122 Mr. G. C. Champion’s Notes on 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
One specimen. A small black form, with a rufous patch 
on the middle of each elytron and pallid legs. The coxal 
lines are placed as in C. tumudiventris. 
*Cryptognatha circumducta, n. sp. 
Hemispherical, very convex, moderately shining, glabrous; 
ferruginous, the elytra with the base, apex, outer margin, and 
suture broadly piceous, the metasternum also infuscate or piceous. 
Head, thorax, and elytra somewhat closely punctulate, the inter- 
spaces alutaceous. Beneath very finely punctate, the metasternum 
with a transverse smoother space behind each coxa; coxal line of 
first ventral segment extending arcuately outwards at some distance 
behind the coxae to near the outer margin of the segment. Tibiae 
broad, the anterior pair deeply sulcate. 
Length 1} mm. 
Hab. Panama, Tolé, Petia Blanca (Champion). 
Two specimens, left labelled Cryptognatha sp.? by 
Gorham. The dark margins to the elytra in this insect 
leave a very large, ill-defined, ferruginous dorsal patch. 
The elytral surface is alutaceous and distinctly, finely 
punctate. The coxal line on the first ventral segment 
is somewhat strongly curved. 
*Cryptognatha tumidiventris, n. sp. 
Hemispherical, very convex, shining, glabrous, black, the antennae, 
coxae, and legs, and in one specimen (¢ ?) the head and a patch 
at the anterior angles of the thorax also, testaceous, the ventral 
segments rufous. Head and thorax closely, the elytra very sparsely, 
punctulate; elytra finely margined. Beneath very sparsely, 
minutely punctate; intercoxal process of the first ventral segment 
broadly tumid in the middle; coxal lines prominent, that of the 
metasternum curved round the coxae, that of the first ventral 
segment extending far outwards in a feeble curve to within a short 
distance of the outer margin of the segment. Tibiae broad, the 
anterior pair deeply sulcate for the reception of the tarsus. 
Length 13-1 mm. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba, Tolé (Champion). 
Two specimens, the one with a pallid head (from Tolé) 
presumably a male. The elytral punctuation is exces- 
sively minute and scattered in this insect. The general 
shape is that of C. erythrodera, Gorh.
