CONOTRACHELUS. 367 
inserted at one-third or one-fourth from the apex, joints 1 and 2 of the funiculus equal in length. 
Prothorax broader than long, narrowed and constricted in front, sinuate or crenulate at the sides, 
strongly bisinuate at the base ; coarsely, rugosely punctate, carinate down the middle anteriorly. Elytra 
constricted at the sides below the humeri, and rapidly narrowing from about the basal third ; seriate- 
punctate, the interstices slightly rugulose, feebly granulate at the base, 3, 5, 7, and 9 sharply costate, the 
ridge on 3 and 5 twice, and that on 7 once, abruptly interrupted. Mesosternum flattened between the 
coxee, obsoletely bituberculate in front. Ventral segments sparsely, finely punctate. Femora each with 
a sharp triangular tooth and a minute tooth or prominence placed at some distance from it towards the 
apex. ‘Tarsal claws with a moderately long tooth. 
Length 51,-64, breadth 23-83 millim. (3 2”) 
Hab. Guatemata, Sabo in Vera Paz (Champion); Panama, Bugaba, Volcan de 
Chiriqui (Champion). 
Eight specimens (possibly including both sexes), one only being from Guatemala 
and perhaps wrongly labelled. ‘The conspicuous, rather broad line of fulvous scales 
on the anterior femora, the two minute ochreous spots on the disc of the prothorax 
towards the apex, and the small tooth or prominence on the femora at some distance 
from the larger one, separate C. lineatipes from most of the various other very similar 
Conotracheli. C. ethiops, Kirsch, from Ecuador, is not unlike C. lineatipes, but is 
more depressed and has the anterior femora obsoletely dentate. | 
46. Conotrachelus multiguttatus, sp. n. 
Very like C. lineatipes, but shining; the prothorax a little less transverse, more coarsely rugose, and almost 
bare, except for the two minute condensed ochreous spots on the disc before the middle and the similar 
spot at each hind angle; the elytra more coarsely seriate-punctate, the ochreous vestiture condensed into 
numerous small well-defined spots; the line of fulvous or ochreous scales on the anterior femora very 
narrow. 
Length 5-6, breadth 23-3} millim. (¢ ¢?) 
Hab. Guaremata, Teleman in Vera Paz (Champion); Panama, Bugaba, Volcan de 
Chiriqui (Champion). 
Nine specimens, all but one from Panama. Not unlike C. adspersus, Kirsch 
(nec Lec.), from Colombia, but smaller, and with much shorter elytra, a more rugose 
head, shorter legs and rostrum, &c. 
47. Conotrachelus curtirostris, sp. n. 
Subovate, shining, black, the upper surface mottled with rufo-piceous, the legs (the base of the femora 
excepted) and antenne in great part ferruginous ; the vestiture rather close above, very sparse beneath, 
fulvous, that on the legs intermixed with white, the elytra with a faint whitish fascia beyond the middle 
and a small condensed fulyous patch on the humeri, and also set with very short, fine, pallid, semiereci; 
sete. Head rugulosely punctate and faintly carinate, shallowly foveate between the eyes, which are 
separated by half the width of the rostrum; rostrum short and stout, very little longer than the 
prothorax, arcuate, rugulosely punctate and unicarinate, thickly punctate at the tip, the antenne inserted 
near the apex, joints 4-7 of the funiculus transverse, 2 slightly shorter than 1. Prothorax strongly 
transverse, narrowed in front, feebly bisinuate at the base, the disc obliquely depressed on cach side 
anteriorly ; densely, rugulosely punctate. Etytra nearly twice as wide as the prothorax, subparallel in 
front, the humeri rounded ; seriate-punctate, the interstices slightly rugulose, 3, 5, 7, and 9 sharply 
costate, the ridge on 3 abruptly twice interrupted and with the median portion very prominent, that on
