CRYPTORRHYNCHUS. 689 
narrowing thence to the apex; with rows of coarse, oblong punctures placed in shallow stria, the 
interstices feebly convex and sparsely punctulate. Beneath sparsely, finely punctate. Mesosternum 
prominent, arcuate-emarginate, the walls declivous from the base. Legs short; femora feebly 
unidentate. 
Length 5, breadth 24, millim. ( 92.) 
Hab. GuaTEMALA, Cerro Zunil, Pacific slope (Champion). 
One specimen, apparently somewhat worn. ‘The dense white transverse patch on 
the head, the shining, sparsely squamose, and coarsely setose upper surface and 
legs, the rather long elytra, the sloping mesosternum, &c., sufficiently distinguish 
C. phaleratus. 
107. Cryptorrhynchus undulatus, sp.n. (Tab. XXXIV. fig. 2, 9.) 
Oblong-ovate, shining, piceous or nigro-piceous, the antenne and the tips of the tarsi ferruginous ; somewhat 
thickly clothed with moderately coarse fulvous scales, with a few blackish scales intermixed, the elytra 
with a spot or short oblique streak on the fifth interstice below the base, and a narrow, angulate, post- 
median fascia (of variable extent, and sometimes reduced to a few spots), white; the upper surface also 
set with coarse, suberect, blackish and pallid sete, which are clustered into two small fascicles at the 
apex of the prothorax, as well as along the two slightly swollen portions of the third elytral interstice ; 
the vestiture of the under surface sparse and pale, the legs setulose and more or less distinctly annulate. 
Head rugulosely punctate, the eyes rather prominent and well-separated ; rostrum stout, curved, very 
little longer than the prothorax, slightly widened at the base, rugosely punctate and carinate, becoming 
smoother towards the tip, that of the @ finely punctate beyond the middle, the antenne inserted at about 
midway, joint 2 of the funiculus a little shorter than 1, the club ovate, annulate, acuminate. Prothorax 
much broader than long, abruptly narrowed and constricted in front; densely punctate. Scutellum small. 
Elytra much wider than the prothorax, subparallel at the base, broadly produced at the apex ; punctate- 
striate, the interstices punctulate and sometimes granulate, more or less convex, 3 slightly swollen 
below the base and towards the middle, and 5 also swollen below the base, the dorsal strive thus appearing 
sinuate. Beneath coarsely punctate. Mesosternum much raised, very prominent, arcuate-emarginate. 
Femora feebly unidentate. 
Length 33-44, breadth 13-23 millim. (d 2.) 
Hab. Guatemata, Cubilguitz, Senahu, and Panima in Vera Paz (Champion); Panama, 
Bugaba, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
Numerous examples, both from Vera Paz and Chiriqui, varying in the extent of the 
angulate white fascia of the elytra, and in the number and length of the sete. The 
peculiar white markings of the elytra are characteristic. 
108. Cryptorrhynchus decorus, sp.n. (Lab. XXXIV. figg. 3, 3a, 2.) 
Oblong-ovate, shining, nigro-piceous, the antennz and the tips of the tarsi ferruginous ; thickly clothed with 
rather coarse intermixed fulvous, whitish, and black scales—the black scales condensed into two short 
curved vittee on the disc of the prothorax and various spots and streaks on the elytra, and the whitish 
scales into a narrow oblique humeral fascia ; the upper surface also sct with coarse, suberect, scattered 
sete, which are clustered into two small fascicles at the apex of the prothorax and one on each 
of the swollen portions of the third elytral interstice, the legs setulose and subannulate. Head 
rugulosely punctate, the eyes rather narrowly separated ; rostrum curved, not much longer than the 
prothorax, widened and rugulosely punctate at the base, and somewhat closely punctate thence to the 
apex, smoother along the middle, the antenne inserted at about midway, joint 3-7 of the funiculus short,
