690 | RHYNCHOPHORA. 
2 nearly as long as 1, the club ovate. Prothorax much broader than long, strongly constricted and much 
narrowed in front; densely punctate. Scutellum small, oblong. Elytra much wider than the prothorax, 
parallel at the base and narrowing thence to the apex, the latter considerably produced, the humeri 
swollen, obtuse; seriate-punctate, the interstices feebly convex, punctulate, 3 swollen below the base 
and before the middle. Beneath closely, rather coarsely punctate. Mesosternum very prominent, raised, 
feebly emarginate. Legs rather slender ; femora unidentate. 
Length 44-5,4,, breadth 27-24 millim. ( 9.) 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
Two specimens. Very near C. undulatus, and perhaps an extreme form of that 
species, but with the vestiture more variegate, and the dense patches of white scales 
obsolete. 
109. Cryptorrhynchus collabismoides, sp. n. (Tab. XXXIV. figg. 4, 
4a, 3.) | 
Elongate-ovate, shining, piceous, the tarsi and antenne ferruginous ; densely clothed with small pale 
brownish scales, the prothorax with a large patch on the disc, and the elytra with a space below the 
base and a broad, transverse, median fascia (extending forwards to the humeri), indeterminately darker ; 
the upper surface set with very short, semierect, blackish and white sete; the legs with intermixed 
brownish and white scales, and also setulose. Head densely punctate, the eyes rather large and 
prominent, separated by the width of the rostrum; rostrum stout, feebly curved, a little longer than 
the prothorax, rugulosely punctate, the antenne inserted at about the middle, joint 2 of the funiculus 
much shorter than 1, 4~7 transverse, the club oblong-ovate. Prothorax strongly transverse, rounded 
at the sides, constricted and much narrowed in front, feebly sinuate at the base; densely, finely 
punctate. Scutellum rather large. Elytra long, a little wider than the prothorax, subparallel in their 
basal third; seriate-punctate, the interstices rugulose and almost flat. Beneath closely, finely punctate. 
Mesosternum prominent, arcuate-emarginate. Metathoracic episterna broad. Ventral segments closely, 
finely punctate, 2 nearly as long as 3 and 4 united. Femora unidentate. 
Length 54, breadth 24, millim. (<.) 
Hab. Mexico (ex coll. Flohr). 
One specimen. This species has much the facies of Collabismus notulatus, Boh., 
but differs from it in the well-developed scutellum, the broad episterna, the larger 
and more approximate eyes, the stouter rostrum, &c. C. collabismoides approaches 
C. erraticus, but it is more elongate, and has the prothorax less sinuate at the base, 
the vestiture of the upper surface differently coloured, &c. The first ventral suture 
is arcuate. 
110. Cryptorrhynchus erraticus, sp.n. (Tab. XXXIV. fig. 5, 3.) 
Obiong-ovate, piceous, shining, the antenne and the tips of the tarsi ferruginous; densely clothed with small 
pale brown scales, the prothorax with two rather large black patches on the disc at the base, the elytra 
somewhat closely mottled with black or fuscous on the basal half of the disc and with a few small 
scattered blackish spots towards the apex; the upper surface also set with short, coarse, semierect, pallid 
and blackish, setiform scales. Head densely punctate, the eyes moderately distant; rostrum slightly longer 
than the prothorax, curved, rugulosely punctate and a little widened at the base, the apical half closely 
punctured in the ¢, a little smoother in the 2, the antennsx inserted at (3) or behind ( @ ) the middle, 
joint 2 of the funiculus shorter than 1, the club ovate. Prothorax strongly transverse, rounded at the 
sides, constricted and much narrowed in front ; densely, finely punctate. Scutellum small, flattened. 
-Elytra much wider than the prothorax, rapidly narrowing from about the middle, produced at the apex ;
