COPTURUS. 83 
31. Copturus gracilipes, sp.n. (Tab. V. fig. 32.) 
Subelliptic, rather narrow, nigro-piceous, the rostrum, antenne, legs, and apical margin of the elytra rufo- 
testaceous or ferruginous ; the vestiture fine: the head with a white line between the eyes, the prothorax 
with three ochreous vitte, the elytra with a spot on the shoulder, a sutural stripe (which is interrupted 
by a dark spot beyond the middle), and various interrupted, transverse or undulate, fasciee whitish, the 
rest of their vestiture blackish-brown ; the under surface thickly clothed with white scales, the vestiture 
of the legs also white. Eyes very large, subcontiguous. Rostrum rugulose, carinate, and densely 
squamose at the base, and smooth and bare thence to the tip. Joint 2 of the funiculus as long as 3-5 
united, 3 and 4 subequal in length, 5-7 short. Prothorax short, rounded at the sides, narrowed and 
constricted in front; densely punctate and subcarinate. LElytra punctate-striate, the interstices flat 
and rugulose. Mesosternum slightly hollowed, and the metasternum flattened, between the middle coxe. 
Legs very slender; femora feebly unidentate, the posterior pair reaching the apex of the abdomen and 
carinate externally. 
Length 22, breadth 154, millim. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
One specimen. <A small species, with very slender red legs and whitish, interrupted, 
undulate fasciz on the elytra, the latter also with a whitish sutural stripe, interrupted 
beyond the middle by a dark spot. It is perhaps nearest allied to C. multiqguttatus. 
82. Copturus bicinctus, sp.n. (Tab. V. fig. 33.) 
Subelliptic, reddish-brown, the antenne, rostrum, and tarsi, and the apical margin of the elytra, more or less 
ferruginous ; the vestiture fine: the head with a line around the eyes, and the prothorax with three 
sharply-defined vittz, ochraceous, the elytra with the suture, two rather broad fascis (one, basal, including 
the humeral callus, the other, undulate, beyond the middle), and a narrow streak at the apex of the 
seventh interstice, ochraceous or cinereous, the rest of the clothing of the upper surface brown, that 
of the under surface and legs whitish. Eyes large, almost contiguous. Rostrum rugulose and finely 
carinate at the base. Joint 2 of the funiculus nearly as long as 3-5 united, 3 and 4 equal in length, 
5-7 very short. Prothorax short, narrowing from near the base, constricted in front; densely punctate 
and subcarinate. Llytra somewhat rounded at the sides, blunt at the apex, depressed along the suture ; 
sharply striate, the strize with fine punctures, the interstices almost flat and rugulose. Meso- and 
metasternum depressed between the middle cox. Legs short; femora unidentate, the posterior pair 
without external carina. 
Length 25-31, breadth 13-1} millim. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
Four specimens. A small species with trivittate prothorax and bifasciate elytra, the 
latter with the suture and a narrow streak at the apex of the seventh interstice also 
ochraceous or cinereous. 
33. Copturus undatus, sp. n. 
Elliptic, piceous, the elytra mottled with rufo-piceous, the antenns: and tarsi ferruginous, the rostrum, femora, 
and tibie reddish; the vestiture rather sparse, ochreous and white intermixed, the elytra also with 
darker scales: the pallid scales on the prothorax condensed into three broad vitte (the central one 
interrupted); the elytra with various interrupted, undulate, irregular, light and dark fascie, the suture 
pale, each of the seriate punctures bearing a narrow scale; the vestiture of the under surface and legs 
whitish. Head broad; eyes very large, subcontiguous; rostrum rugulose and subcarinate at the base ; 
joint 2 of the funiculus elongate. Prothorax short, gradually narrowing from the base, constricted in
