The purple-coppery coloured form of this species to which the single example known 









describe! belonged, appear 



eeptional, as the great majority of 



bv Herr Hoge are brassy in colour, coppery only on the sides of th 



elytra.

14. Calleida misella. 



Callida misella, Chaudoir, Monogr. des Callidides, p. 26 \ 



Hob. Mexico, Toxpam 1 , Cordova (Salle, Hoge), Oaxaca (Hoge) 





Among the numerous examples of this species I 



examined, only one, namelv 



that referred to above from Oaxaca, answers to Chaudoir's description with regard to th 

 fractions of the interrupted strise of the elytra not being surrounded by excavations; 



all 



the others, including those from M. Salle, who supplied the describer with his specimens 

 have elytra almost as uneven on the surface as in C. lacunosa.
