Cactophagus rufocinctus (p. 86). 



In the Dresden Museum + there is a Cactophagus ( 6 ) from San Carlos, Costa Rica, 

 that must be treated as a variety of C. rufocinctus ; it is rufous spotted with black, 

 like the Colombian C. tibialis (Waterh.), from which it differs in wanting the dense 

 tuft of longer hairs on the intermediate tibia? in the male. The allied C. cirratus is 

 almost equally variable in colour.

 i each side between the points of insertion of the antennae, beneath, and the posterior 

 tibise armed with a small triangular tooth on the inner edge at about the middle.
