at the sides), and several small scattered spots on the apical declivity, black ; the upper surface also set 
with rather coarse erect sete, which are seriately arranged down each elytral interstice, the legs setose. 
Head densely punctate, the eyes oval, rather narrow, laterally placed ; rostrum very short, stout, arcuate, 
rugulose and squamose at the base, the apical half shining and very finely punctate, the antenne inserted 
at the middle, joint 2 of the funiculus short, the club ovate. Prothorax a little broader than long, 
constricted and gradually narrowed in front; densely, finely punctate. Scutellum rounded. Elytra 
considerably wider than the prothorax, parallel at the base ; punctate-striate, the interstices closely 
punctate, 3, 5, and 7 convex. Beneath dull, densely punctate. Mesosternum prominent, v-shaped. 
Legs short; intermediate and posterior femora obsoletely dentate, the anterior pair unarmed. 
Length 3, breadth 13 millim. (9.) 
fab. Paxama, Bugaba (Champion). 
One specimen. Near C. disinwatus, but smaller, the prothorax wanting the sinuous 
black vitte, the elytra with a double series of black spots across the middle of the disc 
(reduced to one at the sides) and various other scattered black spots on the apical 
declivity, the setee more numerous, the mesosternum a little more deeply emarginate. 
Species small, ovate, robust, densely squamose, with the rostrum strongly arcuate, the antennal 
club ovate, the eyes very large, coarsely facetted, and rather narrowly separated, the 
prothorax short, the elytra broad, subtriangular, with small scattered clusters of coarse erect 
scales on the third and fifth interstices, the mesosternum broad, shallowly arcuate-emarginate, 
the metathoracic episterna broad, the ventral segment 2 longer than 3, the legs short and 
stout, the femora unidentate, the tibiee rounded externally. (No. 92.) 
92. Cryptorrhynchus suturalis, sp.n. (Tab. XX XIII. figg. 24, 24a.) 
Ovate, rather convex, dull, black, the antenne obscure ferruginous; above densely clothed with small 
brownish-ochreous scales, the prothorax with two curved streaks on the basal portion of the disc, and 
the elytra with an attenuate sutural stripe and a streak at the sides towards the apex, black, the 
interstices 3, 5, and 9 each with a series of scattered, coarser, raised, brownish scales, which are clustered 
into small fascicles on 3 and 5, the suture also with a few raised black scales, the scutellum whitish ; the 
vestiture of the under surface very sparse. Head rugosely punctate, the eyes coarsely facetted, somewhat 
prominent, not very widely separated ; rostrum stout, strongly curved, a little longer than the prothorax, 
rugulosely punctate and subcarinate at the base, and for the rest very finely punctate, the antenne 
inserted at about the middle, joint 2 of the funiculus shorter than 1, the club ovate. Prothorax strongly 
transverse, rounded at the sides anteriorly, feebly constricted and much narrowed in front; densely 
punctate. Scutellum oval. Elytra subtriangular, narrowing from the base, much wider than the 
prothorax, the humeri rounded ; rather finely seriate-punctate, the interstices punctulate, 3, 5, 7, and 9 
very feebly convex, the others flat. Beneath somewhat shining, sparsely, rather coarsely punctate, the 
ventral segments 2-4 each with a single row of punctures. Mesosternum broad, arcuate-emarginate, 
Legs rather stout, short ; femora clavate, unidentate ; tibize somewhat dilated, rounded externally, 
Length 42, breadth 21 millim. (9?)

One specimen. A peculiar species, ovate in form, the elytra with a black sutural 
stripe, which is connected in front with the two curved streaks on the prothorax, the 
third and fifth elytral interstices with small scattered clusters of coarser scales,
