white, the rest of the elytral vestiture black or blackish, 
Head bare above, closely punctate, without smooth 
space on the vertex, foveate between the eyes, which are moderately large and narrowly separated ; 
rostrum sparsely punctate, rugulose and carinate at the base, smooth along the middle ; joints 1 and 2 of 
the funiculus equal in length, 3 and 4 much shorter, also equal in length. Prothorax short, rather convex, 
constricted and narrowed in front; densely, finely punctate, and also carinate. Elytra rather short and 
broad, depressed along the suture, bluntly and separately rounded at the apex ; shining, deeply punctate- 
striate, the interstices convex, rugulosely punctate. Meso- and metasternum slightly depressed between 
the middle cox. Legs short; femora unarmed beneath and at the apex, and without external carina, 
the strigose area on the anterior pair oblong. 
Var. The elytra with the common subapical fascia reduced to three spots, the transverse subhumeral mark 
wanting. . 
Length 23-33, breadth 13-2 millim.

and a common, broad, undulate, subapical fascia, 
that of the under surface and legs wholly white. 
Three specimens of each form, one only from Guatemala. In this species the 
markings on the prothorax and elytra are clothed with long, coarse, narrow, hair-like 
scales, a character separating C. aldosignata from its nearest allies. 
6. Copturomorpha leucosticta, sp. n. (Tab. IV. fig. 30.) 
Subovate, piceous, the antenne and tarsi, and the apical margin of the elytra, ferruginous ; clothed with 
oval white scales, the upper surface with intermixed small, brown or fulvous, hair-like scales: the white 
scales on the prothorax condensed into a median vitta, a transverse patch on each side at the apex, and 
a large patch at each hind angle (the lateral markings connected externally and almost enclosing 
subtriangular bare spot), and those on the elytra into a broad sutural stripe (which is interrupted before 
the middle), a spot on the shoulder, another at the side towards the apex, and a complete or much 
interrupted line on each dorsal interstice; the legs with narrow white scales. Head bare above, closely 
punctate; eyes large, subcontiguous in front; rostrum rugulose and subcarinate at the base; joints 1 and 
2 of the funiculus equal in length. Prothorax short, densely, rugosely punctate. Elytra shining, deeply 
punctate-striate, the interstices not wider than the strie, rugulose and subgranulate. Mesosternum 
slightly depressed between the coxe. Legs short ; femora unarmed, the strigose area on the anterior 
pair small. 
Length 3-34, breadth 13-14 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
Two specimens, one with the dorsal interstices of the elytra albolineate to near the 
apex, the other with the white lines reduced to a few scattered streaks. Near 
C. albosignata, but with the white scales on the upper and under surfaces oval in 
shape, the head not foveate between the eyes, the elytra more rugose. 
7. Copturomorpha funerea, sp. n. 
Short ovate, black, the antennew, the apical margin of the elytra, the apices of the tibie, and the tarsi, 
ferruginous ; the prothorax with a few narrow white scales at the hind angles and along the sides; the 
elytra clothed with narrow black and white scales, the latter condensed into some small spots at the base, 
a spot at the middle of the suture, another at its apex, and another on the eighth interstice ; the vestiture 
of the legs and under surface white, the posterior femora with an oblique fuscous band beyond the middle. 
Eyes almost contiguous in front, narrowly separated above. Rostrum thickly punctate to the tip, rugose 
at the base. Joint 2 of the funiculus a little longer than 1. Prothorax very short, rounded at the sides, 
constricted and narrowed in front; densely, rugosely punctate, and obsoletely carinate. Elytra rather
