOTRACHELUS. 551 
o) 
rostrum moderately stout, curved, uearly twice as long as the prothorax, a little widened at the middle 
and at the apex, rugulose and 5-carinate in its basal half and sparsely punctate thence to the tip, the 
antenne inserted midway, joint 2 of the funiculus almost as long as 1. Prothorax transverse, strongly 
bisinuate at the base, constricted and narrowed in front ; densely, finely punctate. Elytra subtriangular, 
slightly flattened on the disc anteriorly, the humeri very prominent and dentiform ; seriate-punctate, the 
interstices closely, finely rugulose, 3, 5, 7, and 9 moderately costate, the ridge on 3 and 5 broadly 
interrupted below the base, that on 3 also depressed beyond the middle. Mesosternum flattened between 
the coxe, binodose in front. Ventral segments sparsely, finely punctate, Femora clavate, sharply 
unidentate. Tarsal claws with a long tooth. . 
Length 34, breadth 21 millim. (9 ?) 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
One specimen. Very like C. sguamulatus ( 2 ), but with a shorter and stouter rostrum, 
the scales not so coarse and paler, the sete very fine and decumbent, the elytral costie 
more prominent and less broadly interrupted, the humeri more extended outwards. 
16. Conotrachelus levirostris, sp.n. (Tab. XVIII. figg. 14, 14a, 2.) 
Oblong-ovate, shining, black, mottled with rufo-piceous or ferruginous ; the vestiture rather long, coarse, and 
close, fulvous, mottled with white on each side of the disc of the prothorax behind and on the disc of the 
elytra before and beyond the middle, tending to form a transverse irregular fascia posteriorly, the femora 
obsoletely annulate with white, the anterior pair with a fulvous streak at the base. Head densely punctate ; 
rostrum moderately stout, curved, smooth and glabrous from near the base, in the ¢ sparsely punctate at 
the sides and considerably longer than the head and prothorax, in the 2 more elongate, the antenne inserted 
at the middle in the Q and nearer the tip in the 4, joint 2 of the funiculus slightly shorter than 1. 
Prothorax broader than long, narrowed and compressed in front, the sides parallel behind, the base deeply 
bisinuate; densely, rugulosely punctate, and sharply carinate to near the base, the narrow interspaces here 
and there nodulose or granulate. Elytra oblong-subtriangular, rounded at the sides posteriorly, constricted 
beneath the obliquely truncated, prominent humeri; seriate-punctate, the interstices closely rugulose, 
3, 5, 7, and 9 costate, the ridge on 3 broadly twice interrupted, the median elevation on 3 large and 
prominent. Mesosternum flattened between the coxw, slightly hollowed in front. Ventral segments 
sparsely, finely punctate. Femora clavate, unidentate. Tarsal claws with a moderately long tooth. 
Length 63-7, breadth 3-33 millim. (¢ 2.) 
Hab. GuateMata, Cerro Zunil, Pacific slope (Champion). 
Three specimens. Somewhat resembling C. brevirostris in general facies, but larger 
and more elongate; the rostrum long, glabrous, and almost smooth in both sexes; the 
humeri prominent, &c. 
17. Conotrachelus fiexuosus, sp.n. (Tab. XVIII. figg. 15, 15a.) 
Subovate, broad, robust, slightly shining, rufo-piceous, the antenne, rostrum, and legs more or less ferru- 
ginous ; the vestiture fine and rather sparse, fulvous on the head and legs, and intermixed with whitish 
elsewhere, condensed at the sides of the prothorax into a broad yellowish-white band, which is continued 
along the humeri (becoming fulvous externally), and extends broadly down the anterior part of the flanks, 
the elytra each with a large, rounded, dense, fulvous patch at the apex and the seriate punctures each with a 
narrow white scale, the legs with a few whitish scales intermixed, showing a tendency to form aring, the 
anterior pair with a fulvous line at the base above. Head densely punctate; rostrum moderately 
stout, considerably longer than the head and prothorax, feebly curved, very sparsely, minutely punctate, 
shallowly striate at the sides, the antenne inserted at about one-third from the apex, joints 1 and 2 of 
the funiculus elongate, equal in length. Prothorax convex, about as long as broad, a little rounded 
at the sides, narrowing from the middle forwards, very deeply bisinuate at the base ; coarsely, rugosely
