CRYPTORRHYNCHUS. 709 
dull, closely finely punctate. Mesosternum U-shaped. Metathoracic episterna becoming very narrow 
anteriorly. Legs rather short ; femora unarmed; tibie rather long, sinuate within. 
Length 23-33, breadth 14-12 millim. (¢ 9.) 
Hab. GuateMALA, Cerro Zunil, Pacific slope (Champion). 
Six specimens. <A peculiar little species, somewhat resembling an Acalles, the elytra 
with clusters of coarse whitish scales at the upper limit of the pallid apical patch, the 
third and fifth interstices each with two conspicuous fascicles of brownish-black sete. 
Species small, ovate, densely squamose and setulose, with the eyes large and coarsely facetted, 
the antennal club oblong-ovate, blunt at the tip, the rostrum feebly curved, the prothorax 
bisinuate at the base, the elytra wider than the prothorax, with the alternate interstices 
slightly raised, the mesosternum feebly emarginate, the metathoracic episterna broad, the 
ventral segments 2—4 subequal in length, the legs short and stout, the femora unidentate. 
(No. 146.) 
146. Cryptorrhynchus nigrocinctus, sp.n. (Tab. XXXV. fig. 6, 2.) 
Ovate, robust, shining, piceous, the antenne and the tips of the tarsi ferruginous: above densely clothed with 
coarse, greyish-brown scales, the elytra with a broad, incomplete or interrupted, transverse, black fascia 
placed at a little before the middle, followed by a very large whitish patch which extends to the apex, 
the flanks of the prothorax and the anterior femora also whitish; the upper surface somewhat thickly 
set with short, suberect, setiform scales; the vestiture of the under surface sparse. Head rugulosely 
punctate, the eyes coarsely facetted, large, and well separated ; rostrum feebly curved, short, stout, 
thickly punctate, rugose at the base, the apical half a little smoother in the 2, the antenne inserted at 
about the middle, joint 2 of the funiculus much shorter than 1, the club stout, oblong-ovate, compact, 
blunt at the tip. Prothorax much broader than long, arcuately narrowing from the base, densely 
punctate. Scutellum small, convex, smooth. Elytra convex, much wider than the prothorax, narrowing 
from a little below the base; coarsely seriate-punctate, the interstices 3,5, and 7 raised, the others 
slightly convex. Beneath coarsely punctate. Mesosternum broad, prominent, arcuate-emarginate. Legs 
short and stout, the tibize broad, the femora feebly unidentate. 
Length 3-34, breadth 13-2 millim. (¢ 2.) 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui, Tolé (Champion). 
Seven specimens, all with the vestiture somewhat discoloured, the broad black 
elytral fascia, followed by a very large whitish apical patch, is, however, conspicuous in 
all of them. The blunt, oblong, compact antennal club is also a distinctive character. 
he seriate punctures of the elytra are quite hidden by the coarse, dense vestiture. 
Species very small, subcylindrical, densely squamose and setose, with the rostrum very short and 
feebly arcuate, the eyes small, the antennal club ovate, the prothorax and elytra subtruncate 
at the base, the scutellum not visible, the mesosternum prominent, angularly emarginate, 
the metathoracic episterna narrow, the ventral segment 2 much longer than 3, the femora 
obsoletely dentate. (No. 147.) 
147. Cryptorrhynchus subcylindricus, sp.n. (Tab. XXXV. fig. 7.) 
Subcylindrical, piceous, the antenne ferruginous ; variegated above with a dense clothing of intermixed pale 
brown, whitish, and black scales, the prothorax with a whitish spot in the middle at the base, and also
