564 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
male thickly clothed with long fulvous hairs. Six specimens, one of them with the 
sixth elytral interstice at the base, and the eighth at the base and apex, feebly 
carinate, as in EZ. munitus, and in an example of EL. orthomasticus from Cayenne now 
before me*,

A species inhabiting both the Atlantic and Pacific slopes of Central America, and 
found by myself in abundance on the western slope of Guatemala. I have seen the 
types of Rosenschoeld’s species and am unable to separate them: C. aspericollis is a 
larger, more uniformly coloured form, and has the prothorax somewhat rounded at the 
sides; C. cinctellus (fig. 32) has the prothorax and elytra much mottled with cinereous. 
The prothorax is asperate and setose, and the sharp median carina extends forwards on 
to the head and rostrum. ‘The “\-shaped carina on the head is sharply defined. The 
second joint of the funiculus is longer than the first or third. The fifth ventral segment 
of the male is simply squamose, not closely pilose as in EF. orthomasticus. The penis 
of the male (fig. 33) is broad and slightly attenuate at the tip. The seventh dorsal 
segment of the female (fig. 52 a) is broad and armed at the apex with four stout, blunt 
teeth of equal length. 
39. Kubulus pilipectus, sp. n. (Tab. XXVIII. figg. 1, la, ¢; 18, penis- 
sheath.) 
Subrhomboidal, black, the antennz fusco-ferruginous ; the prothorax densely clothed with coarse, adpressed, 
fulvous scales, the vestiture of the rest of the upper surface sparser and finer, reddish-brown, with a few 
intermixed black and whitish scales, the latter clustered into small scattered fascicles on the elytra, the 
prothorax and elytra also set with scattered, very short, suberect, setiform scales; the legs and under 
surface with intermixed whitish and fulvous scales. Head flattened in front, asperato-punctate, 
the oblique carine above the eyes meeting at an obtuse angle in the middle, the vertex sometimes 
carinate; rostrum strongly curved, rugosely punctate and sharply carinate in its basal two-fifths, and 
sparsely, finely punctate thence to the tip, smoother in the 9, the antenne inserted behind the middle, 
joint 2 of the funiculus elongate. Prothorax strongly transverse, constricted in front, the sides rapidly, 
arcuately converging from the base; densely punctate, feebly asperate, and sharply carinate. Elytra 
subcordate, seriate-punctate, the interstices 3,5, 7, and 9 very sharply costate, the ridge on 3 curved 
* Kirsch counted the interstices from the first row of punctures, instead of from the suture.
