CRYPTORRHYNCHUS. 695 
the base subtruncate ; with rows of rather coarse, rounded punctures, the interstices densely punctulate 
and more or less convex. Beneath dull, closely, finely punctate. Mesosternum raised and prominent, 
v-shaped in front. Femora sharply unidentate. Tarsi rather long and slender. 
Length 3-33, breadth 12-14 millim. (¢ @.) 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
Twelve specimens, varying in the colour of the scales, but with the general markings 
constant. The double ring-like mark on the disc of the prothorax (suggestive of a pair 
of spectacles) is characteristic. The metathoracic episterna are broad. 
120. Cryptorrhynchus murinus, sp.n. (Tab. XXXIV. figg. 13, 13.) 
Oblong-ovate, narrow, piceous, the antenne, the tip of the rostrum, and the apices of the tarsi ferruginous ; 
variegated above with a dense clothing of white, brownish-cinereous, and blackish scales, with short, 
decumbent, coarser, setiform scales intermixed, the white scales (when present) clustered into an inter- 
rupted median line and several spots on the prothorax, and an oblique fascia and various small scattered 
spots on the elytra, the blackish scales on the latter usually condensed into an elongate streak on the 
suture at the base, a shorter streak below it, and various irregular spots; the vestiture of the legs and 
under surface brownish-cinereous or whitish, the legs fusco-annulate. Head densely punctate, the eyes 
very large and rather narrowly separated ; rostrum curved, a little longer than the prothorax, rugulosely 
punctate, carinate, and slightly widened at the base, for the rest sparsely, very finely punctate, the 
antenne inserted near the middle in the ¢, and at about one-third from the base in the 9, joints 1 and 2 
of the funiculus subequal in length, 3-7 short, the club oblong-ovate. Prothorax transverse, narrowed 
and feebly constricted in front, bisinuate at the base, the ocular lobes not very prominent; densely, 
finely punctate. Scutellum small. Elytra a little wider than the prothorax, subparallel in their basal 
half, the humeri rather prominent; seriate-punctate, the interstices convex, rugulose. Beneath dull, 
densely punctate, the metasternum and first ventral segment broadly depressed in the middle in the 3. 
Mesosternum raised, prominent, v-shaped in front. Legs rather short ; femora unidentate ; tarsi narrow. 
Length 24-34, breadth 1-1} millim. (¢ 2.) 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
Numerous examples, four only of which are distinctly marked with white, the 
others (mostly more or less discoloured) having the vestiture brownish with darker 
markings. 
121. Cryptorrhynchus propinquus, sp.n. (Tab. XXXIV. fig. 14, 2.) 
Larger and a little more elongate than C. murinus ; the vestiture reddish-brown, with a few white scales 
intermixed, the black scales very similarly distributed, the mesothoracic side-pieces usually with an 
ochreous patch; the eyes not quite so large, less approximate; the ocular lobes of the prothorax a little 
more prominent. 
Length 32-44, breadth 13-2 millim. (d @.) 
Hab. Guatemata, Cerro Zunil, Teleman (Champion); Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 
(Champion). 
Six specimens, four of which are from Cerro Zunil, differing too much from the long 
series of the variable C. murinus to be included under that species.
