598 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
before the middle and the darker scales into various small scattered patches, the setiform scales less 
regularly arranged ; the rostrum coarsely, rugosely punctate and carinate at the base, and somewhat 
closely punctate thence to the tip, except along the middle ; the elytral interstices more distinctly 
granulate, 3 raised and setose below the base. 
Length 62, breadth 33 millim. (<7?) 
Hab. Guaremata, Cerro Zunil, Pacific slope (Champion). 
One specimen, differing as above described from T. diffusus. Compared with 
T. suffusus, the present species is narrower and less depressed, the vestiture is not 
so coarse and more mottled, the cinereous scales being condensed into two irregular 
fasciee below the base, the legs are more slender, and the femora are less acutely 
dentate. The rostrum has a more definite smooth space down the middle than in 
T. pictilis, which also has the elytral vestiture differently coloured. 
11. Tyrannion ochreopunctatus, sp.n. (Tab. XXIX. fig. 17.) 
Ovate, moderately broad, black, the antennew obscure ferruginous ; rather sparsely clothed with small brown 
or blackish scales, with scattered intermixed, coarser, ochreous scales, the latter clustered into six small 
spots on the prothorax (four in a transverse series across the middle and two at the apex) and numerous 
small spots on the elytra; the vestiture of the legs paler, that of the under surface sparse; the upper 
surface also set with rather coarse, short, suberect, ochreous and blackish setiform scales. Head rugosely 
punctate, the eyes distant: rostrum strongly curved, reaching to the middle of the intermediate coxa, 
rugosely punctate and subcarinate at the base, and sparsely punctate thence to the tip, the antenne 
inserted at or at a little beyond the middle. Prothorax transverse, rounded at the sides, much narrowed 
and feebly constricted in front; densely, rather finely punctate. Elytra nearly one-half wider than the 
prothorax, narrowing from about the basal third, flattened on the disc anteriorly, the humeri obtuse and 
somewhat swollen; seriate-punctate, the interstices flat, punctulate, and sparsely, finely granulate. 
Ventral segments shining, sparsely punctate. Mesosternum U-shaped. Femora feebly clavate, very 
sharply unidentate. Intermediate tibie curved externally. 
Length 675-63, breadth 3545-33 millim. (¢?) 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
Three specimens. The fasciculate arrangement of the ochreous scales on both the 
prothorax and elytra separate 7. ochreopunctatus from most of its allies. Various 
Conotracheli (C. picticollis, &c.) are somewhat similarly marked. 
12. Tyrannion punctipennis, sp.n. (Tab. XXIX. fig. 18.) 
Very like 7’. ochreopunctatus, but differing as follows:—The vestiture coarser, the ochreous scales on the 
prothorax not condensed into sharply-defined spots and those on the elytra here and there fasciculate, 
the scutellum ochreous; the head obsoletely carinate down the middle, transversely depressed above the 
eyes, which are larger and more approximate; the rostrum not so stout, a little longer, and less rugose 
at the base; the prothorax relatively narrower, more coarsely punctate, carinate from the apex to near 
the base; the scutellum larger; the rostral canal narrower; the ventral segments less shining, 2 more 
closely punctate ; the legs a little longer ; the femoral tooth shorter and less acute; the intermediate 
tibies less curved. 
Length 632, breadth 32 millim. ( 2.) 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
One specimen, differing too much from TZ. ochreopunctatus to be included under 
that species, of which I at first thought it might be the sexual complement.
