COPTUROMIMUS. 61 
the apices of the femora and the tibie with narrow fuscous scales, Eyes very large, subcontiguous. 
Rostrum reaching to a little beyond the middle coxe, closely punctate and carinate at the base. Joints 
2-4 of the funiculus elongate, 2 nearly one-half longer than 3. Prothorax strongly transverse, slightly 
rounded at the sides, narrowed and constricted in front; densely punctate and subcarinate. Elytra 
broad, much wider than the prothorax, blunt at the tip, transversely depressed at the base ; with rows 
of rather coarse oval punctures placed in shallow strizw, the interstices flat and rugulose. Meso- and 
metasternum broad and flattened between the intermediate coxw. Legs rather long; femora feebly 
unidentate beneath, the posterior pair reaching beyond the apex of the abdomen and without distinct 
carina on their outer face, the area on the anterior pair large and very finely strigose; tibia widened and 
compressed, the posterior pair broad and somewhat rounded along their inner and outer edges; tarsi 
long and slender. 
Length 63, breadth 3 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
One specimen. Recognized by the large, common, dense, transverse, ochreous patch 
at the base of the elytra, the rather elongate hind legs, with dilated tibiz, and the very 
finely strigose area of the anterior femora. 
2. Copturomimus rufocinctus, sp.n. (Tab. IV. figg. 19; 19, ant. femur.) 
Subovate, black, the anterior portion of the prothorax and the elytra in part rufo-piceous ; the vestiture of 
the prothorax rather coarse, that of the rest of the upper surface very fine: the head with a complete 
ochreous line around the eyes, the prothorax with the anterior half rust-red and a median vitta and a 
large patch at each hind angle ochreous or white, the elytra with a common, transverse, angulate, 
blackish fascia below the base (extending to the shoulders), and for the rest mottled with cinereous and 
ochreous, the cinereous scales condensed into interrupted lines on the basal half of the interstices 1, 2, 4, 
6, and 8 (a short streak at the middle of 2 conspicuous), each of the seriate punctures also with a small 
scale; the under surface thickly clothed with coarse whitish scales, the ventral segments 2-4 with two 
broad vitte down the middle, and 2 with a transverse space on each side, black and almost bare; the 
legs with scattered, narrow, white scales. Eyes narrowly separated. Joint 2 of the funiculus very 
elongate, about as long as 3-6 united. Rostrum reaching a little beyond the middle coxe, rugulose and 
carinate at the base, and smooth thence to the tip. Prothorax much broader than long, narrowing from 
the base, feebly constricted in front; densely, rugosely punctate. Elytra moderately long, narrowing 
from a little below the base, blunt at the apex; finely seriate-punctate, the interstices 5,7, and 9 
sharply, and 3 more feebly, carinate, the ridge on 7 and 9 merging into the prominent humeral callus. 
Meso- and metasternum broad and flattened between the middle coxe. Femora sharply unidentate 
beneath, the posterior pair carinate externally and not extending beyond the apex of the abdomen, the 
area on the anterior pair somewhat coarsely strigose. Posterior tibiz rather broad. 
Length 5-63, breadth 24-32 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
Two specimens. Larger and broader than Copturus severint, Heller, from Colombia, 
the elytra nigro-fasciate and interruptedly cinereo-lineate on their basal half, the rust- 
red band on the prothorax extending downwards, the ventral segments 2-4 nigro- 
bivittate, the anterior femora with a strigose area on its upper anterior face. 
3. Copturomimus octocostatus, sp. n. (Tab. IV. fig. 20.) 
Subovate, black, the elytra mottled with rufo-piccous, the tips of the tarsi ferruginous ; thickly clothed with 
small, intermixed fulvous and cinereous scales, the cinereous scales condensed into two faint submarginal 
vittee on the prothorax and various scattered patches on the elytra, the elytra also with an interrupted,
