CRYPTORRHYNCHUS, 697 
large, rather coarsely facetted, and narrowly separated; rostrum curved, a little longer than the 
prothorax, finely punctate, the basal half rugulose and feebly carinate, smoother in the 2, the antenne 
inserted at (@) or slightly beyond (¢) the middle, joints 2-7 of the funiculus short, the club ovate. 
Prothorax transverse, rounded at the sides anteriorly, much narrowed in front; densely, finely punctate 
and obsoletely carinate. Scutellum rounded. LElytra rather short, considerably wider than the 
prothorax, narrowing from near the base, the humeri obtuse; finely punctate-striate, the interstices 
punctulate, 3, 5, 7, and 9 more or less raised, 3 slightly swollen before and beyond the middle, 
9 subcostate. Beneath densely punctate. Mesosternum U-shaped. Femora feebly unidentate. Tibie 
almost straight, subangulate at the base externally. 
Length 31-32, breadth 13-17 millim. (¢ Q.) 
Hab. Guatemata, Chacoj in Vera Paz, El Tumbador, El Reposo (Champion). 
Four specimens. A small, ovate form, with close blackish vestiture, a white 
scutellum, and two clusters of coarse, erect, velvety-black scales on each elytron near 
the suture, the posterior two sometimes united into a common, curved fascia. 
C. quadrisignatus might perhaps be included amongst the smaller forms here placed 
in Section B of Hubulus. 
Species small, ovate, robust, thickly squamose, with the rostrum short and curved, the eyes very 
large, finely facetted, and narrowly separated, the antennal club oblong-ovate, the prothorax 
bisinuate at the base, with prominent ocular lobes, the scutellum small, the elytra oval, 
with concentric markings, sinuate at the sides beneath, the mesosternum prominent, feebly, 
subangularly emarginate, the metathoracic episterna moderately broad, the ventral segment 
2 longer than 3, the legs short and stout, the femora unidentate. (No. 124.) 
124. Cryptorrhynchus concentricus, sp.n. (Tab. XXXIV. fig. 17.) 
Subovate, robust, black, the antenne ferruginous; densely clothed with fulvous scales, the prothorax with 
coarser scales, which become sparser and darker on the disc and paler or whitish across the anterior 
constriction ; the elytra with a streak along the suture behind the scutellum, a common annulus at the 
base, an interrupted curved line beyond it, and a faint transverse fascia near the apex, black, the annulus 
incompletely bordered within and without by a more or less distinct whitish line, the apex and a space 
in front of the dark line sometimes slightly suffused with whitish ; the upper surface also set with very 
short, decumbent, setiform scales; the vestiture of the under surface close and pale, that of the legs 
fulvous, the femora cinereous at the base. Head rugulosely punctate, the eyes very large, finely facetted, 
rather narrowly separated ; rostrum short, curved, rugosely punctate, obsoletely carinate at the base, 
the apical half more sparsely punctate in the 9, the antenne inserted at the middle, joint 2 of the 
funiculus a little shorter than 1, 3-7 transverse, the club oblong-ovate. Prothorax transverse, abruptly 
narrowed and strongly constricted in front; densely punctate. Scutellum small, rounded. LElytra 
considerably wider than the prothorax, narrowing from a little below the base, the humeri rounded ; 
seriate-punctate, the interstices densely punctulate, feebly convex. Beneath opaque, densely punctate. 
Mesosternum raised, very prominent, v-shaped, Legs short and stout; femora sharply unidentate. 
Length 44-5, breadth 23-23 millim. (d 2.) 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
Three specimens. The peculiar elytral markings readily distinguish C. concentricus. 
It is rather like some of the species here placed under Tyrannion, but has very large, 
finely-facetted eyes.
