GRAPHONOTUS. 613 
Ten specimens. This species is of about the same size and shape as Bothrobatys 
laticollis, but the prothorax is not explanate at the sides, the rostral canal nearly 
reaches the metasternum, the markings of the upper surface are very different, &c. 
The interruptedly unifasciate prothorax and the trifasciate elytra are characteristic. 
§ 2. Mesosternal walls parallel between the core, incompletely coalescent behind. 
10. Graphonotus lituratus, sp. n. (Tab. XXX. figg. 10, 10, 2.) 
Elongate-ovate, rather shining, nigro-piceous, the elytra in one specimen mottled with rufo-piceous, the 
antenne and the tips of the tarsi ferruginous; thickly clothed with brown scales, the prothorax with 
a whitish cruciform patch or median line, the scutellum ochreous or whitish, the elytra mottled with 
black and with a few intermixed white scales, the blackish scales condensed into an interrupted line on 
the third interstice; the upper surface also set with short, erect, light and dark sete. Head densely 
punctate, the eyes rather large and well-separated ; rostrum moderately stout, reaching the front of the 
metasternum, curved, sparsely and finely, at the base densely, punctate, the antenne inserted far behind 
the middle, joint 2 of the funiculus nearly as long as 1, the club ovate. Prothorax much broader than 
long, strongly constricted and much narrowed in front, the sides rounded from the base, the base itself 
deeply bisinuate ; densely, rugulosely punctate. Elytra a little wider than the prothorax, subparallel in 
their basal half, produced at the apex, the humeri obtuse; seriate-punctate, the interstices rugulose, 
3, 5, and 7 raised, 3 swollen towards the base. Beneath densely, finely punctate. Rostral canal reaching 
the front of the metasternum, the mesosternal walls horizontal and parallel. Legs rather short ; 
femora unidentate. 
Length 4-53, breadth 13-24 millim. (9.) 
Hab. Guatema.a, Capetillo (Champion). 
Two specimens, varying a good deal in size. 
11. Graphonotus defectus, sp. n. 
Oblong-ovate, rather narrow, piceous, the tarsi in part and the antennw ferruginous; thickly clothed with 
brown scales, with whitish scales intermixed, the latter condensed along the middle of the prothorax and 
forming indefinite markings on. the disc of the elytra, the upper surface also set with short, coarse, erect, 
blackish and brown sete, the blackish setz clustered into two short streaks on the third elytral interstice. 
Head densely punctate, the eyes large and separated by about the width of the rostrum; rostrum 
moderately stout, arcuate, reaching the front of the metasternum, minutely punctate, rugulose at the 
base, the antenne inserted behind the middle, joint 2 of the funiculus nearly as long as 1, the club 
ovate. Prothorax short, rounded at the sides, constricted and much narrowed in front ; densely, finely 
punctate. Elytra considerably wider than the prothorax, subparallel in their basal third, produced at 
the apex; punctate-striate, the interstices 3,5, and 7 raised (except towards the apex), 3 swollen towards 
the base. Beneath closely punctate. Mesosternal walls horizontal and parallel between the coxe, 
effaced in front of the metasternum, the cavity deep. Legs short, femora acutely unidentate; tarsi 
rather slender. 
Length 34, breadth 13 millim. (2?) 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
One specimen. In this species the deep rostral canal might almost be described as 
open behind, the mesosternal walls not closing it in posteriorly. The two dark streaks 
on the third elytral interstice are conspicuous.
