CONOTRACHELUS. 439 
disc; the vestiture ferruginous or brown, sparse and condensed into patches on the slightly raised 
portions of the surface of the prothorax, close and mottled on the elytra. 
Length 33-5, breadth 2-23 millim. (¢ 9.) 
Hab. Guatemaua, Cerro Zunil, Teleman (Champion). 
Six specimens, five of which are from Cerro Zunil, the only one from Teleman being 
much smailer and in great part ferruginous. 
179. Conotrachelus curvimanus, sp. n. (Tab. XXI. figg. 24, 24a; 248, 
anterior leg, 3.) 
Ovate, very robust, dull, black, the antenn, the tip of the rostrum, and the apices of the tarsi reddish; the 
vestiture fine, close above, very sparse beneath, rusty-red, becoming yellowish at the hind angles of 
the prothorax and on the adjacent portion of the elytra, the latter (except towards the base) mottled 
with whitish, the femora faintly annulate with white, the anterior pair with a narrow fulvous line at 
the base above ; the upper surface and legs also set with numerous short, semierect sete. Head rugulosely 
punctate, transversely depressed, faintly carinate, and binodose in front; rostrum moderately stout, 
arcuate, a little longer than the prothorax, shining, sharply 5-carinate, thickly punctate at the tip, the 
antenne inserted near the apex, joints 3-7 of the funiculus transverse, 2 much longer than 1 and nearly 
equalling 3-6 united. Prothorax transverse, rounded at the sides anteriorly, abruptly constricted and 
much narrowed in front, deeply bisinuate at the base; densely, finely, rugulosely punctate, and here and 
there feebly granulate, without trace of median carina. Elytra subtriangular, about one-half wider than 
the prothorax, deeply sinuate in front, the humeri rounded ; seriate-punctate, the interstices broad, finely 
and sparsely seriato-granulate, 3, 5, 7, and 9 narrowly costate, and 10 also costate at the base, the ridge 
on 3 and 5 each shortly interrupted anteriorly. Rostral canal nearly reaching the apex of the short 
metasternum, smooth and rather deep, the mesosternum with a conical tubercle on each side in front. 
Ventral segments very sparsely, finely punctate. Legs stout and rugose; femora clavate, the anterior 
pair unarmed, the others each with a stout triangular tooth and a small prominence placed at some 
distance exterior to it; anterior and intermediate tibis strongly, and the posterior pair moderately, 
curved, not sinuate within ; tarsal claws with the inner tooth much shorter than the claw itself. 
Length 64, breadth 34 millim. (<¢.) 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 3000 feet (Champion). 
One specimen. The unarmed anterior femora, the strongly curved, non-sinuate, 
anterior and intermediate tibiew, the transverse, finely sculptured, non-carinate pro- 
thorax, the finely costate alternate elytral interstices, the close rusty-red vestiture, 
which becomes mottled with whitish on the posterior half of the body, &c., distinguish 
this species. 
180. Conotrachelus verticalis. (Tab. XXI. figg. 25, 25a.) 
Conotrachelus verticalis, Boh. in Schéuh. Gen. Cure. iv. p. 451°. 
Ovate, robust, rather dull, black, the antenne and the tips of the tarsi reddish ; the vestiture very sparse, fine, 
rusty-red or fulvous, closer, slightly intermixed with white, and subfasciculate on the elytra, the head 
with a dense white or whitish patch in front, the elytra with a condensed rusty-red patch at the base of 
the third interstice and a smaller one opposite the hind angles of the prothorax, the femora annulate, the 
anterior pair with a fulvous line near the base above; the upper surface and legs also set with short, 
scattered, semierect setee. Head densely punctate, the front transversely depressed, usually more or less 
distinctly carinate and feebly binodose ; rostrum moderately stout, arcuate, about as long as the head and 
prothorax, 5-carinate, thickly punctate at the tip, a little smoother in the 2, the antenne inserted
