CRYPTORRHYNCHUS. 705 
138. Cryptorrhynchus furvus, sp. n. 
Subovate, nigro-piceous, the antenne, the apical half of the rostrum, the apices of the tibie, and the tarsi 
ferruginous; clothed with fuscous and black scales, the fuscous scales condensed into a median line on the 
prothorax and the black ones into irregular transverse streaks on the elytra; the upper surface also thickly 
set with very long, erect, fine, black and pallid sete, the legs setose. Head rugulosely punctate, the 
eyes distant, rather large, in part exposed; rostrum short, stout, curved, rugulosely punctate at the 
base, the apical half shining and sparsely, minutely punctate, the antenne inserted behind the middle, 
the club oblong-ovate, blunt at the tip. Prothorax transverse, arcuately narrowing almost from the base, 
densely punctate, the ocular lobes somewhat prominent. Scutellum small, oblong. Elytra rather short, 
subparallel in their basal third, the humeri a little swollen; shining, punctate-striate, the interstices 
feebly convex. Beneath opaque, closely punctate. Mesosternum prominent, arcuate-emarginate. Legs 
short ; femora each with a small tooth; tibie subangulate at the base externally and straight thence to 
the apex. 
Length 2%, breadth 12 millim. (9.) 
Hab. Panama, Caldera in Chiriqui (Champion). 
One specimen. Smaller and less elongate than C. echinatus, the sete finer, the 
antennal club oblong-ovate, the legs shorter, the tibie subangulate at the base, the 
eyes widely separated. 
Species very small, oblong-ovate, sparsely squamose and strongly setose, with the rostrum short, 
stout, and curved, the eyes very large, coarsely-facetted, and subcontiguous, the antennal 
club ovate, the prothorax bisinuate at the base, the elytra wider than the prothorax, deeply 
punctate-striate, the mesosternum very prominent, feebly emarginate, the metathoracic 
episterna narrow, the ventral segment 2 nearly as long as 3 and 4 united, the legs rather 
slender, the femora unidentate. (No. 139.) 
139. Cryptorrhynchus porcatus, sp.n. (Tab. XX XV. figg. 1, la, ¢.) 
Oblong-ovate, shining, black, the antenne and the tips of the tarsi ferruginous; variegated above with small 
patches of fulvous scales, the elytra with a few blackish scales intermixed, and also thickly set with long, 
suberect, black and fulvous sete; the legs clothed with fine cinereous and fulvous scales, the tibiz setose. 
Head densely punctate, the eyes very large, coarsely facetted, and subcontiguous ; rostrum stout, curved, 
short, not longer than the prothorax, widening outwards, rugosely punctate and subcarinate at the base, 
sparsely punctate at the apex, a little smoother in the 9, the antenne inserted towards the base, joint 2 
of the funiculus shorter than 1, the club ovate. Prothorax much broader than long, rounded at the sides, 
feebly constricted and much narrowed in front ; densely, finely punctate. Scutellum oval. Elytra much 
wider than the prothorax, narrowing from a little below the base, produced at the apex; punctate- 
striate, the interstices rugulose or obsoletely granulate, feebly convex. Beneath dull, densely, finely 
punctate. Mesosternum very prominent in front, raised, feebly emarginate. Legs slender; femora 
finely unidentate. 
Length 3-4, breadth 13-14 millim. (¢ 2.) 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
Five specimens. In this insect the elytra have sharply-cut strie, and the rostrum is 
narrowed towards the base, characters separating C. porcatus from many somewhat 
similar forms. The large, coarsely-facetted eyes distinguish it from C. echinatus. The 
elytra sometimes have a few intermixed cinereous scales,
