CRYPTORRHYNCHUS. T07 
rather deeply punctate-striate, the anterior femora obsoletely, and the others sharply, 
dentate. The elytra are a little shorter than in C. echinatus. 
142. Cryptorrhynchus pallescens, sp. n. 
Ovate, narrow, shining, rufo-piceous; clothed with pallid scales, which on the prothorax become a little more 
condensed along the middle and at the sides, the upper surface and legs also somewhat thickly set with 
long, erect, pallid setae. Head densely punctate, the eyes distant; rostrum short, curved, rather sparsely 
punctate, rugulose at the base, the antenne inserted at the middle, the club ovate. Prothorax transverse, 
feebly constricted and much narrowed in front, bisinuate at the base; densely punctate. Scutellum very 
small. Elytra a little wider than the prothorax, oval; rather coarsely punctate-striate, the interstices 
feebly convex. Beneath closely punctate. Mesosternum prominent, feebly emarginate. Legs short; 
femora each with a small tooth. 
Length 2%, breadth 1} millim. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
One specimen. In this insect the vestiture is entirely pale. The prothorax appears 
to be faintly bivittate on the disc, but this is due to the scales being more crowded on 
the other portions of its surface. Near C. pallidisetis, but longer and larger, the setz 
coarser, the elytra more coarsely punctate-striate. Smaller and more ovate than 
C. tectus, the sete much longer, the prothorax more sinuate at the base and without 
black vitte on the disc. 
Species minute, oblong-ovate, densely squamose, and with a long, erect, abundant, pallid setosity, 
the rostrum short, straight, and flattened, the eyes rather small, the antennal club ovate, 
the prothorax bisinuate at the base, the scutellum minute, the elytra a little wider than the 
prothorax, the mesosternum arcuate-emarginate, the metathoracic episterna moderately 
broad, the ventral segment 2 slightly longer than 3, the legs short, the femora clavate, 
unidentate. (No. 143.) 
143. Cryptorrhynchus pallidisetis, sp.n. (Tab. XXXYV. fig. 3.) 
Oblong-ovate, piceous, the rostrum, antennee, and legs more or less ferruginous ; densely clothed with brownish- 
white scales, the elytra mottled with pale brown, the upper surface also thickly set with very long, erect, 
fine, pallid sete, the legs setose. Head densely, very finely punctate, the eyes rather small, distant, 
exposed ; rostrum straight, flattened, about as long as the prothorax, very finely punctate, squamose at the 
base, the antennz inserted behind the middle, the club ovate. Prothorax broader than long, narrowing 
from near the base, the base itself feebly sinuate; densely punctate. Scutellum small. Elytra very 
little wider than the prothorax, subparallel at the base; finely punctate-striate, the interstices almost 
flat. Beneath densely punctate. Mesosternum arcuate-emarginate. Legs very short; femora stout, 
sharply unidentate. 
Length 2, breadth 1 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Atoyac in Vera Cruz (H. H. Smith). 
One specimen, somewhat immature, but with the vestiture in perfect condition.
