CRYPTORRHYNCHUS. 687 
very sparsely, finely punctate, the antennw inserted beyond the middle, joint 2 of the funiculus a little 
shorter than 1, the club ovate, acuminate, with deep sutures. Prothorax transverse, rounded at the sides 
anteriorly, constricted and much narrowed in front; densely punctate. Scutellum rounded. LElytra a 
little wider than the prothorax, narrowing from near the base, the humeri obtuse; seriate-punctate, the 
interstices punctulate and sparsely, finely granulate, the alternate ones slightly raised. Beneath closely 
punctate. Mesosternum raised and prominent, arcuate-emarginate. Femora unidentate. 
Length 4,4,—5, breadth 2-22 millim. (¢ @.) 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
Two specimens, differing in the elytral markings. The above description is taken 
from the female; the male has the basal half of the elytra more sparsely squamose 
(leaving a very large, dense, fulvous and whitish patch on the apical declivity), and 
the black mark on the suture towards the apex subtriangular, instead of elongate. The 
basally dilated rostrum, &c., separate C. contaminatus from C. uncipes. 
103. Cryptorrhynchus enodis, sp.n. (Tab. XXXIII. fig. 31, ¢.) 
Oblong-ovate, shining, piceous, the antennee and the tips of the tarsi ferruginous ; thickly clothed with rather 
coarse, intermixed pale brown, white, and fuscous scales, the white scales on the prothorax condensed 
into a median line and those on the elytra into an oblique streak on the basal half of the dise and various 
small scattered spots, and the fuscous (or blackish) scales into various irregular spots or streaks; the 
upper surface and legs also set with numerous erect setz#. Head densely punctate, the eyes rather small 
and widely separated ; rostrum not longer than the prothorax, stout, moderately curved, slightly widened 
towards the base, closely, somewhat coarsely punctate, smoother in the 2, the antenne inserted at (¢) 
or slightly behind (@) the middle, joint 2 of the funiculus much shorter than 1, the club ovate. 
Prothorax broader than long, rounded at the sides, narrowed and feebly constricted in front; closely, 
rather coarsely punctate. Scutellum rounded. Elytra a little wider than the prothorax, subparallel in 
their basal third, produced at the apex, the humeri obtuse; punctate-striate, the interstices punctulate 
and feebly convex. Beneath densely punctate. Mesosternum prominent, arcuate-emarginate. Legs 
rather short; femora feebly unidentate. 
Length 4-5, breadth 12-21, millim. (¢ @.) 
Hab. Mexico, Acapulco, Tapachula (Hége); British Honpuras (Llancaneaux) ; 
Panama, Caldera in Chiriqui (Champion). 
One specimen from each locality, that from Caldera rather worn, but apparently 
belonging to the same species. The fuscous scales are sometimes condensed into two 
curved streaks on the disc of the prothorax behind. The sculpture is almost hidden 
by the rather coarse vestiture. C. enodis is not unlike C. wnetpes, but the scales are 
larger, the eyes are more distant, the elytra are longer and narrower, &c. 
104. Cryptorrhynchus tectus, sp.n. (Tab. XX XIII. fig. 32.) 
Oblong-ovate, piceous, shining, the antennee and the tips of the tarsi ferruginous ; thickly clothed with small 
pale brown scales, with a few white scales intermixed (these latter condensed into two faint oblique 
fascise on each elytron, a streak on the flanks of the prothorax and another in the centre at the base, and 
a small spot between the eyes and another above them), the prothorax with two broad, sinuous, blackish 
vittee on the disc extending from the base to the apex, and the elytra with the scutellar region and some 
irregular transverse marks at about the middle also black; the upper surface set with very short, erect, 
pallid and blackish sete, which on the elytra are seriately arranged down each interstice, the legs setose. 
Head densely punctate, the eyes rather small, distant; rostrum short, stout, arcuate, closely punctate,
