COPTUROMORPHA. 67 
8. Copturomorpha rugipennis, sp. n. 
Subovate, nigro-piceous, the antenne, the tip of the rostrum, and the tarsi more or less ferruginous; sparsely 
clothed with narrow pale ochreous scales, with darker scales intermixed: the ochreous scales on the 
prothorax mostly clustered along the sides, at the middle of the base, and in the depressed space in front, 
and those on the elytra into a transverse basal fascia, a streak on the suture behind the scutellum and 
another at the middle, and a spot at the sides; the under surface with coarser, oval, pallid scales, the 
vestiture of the legs similarly-coloured, the posterior femora with an oblique dark ring. Eyes sub- 
contiguous. Rostrum rugulose and finely carinate at the base. Joints 1-2 of the funiculus equal in 
length, 3 a little shorter, 4-7 short or transverse. Prothorax short, rather convex, constricted and 
narrowed in front; densely, rugosely punctate, and feebly carinate. lytra much wider than the 
prothorax ; deeply punctate-striate, the interstices narrow, convex, rugose. Mesosternum deeply excavate 
between the coxe. Legs short; femora unarmed beneath, the finely strigose area on the anterior pair 
inconspicuous and placed near the base. 
Length 34, breadth 1? millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Toxpam in Vera Cruz (Sallé). 
One specimen. In this species the scattered vestiture is in great,part ochreous 
above, and the incomplete sutural stripe is abruptly interrupted before the middle bya 
transverse dark patch. Near C. 11-notata, but with the elytral sculpture coarser, and 
the transverse white patch on the suture replaced by a darker one. 
4. Copturomorpha albomaculata, sp. n. (Tab. IV. fig. 28.) 
Subovate, black, the antennz, tip of the rostrum, and tarsi ferruginous; variegated above with oval white 
and small narrow black scales: the white scales on the prothorax clustered into three large spots at the 
base, another in the centre in front, and a minute spot at each anterior angle, and those on the elytra 
into a narrow sutural stripe, which is broadly interrupted beyond the middle, a short streak at the base 
of each dorsal interstice, another near the middle of the second, a spot on the seventh at about one-third 
from the apex, and sometimes another on the fourth in a line with it, the rest of the elytral surface 
with black scales; the under surface and legs clothed with white scales. Head bare above; eyes 
subcontiguous ; rostrum carinate and rugulose at the base ; joints 1 and 2 of the funiculus equal in length. 
Prothorax short, constricted and narrowed in front; densely, rugulosely punctate, and feebly carinate. 
Elytra rounded at the sides, blunt at the apex ; deeply punctate-striate, the interstices about as wide as 
the strie, flattened. Mesosternum deeply excavate between the coxee, the metasternum abruptly 
declivous in front. Legs short ; femora sulcate and unarmed beneath, the strigose area on the anterior 
pair inconspicuous and placed near the hase. 
Length 22-23, breadth 13-13 millim. 
Hab. Guatemata, Duefias (Champion). 
Three specimens. Narrower than C. albosignata and C. leucosticta, the mesosternum 
deeply excavate, the prothorax with a minute white spot at each anterior angle, the 
elytra with the white markings less extended, &c. The white scales are coarse, above 
and beneath. 
5. Copturomorpha albosignata, sp. n. (Tab. IV. figg. 29, 29 a.) 
Subovate, piceous or black, the antenne, the tips of the tarsi, and the apical margin of the elytra 
ferruginous ; the vestiture close, coarse, long, and piliform: the prothorax with three large patches at 
the base (the outer one extending forward along the flanks beneath) and a broad transverse band in 
front, and the elytra with a common cruciform patch at the base, a transverse band below the shoulder,
