84 RHYNCHOPHORA. 
front; densely punctate and feebly carinate. Elytra deeply punctate-striate, the stris broad, the inter- 
stices rugose. Meso- and metasternum flattened between the middle coxe. Legs short, femora feebly 
unidentate beneath, the posterior pair carinate externally. 
Length 21, breadth 1} millim. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
One specimen. Near C. bicinctus, but with a broader head and prothorax, the 
median vitta on the latter wider and interrupted, the elytra with undulate, irregular, 
light and dark fascie, the mesosternum unimpressed, the posterior femora carinate 
externally. The elytra have broader strie than C. multiguttatus, and each of the : 
punctures bears a narrow scale; the fasciz, too, are more interrupted. 
34. Copturus fulvosignatus, sp.n. (Tab. VI. fig. 1.) 
Subelliptic, robust, piceous, sparsely clothed with narrow, intermixed whitish and fulvous scales, which are 
not clustered into vitte on the prothorax, the fulvous scales on the elytra condensed into a transverse 
fascia on the disc below the base, the whitish scales condensed into a large subtriangular scutellar patch, 
an undulate postmedian fascia, and a narrow sutural stripe, the seriate punctures each with a narrow 
scale, the rest of their surface with scattered blackish-brown scales; the under surface clothed with 
coarse whitish scales, the vestiture of the legs similarly coloured. Eyes very large, narrowly separated. 
Rostrum rugulosely punctate and carinate at the base. Joints 1 and 2 of the funiculus subequal in 
length, 3 and 4 short, equal, 5-7 transverse. Prothorax broader than long, somewhat convex, subconical, 
very feebly constricted in front; closely, rather coarsely punctate, the narrow interspaces shining. Elytra 
rather short, rapidly narrowing from a little below the base, blunt at the apex; deeply punctate-striate, 
the interstices densely rugulose and almost flat. Meso- and metasternum broadly flattened between the 
middle coxe. Legs short and stout; femora broad at the base, the intermediate and posterior pairs 
sharply unidentate, the anterior pair unarmed, the posterior knees acute. 
Length 3,,—-4, breadth 13-2 millim. 
Hab, Guaremata, Chacoj in the Polochic Valley (Champion). 
Five specimens. A small, robust species, with the vestiture of the prothorax sparse 
and scattered, the elytra with a transverse fulvous patch on the disc below the base 
and a common, undulate, whitish post-median fascia, the legs short and stout, the 
anterior femora unarmed, the second joint of the funiculus scarcely longer than the first. 
C. fulvosignatus bas the antenne formed very much as in Damurus. 
35. Copturus ignicollis, sp.n. (Tab. VI. fig. 2.) 
Subelliptic, black, the base of the antennew ferruginous; rather sparsely clothed with narrow hair-like scales, 
which are seriately arranged on the elytra: the head with a rufous line around the eyes above; the 
prothorax with three white patches at the base extending forwards to the broad fiery-red apical band ; 
the elytra fulvous, with a transverse space at the base, a transverse patch on the suture before the middle, 
and a large patch at the apex, black and almost bare, the rest of the suture and the basal margin narrowly 
white, the seriate punctures each with a white hair-like scale; the under surface clothed throughout with 
coarser white scales, the metathoracic episterna with a line of fulvous scales along their inner edge, the 
vestiture of the legs white. Eyes very narrowly separated. Rostrum comparatively short, rugulosely 
punctate and carinate at the base. Joint 2 of the funiculus very little longer than 1, 3-7 short. Prothorax 
transverse, gradually narrowed in front; densely, rather coarsely punctate, and obsoletely carinate. 
Elytra deeply punctate-striate, the interstices rugose and somewhat convex. Mesosternum with a
