82 RH YNCHOPHORA. 
Numerous specimens of this species were found at San Juan, on the north side of 
the Polochic Valley. Smaller and less robust than C. histricus, the elytral markings 
different. 
29. Copturus fulvocruciatus, sp.n. (Tab. V. fig. 30.) 
Oblong-elliptic, dull, nigro-piceous or black, the antenne ferruginous ; the vestiture fine, coarser and some- 
what imbricate on the cruciform elytral patch’: the head with a line around the eyes, and the prothorax 
with three vitte (the median one interrupted, the others excised within), ochreous or fulvous, the elytra 
with a broad, common, cruciform, fulvous and white patch on the apical half, an oblong, subquadrate, 
white patch at the base of the suture, a fulvous spot on the shoulder, and a few other scattered fulvous 
and white scales, the rest of their vestiture black; the under surface thickly clothed with coarse, oval, 
white scales, the lateral portions with a few ochreous scales intermixed, the vestiture of the legs white, the 
femora sometimes with ochreous scales intermixed. Eyes very large, subcontiguous. Rostrum rugulosely 
punctate and carinate at the base. Joint 2 of the funiculus elongate, nearly as long as 3-6 united, 
3 and 4 subequal in length, 5-7 short. Prothorax short, densely, rugulosely punctate. Elytra depressed 
along the suture, punctate-striate, the interstices rugulose and feebly convex. Meso- and metasternum 
flattened between the middle coxw. Legs short; femora sharply unidentate, the intermediate and 
posterior pairs carinate externally. 
Length 3-33, breadth 13-14 millim. 
Hab. Guatemaua, San Juan in Vera Paz (Champion); Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
Twelve specimens. Near C. amanus, but with a broad, common, cruciform, fulvous 
and white patch (the transverse portion fulvous, the sutural portion white in front and 
behind) on the apical half of the elytra, the white patch at the base of the suture 
larger, the legs shorter and stouter, &c. In one example the prothoracic vitte are 
partly white. 
30. Copturus multiguttatus, sp.n. (Tab. V. fig. 31.) 
Subelliptic, rather short, nigro-piceous or piceous, the rostrum, antenne, and tarsi, and the apical margin of 
the elytra, more or less ferruginous ; the vestiture fine, close on the elytra: the head with a line around 
the eyes, and the prothorax with three vitte (the central one dilated at the middle, the others curved), 
flavo-cinereous, the elytra with the suture, three irregular fascie (at base, middle, and apex), and various 
transverse spots or streaks, similarly coloured, the scales on the rest of their surface blackish-brown ; the 
under surface thickly clothed with coarser whitish scales, the vestiture of the legs also white. Eyes very 
large, subcontiguous. Rostrum rugulosely punctate and carinate at the base. Joint 2 of the funiculus 
as long as 8-5 united, 4 much shorter than 3, 5-7 transverse. Prothorax short, somewhat rounded at 
the sides posteriorly, narrowed and feebly constricted in front; densely, rugulosely punctate, and feebly 
carinate. Elytra rather short, deeply striate, the strie feebly punctate, the interstices rugulose and 
almost flat. Meso- and metasternum flattened between the middle coxe. Legs short; femora rather 
stout, unidentate, the posterior pair carinate externally. 
Length 24-33, breadth 15-13 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
Eleven specimens. Smaller than C. maculosus, the fourth joint of the funiculus 
much shorter than the third, the elytra shorter, deeply striate, with the suture, three 
irregular transverse fasciw, and various other spots and markings, which are here and 
there confluent, flavo-cinereous.
