66 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
1. Copturomorpha interrupta, sp. n. (Tab. IV. fig. 26.) 
Subovate, piceous, the rostrum and antenne ferruginous ; the prothorax sparsely clothed with rather coarse, 
narrow, ochreous scales, which are somewhat condensed on the middle of the disc, and with some coarser 
whitish scales at each hind angle; the elytra mottled with narrow ochreous and fuscous scales, and with 
a whitish sutural stripe, which is dilated below the base into a cruciform patch and interrupted at the 
middle by a common V-shaped fuscous mark, the seventh interstice with an ochreous spot at one-third 
from the apex and the fourth with a similar spot at the base; the vestiture of the under surface coarse, 
close, and whitish, the ventral segments 3-5 with a space down the middle, and 1 at the sides, almost 
bare, the legs with narrow whitish scales. Eyes very large, subcontiguous, the intra-ocular space 
gradually widening above and below. Rostrum rugulose and carinate at the extreme base. Joint 2 of 
the funiculus slightly longer than 1. Joint 1 of the antennal club longer than the others united. 
Prothorax transverse, narrowing from near the base, feebly constricted in front; finely, rugulosely 
punctate, and feebly carinate. Elytra somewhat rounded at the sides, blunt at the tip, depressed along 
the suture; deeply striate, the strie finely punctate, the interstices flat and rugulose. Mesosternum 
broadly depressed, the depression limited on each side by an oblique ridge. Prosternum with a conical 
prominence behind each coxa, and the coxa itself with a similar prominence. Legs short; femora 
unarmed beneath and without external carina, the area on the anterior pair very finely strigose, the 
intermediate and posterior knees with an acute tooth. 
Length 43, breadth 23 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Jalapa (Smith, ea H. F. Wickham). 
One specimen, presented by Mr. Wickham. ‘This insect has the general facies of 
Copturomimus stridulans ; but the femora are unarmed beneath, the posterior knees 
are spinose, and the mesosternum is shaped as in the genus Pecilogaster. 
2. Copturomorpha 11-notata, sp. n. (Tab. IV. figg. 27, 27 a, 6.) 
Subovate, piceous ; somewhat thickly clothed with piliform ochreous scales, the prothorax with a patch at 
each hind angle, a short streak on the basal lobe, and the flanks, the elytra with a small transverse patch 
on the suture at about one-third from the base, a short streak on the suture at one-third from the tip, a 
minute spot at the base of the fourth interstice, another at the base of the seventh, and yet another on 
the seventh at one-third from the apex, and the under surface, clothed with rather coarse white scales. 
Eyes very large, subcontiguous, separated above by a narrow lanciform space. Rostrum rugulose and 
carinate at the base. Funiculus with joints 1 and 2 rather elongate, subequal in length, 3 and 4 much 
shorter, 5-7 very short or transverse. Prothorax transverse, somewhat rounded at the sides, narrowed 
and constricted in front; densely, finely punctate, and feebly carinate. Elytra punctate-striate, the 
interstices flat and rugulose. Meso- and metasternum broadly depressed between the middle cox, the 
mesosternal depression limited on each side by a fine oblique ridge. Prosternum with a dentiform 
prominence, similar to that on each anterior coxa. Legs short; femora unarmed beneath, the finely 
strigose area on the anterior pair just traceable, the posterior knees with an acute tooth. 
Length 3-34, breadth 13-2 millim, 
Hab. Guaremata, San Gerénimo (Champion); Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 
(Champion). 
Two specimens, the one from Guatemala immature and partly abraded, the other in 
perfect condition. Smaller than C. interrupta, the two basal joints of the funiculus 
subequal in length, the markings different.
