688 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
the antenne inserted at about the middle, joint 2 of the funiculus much shorter than 1, 3-7 transverse, 
the club ovate. Prothorax transverse, narrowing from near the base, slightly constricted in front, the 
base feebly sinuate; densely, finely punctate. Scutellum small. Elytra a little wider than the prothorax, 
subparallel at the base; punctate-striate, the interstices feebly convex. Beneath closely punctate. 
Mesosternum prominent, feebly emarginate. Legs stout ; femora each with a short acute tooth. 
Length 33, breadth 14 millim. (¢?) 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
One specimen. Very like C. enodis, but much smaller, the dark vitte on the 
prothorax extending to the apex, the scales smaller, the sete shorter. ‘The shorter 
legs, smaller eyes, longer sete, and complete prothoracic vitte distinguish C. tectus 
from C. erraticus and C. anthonomoides. 
105. Cryptorrhynchus flohri, sp. n. 
Oblong-ovate, rather broad, shining, black, the antenne, the apices of the tibie, and the tarsi ferruginous ; 
thickly clothed with intermixed brown and blackish scales, and with a few scattered ochreous scales, 
these latter condensed on the elytra into a small transverse patch near the suture beyond the middle; 
the upper surface also set with scattered, black and ochreous, erect scales, the black scales condensed 
into two small fascicles on the disc of the prothorax, the legs setulose; the vestiture of the under surface 
pale. Head densely punctate, slightly depressed between the eyes, the latter large, separated by the 
width of the rostrum; rostrum short, very stout, arcuate, rugosely punctate to the tip, the antenne 
inserted at the middle, joints 3-7 of the funiculus transverse, 2 much shorter than 1, the club ovate. 
Prothorax much broader than long, feebly constricted in front, the sides rounded and converging 
anteriorly; densely punctate. Scutellum rounded. Elytra very much wider than the prothorax, 
subparallel to the middle, flattened on the dise anteriorly, the humeri somewhat prominent, obtuse ; 
rather coarsely punctate-striate, the interstices feebly convex, 3 swollen near the base and before the 
middle, and 5 slightly swollen near the base only. Beneath densely punctate. Mesosternum very 
prominent, raised, feebly arcuate-emarginate. Legs rather short; femora unidentate; posterior tibie 
hollowed at the apex within. 
Length 4,4, breadth 24 millim. (<¢.)

Hab. Mexico (ex coll. Flohr), 
One rather worn specimen, labelled “ Durango,” but probably from the State of 
Vera Cruz. ‘This insect has the posterior tibize formed very much as in the male 
of C. uncipes, but in general appearance it is more like C. undulatus. ‘The very stout, 
rugosely punctate rostrum, the widely separated eyes, the comparatively broad elytra, &c., 
separate C. flohri from most of its allies. ‘The dorsal strie of the elytra are sinuous. 
106. Cryptorrhynchus phaleratus, sp.n. (Tab. XXXIV. figg. 1, 1a, 2.) 
Oblong-ovate, shining, black, the antenne and the tips of the tarsi ferruginous ; sparsely clothed with small, 
intermixed blackish and cinereous scales, the latter condensed into small confluent patches on the apical 
half of the elytra, the head with a dense, transverse white patch in front, the scutellum also white; the 
upper surface and legs somewhat thickly set with short, suberect, rather coarse, black and pallid sete ; 
the vestiture of the under surface flavo-cinereous. Head densely punctate, the eyes distant and somewhat 
prominent ; rostrum a little longer than the prothorax, feebly curved, rugosely punctate and slightly 
widened at the base, and minutely punctate thence to the tip, the antenne inserted at about the middle, 
joint 2 of the funiculus much shorter than 1, the club short, ovate. Prothorax much broader than long, 
rounded at the sides, narrowed and feebly constricted in front; densely punctate. Scutellum small. 
Elytra rather elongate, much wider than the prothorax, convex, parallel in their basal third, and rapidly
