674 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
rugosely punctate and obsoletely carinate, in the Q more finely punctate, the antenne inserted at (3) 
or behind (¢@ ) the middle, joint 2 of the funiculus shorter than 1, the club ovate. Prothorax trans- 
verse, much narrowed in front, flattened on the disc, the sides parallel behind; densely, not very coarsely 
punctate and carinate. Scutellum rounded. Elytra wider than the prothorax, subparallel in their basal 
half, the humeri obtuse; seriate-punctate, the interstices rather coarsely seriato-granulate, 8, 5, and 7 
conspicuously raised, 3 swollen at the base. Beneath densely punctate. Mesosternum raised and very 
prominent, feebly emarginate. Legs rather stout, moderately long ; femora feebly unidentate; anterior 
tarsi of the ¢ with a few, long, projecting hairs. 
Length 43-63, breadth 21-3 millim. (¢ 2.)

Numerous examples. The short, rugosely punctate rostrum, the very prominent, 
feebly emarginate mesosternum, the strongly seriato-granulate dorsal interstices of the 
elytra, the annulate legs, &c., distinguish C. ¢tirwnculus. The elytra, as described by 
Boheman, have a large space at the apex, and a patch at the shoulders, ochreous or 
whitish, these markings being sometimes connected along the suture. 
77. Oryptorrhynchus fucatus, sp.n. (Tab. XX XIII. fig. 14, 2.) 
Oblong-ovate, opaque, black, the antenne obscure ferruginous ; thickly clothed with small dark brown scales, 
with a few whitish scales intermixed, the elytra variegated with black, and each with an oblique, 
irregular, Y-shaped, whitish streak (extending from the shoulder to near the suture), and a transverse or 
subquadrate similarly coloured patch on the disc towards the apex, the femora and tibie faintly annulate 
with whitish ; the upper surface somewhat closely set with short, coarse, erect, blackish sete, the legs 
setulose. Head, rostrum, and antenne much as in C. terunculus. Prothorax transverse, much narrowed 
in front; densely, finely punctate, and feebly carinate. Elytra seriate-punctate, the interstices rugulose 
and finely granulate, 2-9 more or less convex, 3 and 5 conspicuously raised. Beneath densely punctate. 
Mesosternum raised and very prominent, feebly emarginate. Femora unidentate. Anterior tarsi without 
projecting hairs in the ¢. 
Length 43-64, breadth 2,5-3 millim. (¢ 9.) 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
Five specimens. Near C. terunculus, but with the prothorax more finely punctate, 
the elytra feebly granulate and wanting the large apical patch, the oblique whitish 
humeral streak narrower and not continued down the suture, the anterior tarsi without 
long hairs in the male. The vestiture of the prothorax is not sufficiently dense to hide 
the punctuation. 
78. Cryptorrhynchus intricatus, sp. n. (Tab. XXXIII. fig. 15, 2.) 
Qblong-ovate, robust, black, the antenne ferruginous ; variegated above with a dense clothing of rather 
coarse, fulvous, black, and ochreous or whitish scales, the pallid scales sometimes condensed into an 
oblique interrupted streak on each elytron before the middle, and also somewhat thickly set with short, 
coarse, erect, black and fulvous sete, the vestiture of the under surface and legs close and coarse, the 
legs fusco-annulate and setulose. Head rugulosely punctate, the eyes pyriform and widely separated ; 
rostrum short, very stout, feebly curved, densely, rugosely punctate, the apical half shining and more
