CRYPTORRHYNCHUS. 699 
dull, finely punctate. Mesosternum raised, very prominent, v-shaped in front. Femora more or less 
_ Clavate, acutely unidentate. Posterior tibie slightly hollowed at the apex within. 
Length 3-34, breadth 14-13 millim. (¢.) 
Hab. Paxama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
Four specimens, probably all males. This insect has the general facies of Grapho- 
notus variisquamis, but it is much smaller, the black markings of the upper surface 
are reduced to a few scattered spots or short streaks, the prothorax is feebly binodose 
on the disc and at the apex, and the prominent mesosternum is v-shaped in front. ‘The 
eyes are more approximate than in C. propinguus, the humeri more prominent, &c. 
127. Cryptorrhynchus pictipes, sp. n. (Tab. XXXIV. figg. 20, 20a, 2.) 
Oblong-ovate, nigro-piceous, the antenne ferruginous; thickly clothed with fulvous scales, with a few 
cinereous scales intermixed, the prothorax spotted and the elytra interruptedly reticulate with black, the 
latter also sparsely set with small suberect scales; the legs nigro-annulate. Head densely punctate, 
the eyes very large and subcontiguous ; rostrum rather slender, strongly curved, a little longer than the 
prothorax, widened, rugulose, and subcarinate at the base, for the rest shining and almost smooth, 
the antenne inserted at about the basal third, the club oblong-ovate, about as long as the preceding six 
joints united, joints 1 and 2 of the funiculus subequal in length. Prothorax broader than long, rounded 
at the sides anteriorly, narrowed and constricted in front, deeply bisinuate at the base; densely punctate, 
smoother at the apex. Elytra a little wider than the prothorax, gradually narrowing from about the 
basal fourth ; seriate-punctate, the interstices (1 and 2 excepted) convex, 3, 5, and 7 more raised than 
the others. Beneath closely punctate. Mesosternum prominent, raised, v-shaped in front. Femora 
sharply unidentate, the anterior pair strongly, the others more feebly, clavate. 
Length 4, breadth 14 millim. (2.) 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
One specimen. More elongate than C. scutulatus, the prothorax less transverse, 
and without fascicles of erect setee on the disc (the latter, however, may be abraded), 
the anterior femora strongly clavate. 
128. Cryptorrhynchus decoratus, sp. n. 
Oblong-ovate, shining, rufo-piceous, variegated with black, the antenne ferruginous; thickly clothed with 
intermixed fulvous, black, and whitish scales, the whitish scales mostly confined to the flanks of the 
prothorax, a line down the middle of its disc, and a small scutellar patch, the black scales condensed 
into a short streak on the disc of the elytra at the base and various irregular markings below this; the 
upper surface also set with short, semierect, setiform scales, which are clustered into four small fascicles 
on the prothorax—two on the disc and two at the apex; the legs subannulate. Head densely punctate, 
the eyes oval and well-separated ; rostrum curved, slightly longer than the prothorax, widened, rugulose, 
and subcarinate at the base, and for the rest finely punctate, the antenna inserted at the middle, joint 2 
of the funiculus shorter than 1, the club oblong-ovate. Prothorax a little broader than long, rounded at 
the sides anteriorly, narrowed and feebly constricted in front ; densely punctate, feebly binodose on the 
disc and at the apex. Elytra considerably wider than the prothorax, parallel at the base, the humeri 
rather prominent; seriate-punctate, the interstices feebly convex. Beneath finely punctate. Meso- 
sternum prominent, raised, v-shaped in front. Legs rather long; femora acutely unidentate, the 
anterior pair rather strongly, and the others more feebly, clavate, the posterior pair reaching the apex of 
the elytra ; posterior tibie straight on their inner edge; tarsi slender. 
Length 34, breadth 13 millim. (¢%)
