portion of the head and on the flanks of the prothorax, the upper surface and legs also set with long, fine, 
erect sete. Head densely punctate, the eyes large and rather narrowly separated ; rostrum short, feebly 
curved, moderately stout, widened and squamose at the base, finely punctate, the antennw inserted at 
the middle, the club ovate. Prothorax a little broader than long, narrowed and feebly constricted 
in front; densely, finely punctate. Scutellum small. LElytra considerably wider than the prothorax ; 
punctate-striate, the punctures small, the interstices feebly convex. Beneath densely, finely punctate.

Length 24, breadth 14 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
One rather worn specimen. C. humilis somewhat resembles C. echinatus, but it has 
more slender sete, larger eyes, a finely punctate prothorax, more finely punctate-striate 
elytra, &c. It has the general facies of Eutinobothrus pilosellus (Boh.). 
Species very small, ovate or subovate, squamose and setose, with the rostrum curved, the eyes 
rather small, lateral, the antennal club ovate, the prothorax bisinuate at the base, with 
feebly-developed ocular lobes, the scutellum minute, the elytra a little wider than the 
prothorax, 10-striate, the mesosternum prominent, arcuate-emarginate, the metathoracic 
episterna moderately broad, the ventral segment 2 longer than 1, the legs short, the femora 
feebly unidentate. (Nos. 141, 142.) 
141. Cryptorrhynchus strigatus, sp.n. (Tab. XXXV. fig. 2.) 
Subovate, shining, piceous, the elytra more or less mottled with rufo-piceous, the antenne and tarsi 
ferruginous ; clothed with rather coarse pale brown scales, variegated above with blackish or fuscous ; 
the upper surface also thickly set with short, coarse, erect seta, the legs strongly setose. Head closely, 
rather coarsely punctate, the eyes coarsely facetted, distant ; rostrum short, stout, feebly curved, rugosely 
punctate in the ¢, much smoother in the 9, the antennz inserted at or a little behind the middle, 
joint 2 of the funiculus shorter than 1, the club ovate. Prothorax transverse, narrowed and feebly 
constricted in front ; densely punctate. Scutellum small. Elytra considerably wider than the prothorax, 
narrowing from before the middle; deeply punctate-striate, the interstices convex. Beneath densely 
punctate. Mesosternum prominent, v-shaped. Legs short; anterior femora obsoletely, the others 
acutely, unidentate. 
Length 23-37, breadth 14-14 millim. (¢ 9.) 
Hab. Mexico, Tapachula in Chiapas (Hége); GuatemaLa, Teleman and Chacoj in 
Vera Paz (Champion). 
Seven specimens. An obscure little species, with the vestiture of the upper surface 
not arranged in any definite pattern, the erect sete coarse and numerous, the elytra
