CRYPTORRHYNCHUS. 637 
Species of large size, convex, oblong-ovate form, and robust build, sparsely squamose, with the 
eyes covered in repose, the rostrum curved, the prothorax rounded at the sides, coarsely 
sculptured, the elytra seriato-foveolate, the mesosternum arcuate-emarginate, the ventral 
segments 2—4 equal in length, the femora feebly dentate. (Nos. 7, 8.) 
These forms are closely related to Blaborrhinus and should perhaps be taken as the types 
of a new genus. 
7. Cryptorrhynchus variolosus, sp. n. 
Oblong-ovate, convex, very robust, black, subopaque; sparsely clothed with rather coarse fulvous scales, 
which on the elytra are clustered into a faint curved line on the anterior part of the disc and a large 
scattered patch on the apical declivity, the elytra also with a few intermixed ochreous scales and 
short, decumbent sete. Head coarsely, rugosely punctate, the eyes widely separated ; rostrum short, 
very stout, curved, coarsely, thickly punctate, the antenne inserted beyond the middle, joints 1 and 2 of 
the funiculus subequal in length, the club ovate, acuminate. Prothorax convex, broader than long, 
rounded at the sides, narrowed in front, the hind angles prominent; coarsely, confluently punctate. 
Scutellum small, oblong. Elytra rather long, much wider than the prothorax, parallel at the base; with 
rows of coarse, deep, oval punctures placed in narrow, shallow strisz, which become deeper towards the 
sides, the tenth row short, the interstices somewhat convex, very sparsely punctate. Beneath sparsely, 
coarsely punctate. Metasternum and first ventral segment depressed down the middle and thickly 
squamose, the fifth segment transversely depressed at the apex. Legs very stout, all the femora 
obsoletely dentate. 
Length 103, breadth 44 millim. (<.) 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
One specimen. ‘This species has somewhat the facies of Celosternus rugicollis, Boh. 
8. Cryptorrhynchus convexicollis, sp.n. (Tab. XXXI. figg. 14, 14a.) 
Very like C. variolosus; the elytra with a faint oblique ochreous streak on the anterior part of the disc and a 
common, reversed, horseshoe-shaped, ochreous mark on the apical declivity ; the rostrum a little longer, 
less curved, and more sparsely punctate; the head obliquely sulcate on each side between the eyes; the 
antennal club stouter and slightly shorter; the prothorax more rounded at the sides; the elytral inter- 
stices rugulose at the base; the metasternum and first ventral segment depressed down the middle, the 
fifth segment broadly and deeply excavate at the middle; the legs a little longer; the anterior femora 
unarmed, the intermediate pair sharply, and the posterior pair feebly, dentate. 
Length 123, breadth 54 millim. (?) 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
One specimen, rather worn. This insect is so like C. variolosus that I at first 
thought it was the female of that species; but this cannot be the case. 
Species of large size and subovate form, sparsely squamose, with the eyes covered in repose, the 
prothorax rather sparsely punctate, the elytra seriato-foveolate, the mesosternum broad and 
horseshoe-shaped, the ventral segments 2-4 equal in length, the femora unidentate.
