5. Phlceoxena megalops. (Tab. VII. fig. 11.) 



P. undatce similis, sed differt capite latiore oculisque magnis prominentibus ; quam P. picta magis oblonga, 

 nigra velutina opaca, antennis articulis 3 basalibus pedibusque (tibiis extus f uscis exceptis) rufo-testaceis ; 

 elytris fasciis valde unclulatis duabus (medio apud suturam conjunctis) marginem attingentibus, anteriore 

 sine lineis curvatis, fulvis ; thorace fere sicut in P. undata late cordato postice valde sinuato-angustato, 

 angulis acutis, toto nigro ; elytris interstitiis plus minusve convexis. 



Long. 2^ lin. (5 millim.).

Var. P. chiriquina : differt thorace fulvo nigro-maculato, signaturisque elytrorum anterioribus in fasciam 

 latam congestis ; antennis omnino fulvis.

This species bridges over the difference between the Phleeoxence typicce and the 

 P. spuricB of Chaudoir, the head being nearly as broad and the eyes as voluminous as 

 in P. geniculata of the latter section.

Compared with a specimen of P. signata from South Carolina, I find no constant 

 difference between it and the Guatemala insect which Mr. Champion has sent home in 







abundance, the convexity of 



elytral interstices and the
