612 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
8. Graphonotus variisquamis, sp.n. (Tab. XXX. figg. 8, 8a, 3.) 
Ovate, black, the antennz and the tips of the tarsi obscure ferruginous; densely clothed with intermixed 
reddish-brown, ochreous or whitish, and black scales, the black scales at the base of the elytra condensed 
into a short streak on the interstices 1 and 5 and the whitish or ochreous ones into a short streak 
on 2, 6, and 7, the elytra with a common, broad, blackish, sparsely squamose fascia below the base, 
followed by a densely squamose reddish-brown band, which becomes paler behind and extends broadly 
down the disc to the apex; the prothorax with two clusters of short black sete on the anterior 
part of the disc and two others at the apex, the elytra with black sete on the dorsal elevations and 
scattered ochreous sete on the rest of the surface; the vestiture of the under surface whitish, the legs 
variegate and annulate. Head densely punctate, the eyes very large, finely facetted, and narrowly 
separated; rostrum strongly curved, rather slender, nearly reaching the metasternum in the 9, 
rugulosely punctate and subcarinate at the base, and thickly punctate thence to the tip, smoother 
in the 2, the antenne inserted behind the middle, joints 1 and 2 of the funiculus subequal in length, 
the club oblong-ovate, as long as the preceding five joints united, the sutures oblique. Prothorax 
transverse, rounded at the sides anteriorly, constricted and much narrowed in front; densely, finely 
punctate, obsoletely binodose on the disc and also at the apex. Elytra comparatively short, a little 
wider than the prothorax, parallel in their basal third, the humeri rounded; seriate-punctate, the 
interstices punctulate, 3 and 5 strongly, interruptedly costate to about the middle, and 6-9 more 
or less raised throughout. Beneath shining, closely punctate. Femora clavate, sharply unidentate. 
Length 4-53, breadth 2-23 millim. (¢ 2.) 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
Many specimens. This insect somewhat resembles Eudulus reticulatus; but the 
markings are very different, the femora are unidentate, the second ventral segment 
is longer, the elytra are parallel at the base, the ridges on the third and fifth inter- 
stices are abruptly interrupted, &c. ‘The blackish post-basal fascia of the elytra is 
formed by the sparser vestiture on this part of the surface. The eyes are very large 
and subcontiguous. 
9. Graphonotus quadrifasciatus, sp.n. (Tab. XXX. figg. 9, 9a, 3.) 
Oblong-ovate, black, the antenne obscure ferruginous; densely clothed with intermixed reddish-brown and 
brownish-cinereous scales, the prothorax with a whitish line down the middle, which is sometimes 
continued on to the vertex, and a transverse, interrupted, black median fascia, the scutellum whitish, 
the elytra with three narrow, undulate, common, transverse, black fascie (the anterior one interrupted, 
and reduced to a dark streak on each of the third and fifth interstices); the prothorax with two clusters 
of short, erect, black sete at the apex and one on each side (in a line with nigro-setose fascia), the elytra 
with a row of short setiform scales along each interstice, these becoming fasciculate on the dorsal 
prominences, the legs setulose. Head densely, rugulosely punctate, flattened between the widely 
separated eyes ; rostrum curved, rather stout, nearly reaching the metasternum, in the ¢ rugulosely 
punctate and obsoletely carinate, becoming smoother along the middle towards the apex, in the @ more 
sparsely punctate from the base, the antenne inserted at (@) or beyond (3) the middle, joints 1 and 2 
of the funiculus equal in length, the club ovate, acuminate. Prothorax strongly transverse, abruptly 
narrowed and tubulate in front, strongly bisinuate at the base; densely, finely punctate. Elytra 
considerably wider than the prothorax, convex, subparallel in their basal half, the humeri rather 
prominent; seriate-punctate, the interstices rugulose, 3, 5, and 7 usually a little raised and more or less 
swollen at or below the base. Beneath densely punctate. Femora feebly clavate, sharply unidentate. 
Tibize stout, the anterior pair sinuous within. 
Length 33-53, breadth 13-22 millim. (¢ 9.) 
Hab. Paxama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion).
