rather narrow; 211(1 just perceptibly longer than 3id or 4th and 

 (like them) drawn slightly backwards at the sides. Legs rather 

 short and stout; femora very feebly grooved, dentate, posterior 

 not passing elytra; tibiae feebly compressed, straight except at 

 extreme base; tarsi slightly shorter than tibiae, 1st and 4th joints 

 equal, 3rd wide and deeply bilobed. Oblong-elliptic, convex, 

 squamose, winged. 



The above diagnosis is drawn up from European specimens of 

 the typical C. Lapathi, and with which the two species described 

 below are decidedly congeneric. Of the sixteen species referred 

 to Cryptorhynchus and standing* under that name in Masters' 

 ^Catalogue' I am unacquainted with australis, corosus, teter, longi- 

 manus, rncestas and solidus, in all six species. Some of these six 

 species may belong to Cryptorhy7ichus, but the genus of each one 

 of them is very doubtful. Of the others stigmaticus is a true 

 Cryptorhynchus and is redescribed below; Uthodermus and suc- 

 cisits belong to Poropterus; ephippiger to Camptorrhinus^ alhicollis 

 to Metyrios, cariosus to Exithius, femoralis to Amydala, sirius and 

 antares to a new genus, and infulatus also to a new genus. 



Elytra with six spots at summit of posterior declivity stigmaticus, Fasc. 



Elytra f asciate at summit of declivity vems, n. sp. 



Cryptorhynchus stigmaticus, Pasc; Mast. Cat. No. 5550. 



Brownish-black, antennae dull red. Eather sparsel}'- clothed 

 (except on scutellum, where the clothing is dense and rather pale) 

 with small scales varying from a dingy whitish-grey to brown, 

 each elytron with three small spots about summit of posterior 

 declivity, the median ones slightly anterior to the two lateral ones 

 and which are on the 3rd and 5th interstices. Under surface 

 with not very sparse whitish scales; legs with thin whitish scales, 

 denser at apex of tibise than elsewhere. Head with sparse scales, 

 thin in front, rounded behind; sides (behind antennse) and base 

 of rostrum with thin scales. 



* Except O. solidus, accidentally omitted.
