420 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
bare), ochreous or fulvous, intermixed with white, the prothorax with two oblique, dense, ochreous lines 
on each side (the outer one reaching from the hind angle to beneath the anterior angle, the inner one 
shorter and in a line with the third elytral interstice), the elytra with a dense, transverse, fulvous space 
on the humeri in front and a similarly-coloured streak on the third interstice just below the base; the 
clothing of the under surface very scattered, that of the legs mostly fulvous, the femora each biannulate 
with white; the elytral coste and the legs also with very short, scattered, decumbent, white bristles. 
Head rugulosely punctate; rostrum (¢) stout, curved, very little longer than the prothorax, bare, 
5-carinate, the tip shining and thickly punctate, (2) a little longer, and with the tip smoother, the 
antenne inserted at about one-third from the apex, joint 2 of the funiculus slightly shorter than 1. 
Prothorax nearly as long as broad, abruptly narrowed in front, the sides almost straight thence to the 
base, the latter strongly bisinuate; sparsely, coarsely punctate, the disc with two sharp, undulate carinz 
running down the anterior half. Elytra twice as wide as the prothorax, rather short, flattened on the 
disc, arcuately narrowing from a little below the subangular humeri, deeply sinuate in front, the sides 
with a small subconical prominence below the base beneath; seriate-punctate, the interstices broad, 
alutaceous, 3, 5, 7, and 9 sharply costate, the ridge on 5 interrupted below the base. Intermediate 
cox widely separated. Mesosternum conically protuberant in front. Ventral segments very sparsely, 
finely punctate. Femora clavate, unidentate, and with a small prominence exterior to the tooth. Tarsal 
claws with a short tooth. 
Length 43-5, breadth 22-3 millim. (¢ Q.) 
Hab. Guatemata, San Gerénimo in Vera Paz (Champion). 
One pair. A very peculiar species, recognizable by the sharply bicarinate prothorax, 
with two oblique ochreous lines on each side, the conically protuberant mesosternum, 
the short, broad elytra, with the second ridge only interrupted, &c. The rostrum, 
head, disc of the prothorax, and a broad space down the suture and the subapical 
fascia of the elytra are almost bare, the surface being dull and alutaceous.

Eleven specimens from the above-quoted localities in our region are referred to this 
species, which, on account of the two longitudinal ridges on the anterior part of the | 
prothorax, is placed next C. leucopheatus by Leconte. In some of them the smaller 
outer femoral tooth is quite distinct (especially on the posterior pair), but in others it 
is absent. he prothorax has two white lines on each side, these being continued on 
to the base of the opposite elytral costa, where they become ochreous. The elytra 
usually have the humeri and apex ferruginous; the alternate interstices are narrowly 
costate, the dorsal ridges more or less interrupted, the first joining the fourth at the
