CRYPTORRHYNCHUS. 669 
of the elytra. A single specimen from Guatemala apparently belongs to it, and also 
one from Mexico in the British Museum, the latter showing a pallid transverse space 
on the elytra beyond the dark basal patch, and therefore more like Herbst’s figure of 
C. obtentus. The scattered, semierect, setiform scales on the elytra are coarse. 
66. Cryptorrhynchus collinus, sp. n. (Tab. XX XIII. fig. 2, ¢.) 
Elongate-ovate, shining, black, the antenne and the tips of the tarsi obscure ferruginous; thickly clothed with 
blackish or brown scales, the prothorax with a narrow cruciform patch on the disc (sometimes reduced 
to a short streak at the base), the scutellum, and one or two small spots on the third elytral interstice 
at about the middle, cinereous or ochreous, the elytra also with scattered, irregularly distributed, short 
black streaks, the legs mottled or annulate with cinereous; the upper surface sparsely set with short, 
fine, suberect sete ; the vestiture of the under surface cinereous. Head rugulosely punctate, the eyes 
distant; rostrum stout, curved, not longer than the prothorax, rugosely punctate (except along the centre 
towards the apex), finely carinate at the base, much smoother in the 9, the antenne inserted at ( ¢ ) or 
behind (@ ) the middle, joints 1 and 2 of the funiculus subequal in length, the club ovate, acuminate. 
Prothorax broader than long, rounded at the sides anteriorly, narrowed and strongly constricted in front ; 
densely, somewhat coarsely punctate, the anterior lobe smoother, the posterior lobe sometimes with a 
short median carina. Scutellum rounded. Elytra moderately long, a little wider than the prothorax ; 
seriate-punctate, the interstices punctulate and faintly granulate, 3 and 5 raised, the others moderately 
convex. Beneath closely punctate ; first ventral segment depressed down the middle in the g. Meso- 
sternum broad, prominent, feebly emarginate. Femora unidentate. Tuibiz almost straight, angulate at 
the base externally. 
Length 51-53, breadth 2,,-24 millim. (¢ 9.) 
Hab. GuateMata, El Tumbador, Pacific slope (Champion: 3); Panama, Volcan de 
Chiriqui (Champion: 9). 
Three specimens, the male in very fresh condition. Near C. obtentus, but with the 
elytral vestiture much darker, and the black scales condensed into irregular, scattered, 
transverse or oblong streaks (instead of a large, common, subtriangular patch at the 
base), the setze much finer. 
67. Cryptorrhynchus divexus, sp.n. (Tab. XX XIII. fig. 3, 2.) 
Elongate-ovate, rather narrow, shining, black, the antennz obscure ferruginous ; thickly clothed with blackish 
scales, the elytra with a very large, common, transverse, indeterminate, cinereous patch a little beyond 
the middle, the legs broadly annulate with the same colour; the upper surface also set with short, 
scattered, setiform scales; the vestiture of the under surface cinereous. Head rugulosely punctate, the 
eyes distant ; rostrum curved, of the same length as the prothorax, sparsely punctate, rugose and feebly 
carinate at the base, the antennez inserted behind the middle, joints 1 and 2 of the funiculus equal in 
length, the club ovate, acuminate. Prothorax broader than long, rounded at the sides anteriorly, 
narrowed and strongly constricted in front; densely, somewhat coarsely punctate. Scutellum oval. 
Elytra a little wider than the prothorax, convex, elongate, narrowing from about the middle, the humeri 
obtuse ; seriate-punctate, the interstices faintly granulate, 3 and 5 slightly raised, the others feebly 
convex. Beneath closely punctate. Mesosternum broad, prominent, feebly emarginate. Femora 
unarmed. 
Length 6}, breadth 23 millim. (2.)
