64 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
Meso- and metasternum flattened and unimpressed between the widely-separated intermediate coxe. 
Legs short and rather slender ; femora unidentate, the posterior pair obsoletely carinate externally, the 
area on the anterior pair rather large, concave, and finely strigose. 
Length 3, breadth 13 millim. 
Hab. Guatemaua, Cerro Zunil (Champion). 
One specimen. Smaller and less robust than C. stridulans, the eyes almost 
contiguous, the rostrum finely punctate to the tip, the legs more slender. The 
cinereous scales on the elytra appear to be a little more crowded at the middle of the 
first and second interstices. 
8. Copturomimus brevicollis, sp. n. 
Subovate, nigro-piceous, the elytra mottled with rufo-piceous, their apical margin, the rostrum, antenne, and 
legs ferruginous ; the vestiture fine and rather sparse: the head between the eyes and the prothorax 
ochreous, the latter with two bare spaces on the disc; the elytra mottled with ochreous and darker 
scales, the ochreous scales condensed into a small transverse patch on the suture beyond the middle and 
a narrow streak behind the scutellum; the under surface and legs sparsely clothed with narrow yellowish 
scales. Eyes very large, narrowly separated above. Rostrum moderately stout, not reaching beyond 
the middle coxee, rugulose and carinate at the base. Prothorax nearly twice as broad as long, rounded 
at the sides, narrowed and constricted in front; densely, rugulosely punctate, and finely carinate. 
Elytra deeply punctate-striate, the interstices flat and rugulose. Meso- and metasternum flattened 
between the middle coxee. Legs short and rather slender; femora unidentate, the posterior pair carinate 
externally, the area on the anterior pair rather large and finely strigose. 
Length 22, breadth 13 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
One specimen. Very near the Guatemalan C. sparsus, but with the pallid scales 
finer, ochreous in colour, and clustered into definite markings, the rostrum not so 
stout, the prothorax shorter and more rounded at the sides, the eyes less approximate 
above. 
9. Copturomimus cinereus. (Tab. IV. figg. 24; 24 c.) 
Copturomimus cinereus, Heller, Abhandl. Mus, Dresd. no. 11, p. 64°. 
Hab. Mexico, Orizaba', Toxpam (Sallé), Jalapa, Cerro de Plumas (//ége); PANAMA, 
Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
Six specimens of this species are before me, including one of the types. C. cinereus 
agrees with the Colombian C. ochrofasciatus, Heller (a co-type of which I have seen), 
in having the obliquely strigose area on the anterior femora small and partly hidden 
by the vestiture. ‘he metasternal depression is rather deep. 
10. Copturomimus confluens, sp.n. (Tab. IV. figg. 25, 25a, b.) 
Subovate, black, the prothorax and elytra sometimes piceous, the antenna, rostrum, and tarsi more or less 
ferruginous ; the vestiture rather fine above, coarse beneath: the prothorax with the sides broadly, and 
a space along the middle, ochreous; the elytra with a rather broad basal, median, and apical fascia 
(extending outwards to the sixth stria), connected along the suture, and a transverse patch behind the
