656 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
closely, and the disc more sparsely, punctate, the disc sharply arcuato-carinate to near the base, broadly 
depressed on each side of this anteriorly, and also depressed at the sides behind, Scutellum rounded. 
Elytra wider than the prothorax, parallel in their basal half, broadly depressed along the suture to near 
the middle ; seriate-punctate, the punctures becoming more crowded towards the sides, the interstices 
alutaceous, uneven, and very sparsely granulate, 3 strongly raised from the base, and 2 and 5 also raised 
posteriorly, the outer ones more or less convex. Beneath densely punctate. Legs rugosely punctate, the 
femora sharply unidentate; anterior tarsi of the ¢ with a few fine projecting hairs. 
Length 64-7, breadth 3-31 millim. (d 9.) 
Hab. Mzxico, Jalapa (//6ge). 
One pair. The dilated sides of the prothorax, the sparsely, unequally punctate disc 
of the latter, and the broadly depressed sutural region of the elytra (in which the 
punctures of the first row are widely separated one from another), separate the present 
species from C. alboscutellatus. | 
40. Cryptorrhynchus hirtimanus, sp. n. (Tab. XXXII. fig. 13, 3.) 
Oblong-ovate, nigro-piceous or black, the antenne and the tips of the tarsi ferruginous ; variegated above with 
a dense clothing of reddish-brown and black scales, with a few whitish or cinereous scales intermixed, the 
whitish scales condensed into a spot on the scutellum, a short line in front of it, an oblique streak on the 
disc of each elytron before the middle, and some small spots or an oblong mark near the suture at about 
one-third from the apex, the upper surface also set with short, semierect, setiform scales; the vestiture of 
the under surface and legs biackish-brown, intermixed with white. Head densely punctate, the eyes 
large, finely facetted, distant; rostrum stout, feebly curved, about as long as the prothorax, rugosely 
punctate and subcarinate in the $,shining and sparsely punctate in its apical half in the 9, the antenne 
inserted at (¢ ) or behind (9 )the middle, joints 1 and 2 of the funiculus equal in length, 5—7 moniliform, 
the club ovate. Prothorax broader than long, narrowed and feebly constricted in front ; densely, finely 
punctate, and also finely carinate. Scutellum rounded. Elytra much wider than the prothorax, sub- 
parallel in their basal half ; seriate-punctate, the interstices rugulose and sparsely granulate, 2-9 more or 
less raised, 2-5 sinuous towards the base. Beneath densely punctate. Mesosternum broad, prominent, 
arcuate-emarginate. Legs moderately long ; femora unidentate; tibis sinuous within ; anterior tarsi of 
the ¢ with joints 1 and 2 slightly dilated and clothed with numerous long, fine, laterally projecting 
hairs. 
Length 6-9, breadth 24-43 millim. (d.) 
Hab. Mexico, Toxpam in Vera Cruz (Sallé: 3); Guatemaa, Chacoj in Vera Paz 
(Champion: 3); Costa Rica, San José (Biolley: @ ). 
Five males and one female. The single Guatemalan example (fig. 13) has the light 
markings on the elytra yellowish and reduced to a conspicuous spot on the disc before 
the middle, and the one from Costa Rica (@) is much larger than the rest. The 
fimbriate front tarsi of the male separate C. hirtimanus from C. rugipes, C. bipupillatus, | 
and other similar forms. 
41. Cryptorrhynchus fulvicollis, sp.n. (Tab. XXXII. figg. 14, 14a, 2.) 
Oblong-ovate, broad, opaque, black, the antenns and the tips of the tarsi ferruginous ; the head and prothorax 
densely, and the elytra sparsely, clothed with rather coarse fulvous or reddish-brown scales, the elytra 
also set with coarse, scattered, suberect sete, and the dorsal prominence clothed with black scales; the 
vestiture of the under surface sparse and pale, that of the femora and tibie dense, coarse, and setiform, 
whitish and black intermixed, the cilia at the apex of the tibie fulvous, the tarsi with whitish piliform 
scales. Head densely punctate, the eyes widely separated; rostrum stout, feebly curved, barely as long
