418 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
139. Conotrachelus elongatus, sp.n. (Tab. XXI. figg. 2, 2a.) 
Elongate, opaque, black, the antenne obscure ferruginous ; the vestiture close, fine, brown, the elytra with a 
dense, white, oblong, subquadrate, lateral patch just below the humeri and several minute scattered white 
spots near the suture at about one-third from the apex, the third interstice with a short fulvous streak at 
the base, the upper and under surfaces and the legs also clothed with short, scattered, semierect sete. 
Head transversely depressed above the eyes, densely, rugulosely punctate and also with two minute frontal 
tubercles and indications of a short median carina; rostrum short, feebly curved, exceedingly stout, 
sculptured like the head, faintly carinate down the middle, the apical portion shining and thickly 
punctate, the antenne inserted towards the tip, short, joints 5-7 of the funiculus strongly transverse, 
2 small, half the length of 1. Prothorax about as long as broad, rather convex, a little narrowed in 
front, feebly bisinuate at the base, bidentate at the sides; the surface uneven, sparsely punctate, and 
with six smooth tubercles on the disc (arranged in an irregular series on each side of the middle) and 
some others towards the lateral margins. Elytra elongate, about one-half wider than the prothorax, 
sinuate at the base, subparallel in their basal half, the humeri prominent in front ; finely seriate-punctate, 
the interstices alutaceous, 3 with a series of four oblong elevations, 5, 7, and 9 with scattered tubercles, 
the others with small scattered granules or subconical prominences. Beneath very finely, sparsely 
punctate. Mesosternum conically protuberant in front. Legs short; femora acutely unidentate; tibice 
broad, compressed, sinuate; tarsal claws with a long curved tooth. 
Length 6-63, breadth 23-24 millim. 
Hab. Guaremaa, Cerro Zunil, Pacific slope (Champion). 
Six specimens, from near the coffee-estate known as “ Las Nubes.” Narrower and 
more elongate than C. nodifer, the rostrum and antenne much shorter, the prothorax 
bidentate at the sides and conspicuously tuberculate on the disc, the elevations on the 
third elytral interstice much less swollen, the dense chalky-white humeral patch 
subquadrate. The mesosternal prominence, &c., separate it from C. leucostictus. 
140. Conotrachelus rubicundulus. 
Conotrachelus rubicundulus, Boh. in Schénh. Gen. Cure. iv. p. 47°; vill. 2, p. 50%. 
Conotrachelus pilosellus, Boh. op. cit. viii. 2, p. 50°. 
Conotrachelus arcuatus, Jekel, in litt. * 
Subovate, shining, nigro-piceous or piceous, the elytra rufo-piceous or ferruginous, usually with a common, 
curved, narrow, median fascia and some other markings towards the base and apex black, the antennz, 
rostrum, and legs partly or entirely ferruginous; densely clothed (when fresh) with small brownish or 
brownish-white scales, the prothorax with a strongly-curved white line on each side of the convex 
portion of the disc (the two lines often meeting in front) and a short white line at the sides, the elytra 
slightly mottled with whitish, especially before and behind the dark median fascia and on the humeri, 
the femora annulate, the upper surface also set with numerous semierect, pallid sete (those on the elytral 
markings sometimes blackish), the legs setulose, the vestiture of the under surface sparse. Head densely 
punctate, foveate between the eyes; rostrum (¢) moderately stout, curved, about as long as the head 
and prothorax, striate, punctate at the tip,(2) a little longer and smoother, the antenne inserted 
towards the apex, joint 2 of the funiculus slightly shorter than 1. Prothorax transverse, constricted and 
narrowed in front, moderately sinuate at the base, the sides rounded anteriorly; closely, rugulosely 
punctate. Elytra subparallel at the base, slightly constricted below the humeri; coarsely punctate- 
striate, the interstices rugulose, more or less convex. Ventral segments coarsely, closely punctate. 
Mesosternum flattened between the cox, conically protuberant in front. Femora clavate, feebly or 
obsoletely unidentate, the anterior pair sometimes unarmed. Posterior tibiz slightly hollowed at the apex 
within in the g. Tarsal claws with a very long curved tooth, the two teeth nearly meeting at the tip. 
Length 24-41,, breadth 12-24 millim. (¢ 2.)
