CRYPTORRHYNCHUS. 659 
finely granulate, 2-9 more or less raised, 3 swollen near the base. Beneath densely punctate. Meso- 
sternum raised and very prominent, feebly emarginate. Femora unidentate. 
Length 32-53, breadth 23-24 millim. (¢ 9.) 
Hab. Mexico, Toxpam and Playa Vicente in Vera Cruz (Sal/é); GuaTEMALA, Senahu 
in Vera Paz (Champion). 
Nine specimens, two only of which are from Guatemala, varying in the colour of the 
scales, and in the size of the six prothoracic elevations. ‘The single example from 
Playa Vicente has the upper surface mottled with cinereous. Bothrobatys variegatus, 
Kirsch, from Colombia, seems to be an allied form. 
46. Cryptorrhynchus seticollis, sp. n. 
Subovate, opaque, black, the tarsi and antenne ferruginous; clothed with small intermixed fulvous and 
blackish scales, the elytra variegated with black, the upper surface also thickly set with short, erect, light 
and dark sete, the setosity blackish and abundant on the prothorax and fasciculate on the dorsal elevations 
of the elytra, the legs setose. Head closely punctate, flattened between the widely separated eyes; rostrum 
stout, curved, not longer than the prothorax, rugosely punctate and feebly carinate, shining and more 
sparsely punctured at the tip, the antennsx inserted towards the base, joint 2 of the funiculus shorter 
than 1, the club ovate. Prothorax transverse, dilated at the sides anteriorly, and abruptly narrowed and 
constricted in front, strongly bisinuate at the base ; closely, finely punctate, and feebly carinate, the dise 
quadrifasciculate across the middle and bifasciculate at the apex. Scutellum small. Elytra much wider 
than the prothorax, subparallel to about the middle, deeply sinuate at the base, the humeri rounded ; 
' the interstices dull, feebly granulate and somewhat raised (except near the flattened suture), 3 much 
swollen and fasciculate to about the middle, abruptly depressed below the base, 5 and 7 also more or 
less raised. Beneath closely punctate. Mesosternum arcuate-emarginate. Femora unidentate. 
Length 51, breadth 24 millim. (<.) 
Hab. Nicaracua, Chontales (Belt). 
One worn specimen. This insect is nearly related to C. coriarius, differing from it 
in the closer and longer setosity of the prothorax, and the much swollen third elytral 
interstice, which is abruptly depressed a little below the base. 
47. Cryptorrhynchus ignobilis, sp.n. (Tab. XXXII. figg. 18, 184, ¢ -) 
Subovate, opaque, black, the antenne and the tips of the tarsi ferruginous; variegated above with rather 
coarse fulvous, black, and ochreous (or cinereous) scales, the ochreous scales on the elytra condensed into 
a curved or oblique streak below the shoulder and the black ones into a small spot below the base of the 
third interstice, the scutellum cinereous; the upper surface also somewhat thickly set with short, stout, 
erect, fulvous and black sete, the latter clustered into fascicles on the prothorax (four in a transverse 
series across the middle and two at the apex); the vestiture of the legs and under surface close and coarse, 
the legs setulose and fusco-annulate. Head rugosely punctate, the eyes widely separated ; rostrum short 
and stout, feebly curved, rugosely punctate and subcarinate in the g, the apical half rather sparsely 
punctate in the Q, the antenne inserted behind the middle, joints 1 and 2 of the funiculus subequal in 
length, the club ovate. Prothorax transverse, abruptly narro wed and constricted in front; densely, finely 
punctate, and also carinate. Scutellum rounded. Elytra rather short, much wider than the prothorax, 
subparallel in their basal half, the humeri obtuse; seriate-punctate, the interstices alutaceous and sparsely 
granulate, 2-9 convex, 3 slightly swollen below the base. Beneath densely punctate. Mesosternum 
prominent, broad, feebly emarginate. Legs rugose, moderately long; femora sharply unidentate. 
Length 33-42, breadth 13-2; millim. (¢ Q.) 
Hab. Guatemata, El Reposo (Champion); Panama, Bugaba, Volcan de Chiriqui 
(Champion).
