7. Calleida lsetipennis. 



Calleida latipennis, Bates, Proc. Zool. Soc. 1878, p. 608 \ 



" Subgracilis, castaneo-rufa, elytris (epipleuris exceptis) aurato-seneis ; capite angusto, post oculos gradatim 

 angustato baud tumido, collo distincto ; thorace quadrato-cordato, postice leviter sinuatim angustato, 

 angulis posticis subrectis ; elytris apice leviter sinuatim truncatis, angulis externis valde rotundatis, punc- 

 tulato-striatis, interstitiis planis.

Hab. Nicaragua, Chontales (Belt, Janson l ). 



Nearest allied to C. lampra, but much smaller, and the elytra narrower, approaching 



more nearly the form of C. aeruginosa 



of the anterior dis- 



coidal depression ; the striae are extremely fine, though sharply impressed. The two 



punctures 



inconspicuous ; and the 



situated a little before the middle. The thorax has only very slight traces of 

 rugae ; its sides are explanated and reflexed as in the allied species. 



8. Calleida tetrapora. (Tab.ix. fig. 13 



C. simili et C. ceruginosce proxime affinis, sed longior et gracilior elytrisque cupreo-auratis nitidissimis. Castaneo- 

 fusca seneo-tincta, antennis (articulis 3 basalibus exceptis), palpis (apice pallidis) pedibusque nigro-fuscis, 

 tibiis magis ruf escenti-piceis ; fronte juxta oculum utrinque acute uniplicata ;' thorace subelongato quadrato, 

 antice modice rotundato et usque ad collum angustato, postice paullo (vix sinuatim) angustato, angulis 

 rectis, lateribus sat late explanatis rufescentibus, dorso laevi ; elytris oblongis, sublinearibus subtilissime 

 et integriter punctulato-striatis, interstitiis planis, tertii punctis rotundatis prof undis umbilicatis ; epi- 

 pleuris castaneis. 



Long. 3f lin. (8 millim.). c? $ . 



Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 



— 



Larger and relatively longer both in thorax and elytra than C. ceruginosa, and 



— 



differing also in colours and in the fine, continuous, minutely and regularly punctured 

 striae. It is, however, very closely allied to that species ; and the male has a similar 



k 



distinct notch in the apical margin of the anal ventral segment. 



9. Calleida iffnobilis. 



C. tetraporce proxime affinis, differt tantum elytris profundius striatis punctisque interstitii tertii parvis minus 

 impressis posteriore in medio interstitio sito. Elongato-sublinearis, castaneo-fusca seneo-nitens, interdum 

 rufescens ; thorace sicut in C. tetraporce elongato postice magis sinuato ; elytris obscurius fuseo-cupreis,
