692 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
rugulosely punctate at the base, the apical half somewhat closely punctured, the antenne inserted at the 
middle, joint 2 of the funiculus about half the length of 1, the club ovate. Prothorax much broader 
than long, rounded at the sides anteriorly, feebly constricted and much narrowed in front; densely 
punctate. Scutellum rounded, FElytra much wider than the prothorax, subparallel at the base; rather 
coarsely punctate-striate, the interstices punctulate and feebly convex. Beneath sparsely, finely punctate, 
Mesosternum raised, prominent, arcuate-emarginate. Legs short, rather slender, the femora each with a 
small, acute tooth. 
Length 3,%, breadth 13 millim. (¢ ?) 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
One specimen. The fulvous median vitta and sides of the prothorax, and the 
similarly-coloured subapical fascia of the elytra, are characteristic of this species. 
113. Cryptorrhynchus signifer. 
Cryptorhynchus signifer, Boh. in Schénh. Gen. Cure. iv. p. 157°. 
Hab. Mexico, Vera Cruz (Chevrolat'). 
We have not received a specimen of this species, the type of which I have seen. 
It is nearly related to C. sedulus, but differs from that insect as noted below. 
114. Cryptorrhynchus sedulus, sp.n. (Tab.. XXXIV. fig. 7.) 
Oblong-ovate, shining, piceous, the antenne and the tips of the tarsi ferruginous; densely clothed with pale 
brown scales, the prothorax with three faint whitish lines on the disc at the base, and the intervening 
spaces infuscate, the elytra much mottled with fuscous and white on the disc; the upper surface also set 
with short, erect, light and dark sete, which are nowhere clustered into fascicles, the legs setulose. 
Head densely punctate, the eyes rather large and well-separated; rostrum about as long as the 
prothorax, curved, rugulosely punctate, bare and rather sparsely punctate from the middle onwards, 
the antennee inserted midway, joint 2 of the funiculus much shorter than 1, the club ovate. Prothorax 
transverse, rounded at the sides, constricted and much narrowed in front, bisinuate at the base ; densely 
punctate. Scutellum small, rounded. Elytra a little wider than the prothorax, subparallel at the base, 
the humeri rounded; punctate-striate, the interstices punctulate, feebly convex throughout. Beneath 
closely punctate. Mesosternum prominent, arcuate-emarginate. Legs short ; femora finely unidentate. 
Length 4, breadth 2 millim. (9?) 
Hab. Mexico, Tapachula in Chiapas, Pacific slope ({ége). 
One specimen. Very like Cryptorhynchus signifer, Boh., from Vera Cruz, the type 
of which I have seen, but narrower and less robust, the prothorax differently marked, 
the eyes larger and more approximate, the rostrum shorter, &c. There is no trace of 
a fascicle of darker setee at the base of the third elytral interstice, as in some of the 
allied forms. 
115. Cryptorrhynchus interlitus, sp.n. (Tab. XXXIV. fig. 8, 3.) 
Oblong-ovate, shining, nigro-piceous, the elytra mottled with rufo-piceous, the antenne and the tips of the 
tarsi ferruginous; densely clothed with brown scales, the prothorax with two curved blackish streaks 
on the disc (reduced in one specimen to two small basal spots) and a white median vitta, the elytra with 
an interrupted sutural stripe and various scattered spots black, and the base, the spaces between the 
black marks on the suture, and a few small spots white, the vestiture of the under surface cinereous ; the
