GRAPHONOTUS. 611 
6. Graphonotus albescens, sp.n. (Tab. XXX. fige. 6, 6a, 3.) 
Oblong-ovate, black, the antennz, and sometimes the rostrum also, obscure ferruginous ; thickly clothed above 
with intermixed whitish, fulvous, and dark brown scales, the darker scales on the prothorax in great 
part confined to the sides and on the elytra condensed into a transverse subquadrate patch behind the 
scutellum and a large subtriangular lateral patch, the vertex sometimes with a whitish line, the elytra 
also with a few scattered decumbent sete; the vestiture of the legs and under surface whitish and 
fulvous intermixed. Head rugosely punctate, the eyes separated by about the width of the rostrum ; 
rostrum stout, curved, nearly reaching the metasternum in the 9, a little shorter in the ¢, rugosely 
punctate at the base and thickly punctate thence to the tip, smoother in the Q, the antenne inserted 
behind the middle, joint 2 of the funiculus almost as long as 1, 3-7 short and together about as long as 
the oblong-ovate club. Prothorax broader than long, rounded at the sides before the middle, and 
constricted and much narrowed in front; densely punctate and obsoletely granulate, the disc broadly 
depressed down the middle and with a short median carina. Elytra a little wider than the prothorax, 
parallel at the base ; coarsely seriate-punctate, the interstices 3 and 5 strongly, and 7 and 8 more feebly, 
serrulato-costate. Ventral segments very sparsely, finely punctate. Mesosternal cavity broad and deep. 
Legs rather stout, the femora clavate and acutely unidentate. 
Length 63-81, breadth 3-34 millim. (3 Q.) 
Hab. Mxxico, Jalapa (Hége), Toxpam, Orizaba, Juquila (Sallé); Panama, Volcan de 
Chiriqui (Champion). 
Nine specimens, two only of which are from Chiriqui. This species closely 
resembles Cophes quadricostatus, but the anterior tarsi of the male want the long, 
laterally-projecting hairs; the whitish vestiture of the upper surface is more extended, 
the prothorax is depressed and shortly carinate on the disc, and the femora are equally 
unidentate. The dark lateral patch of the elytra varies in size. 
7. Graphonotus cinctipennis, sp. n. (Tab. XXX. figg. 7, 7a, ?.) 
Oblong-ovate, shining, nigro-piceous or black, the antenne ferruginous ; thickly clothed with small brown or 
greyish-brown scales, with blackish scales intermixed (especially on the basal half of the elytra), the 
elytra with a more or less distinct, transverse, white, post-median fascia, and the prothorax sometimes 
with two dark patches at the base and a white median vitta; the upper surface also set with very short, 
inconspicuous, scattered, setiform scales ; the vestiture of the legs brown, intermixed with white. Head 
densely punctate, the eyes distant; rostrum (¢) about as long as the head and prothorax, curved, 
rugosely punctate, (2) longer, straighter, and much smoother, the antenne inserted near the middle in 
the g, and at about the basal third in the 2, joint 1 of the funiculus elongate, 2 much shorter, the club 
ovate. Prothorax strongly transverse, rounded at the sides, constricted and much narrowed in front ; 
densely, finely punctate. Elytra wider than the prothorax, narrowing from the middle, produced at the 
apex ; punctate-striate, the interstices rugulose, flat on the disc, somewhat convex at the sides. Beneath 
closely, finely punctate; rostral canal reaching the metasternum in the 9, shorter in the g. Legs rather 
slender ; femora unidentate. 
Length 4-6}, breadth 2-2? millim. (¢ 9.) 
Hab. Mexico, Cordova, Toxpam (Sallé); Guatemana, Cerro Zunil (Champion). 
Six specimens, varying in size (the larger males having the prothorax much more 
rounded at the sides), in the length of the rostral canal (according to the sex), and in 
the development of the white elytral fascia. Single examples from Chontales and the 
Volcan de Chiriqui may also belong here, but they do not altogether agree with those 
described.
