CRYPTORRHYNCHUS. 693 
upper surface also thickly set with long, erect sete, the legs setose. Head densely punctate, the eyes 
moderately large, distant ; rostrum short, stout, feebly curved, widened at the base, thickly punctate, the 
apical half smoother in the 9, the antennse inserted at or a little behind the middle, the club ovate. 
Prothorax transverse, rounded at the sides, feebly constricted and much narrowed in front; densely 
punctate. Scutellum small. Elytra slightly wider than the prothorax, parallel at the base ; punctate- 
striate, the interstices feebly convex. Beneath densely punctate. Mesosternum very prominent, raised, 
arcuate-emarginate. Legs short; femora sharply unidentate. 
Length 3-33, breadth 14 millim. (¢ @.) 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
One pair. Near C. sedulus, but much smaller and with long sete, the elytra with an 
interrupted black and white sutural stripe and scattered black and white spots, the 
prothorax with a white median vitta. 
116. Cryptorrhynchus unipunctatus, sp.n. (Tab. XXXIV. fig. 9, 2.) 
Oblong-ovate, shining, nigro-piceous, the antenne, the tip of the rostrum, and the tarsi ferruginous; thickly 
clothed with blackish-brown scales, the prothorax and elytra mottled with black, the scutellum and a 
transverse spot on the suture below the base white; the upper surface also set with numerous short, 
coarse, blackish, erect sete, which are clustered into two small fascicles at the apex of the prothorax ; 
the vestiture of the under surface sparse, cinereous, the legs setose, cinereo-annulate. Head rugulosely 
punctate, the eyes distant; rostrum feebly curved, about as long as the prothorax, rugosely punctate and 
a little widened at the base, and finely punctate thence to the tip, the antenne inserted slightly behind 
the middle, the club ovate. Prothorax transverse, rounded at the sides, narrowed and constricted in front; 
densely punctate. Scutellum small. Elytra wider than the prothorax, subparallel at the base; seriate- 
punctate, the interstices punctulate and almost flat. Beneath closely punctate. Mesosternum very 
prominent, raised, v-shaped in front. Legs short; femora acutely unidentate. 
Length 34, breadth 13 millim. ( 9.) 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
Two specimens. In this insect the transverse white spot on the suture is very 
conspicuous, owing to the unusually dark vestiture of the rest of the elytral surface. 
The black markings are asymmetric. 
117. Oryptorrhynchus abjectus, sp.n. (Tab. XXXIV. fig. 10, 3.) 
Subovate, shining, piceous, the elytra sometimes mottled with rufo-piceous, the antenne and the tips of the 
tarsi ferruginous; thickly clothed with intermixed pale brown, white, and blackish scales, the white 
scales clustered into various small scattered spots on the disc of the elytra (and in one specimen into two 
faint curved lines on each side of the prothorax) and the dark ones into two small patches at the base of 
the prothorax, a streak on the third elytral interstice at the base, and some irregular markings beyond 
this; the upper surface also set with short, erect, blackish and pallid sete, the blackish sete becoming 
more crowded at the base of the third elytral interstice, the legs setulose. Head densely punctate, the 
eyes distant ; rostrum stout, curved, not longer than the prothorax, slightly widened at the base, coarsely, 
closely punctate in the ¢, much smoother in the 9, the antenne inserted at the middle, joint 2 of the 
funiculus half the length of 1, the club ovate. Prothorax transverse, rounded at the sides, narrowed 
and feebly constricted in front, slightly sinuate at the base; closely punctate. Scutellum small, rounded. 
Elytra a little wider than the prothorax, parallel in their basal third, the humeri obtuse ; punctate- 
striate, the interstices feebly convex, 3 slightly swollen at the base. Beneath densely punctate. Meso- 
sternum arcuate-emarginate. Legs short; femora feebly unidentate. 
Length 33, breadth 13 millim. (¢ 9.)
