ADEPHAG A . 







This elegant and well-marked species, which was taken abundantly by Herr Hoge, 

 although it appears to have escaped the many years' researches of M. Salle, has in its 

 outlines a considerable resemblance to the Central -American species of JEuproctus. 





■ 









The 



ligular 



structure is that of Calleida, although the connate paraglossae extend 

 much further beyond the apex than is usual in the genus, and the tarsi are naked 

 above. 







The thor 



usual in this genus, varies much 



In extreme 









on the one hand, less rounded, and, on the other hand, much more rounded and almost 

 angulated anteriorly ; the hind angles are also more or less produced and obtuse ; but 

 in all variations it preserves the same cordate facies and the very narrow reflexed 

 lateral margin.

30. Calleida fimbriata.

i 



margineque laterali sat late explanato, dorso plus minusve strigoso. Supra castaneo-rufa, elytris margine 

 viridi-seneis, sed margine explanato ipso castaneo. 







Long. 4|-5 lin. 



Bab. Mexico, Jalapa (Hoge, Flohr).

Approaches the South-Brazilian C. cupreocincta rather closely. In colours there 



rcely 



more elongated and relatively narrower, the elyt 



more deeply striated, and the green border is more sharply denned, being nearly limited 

 to the eighth and ninth interstices. 





31. Calleida circumcincta. 



(Tab. IX. fig. 12.) 





C. fidhri iterum affinis et similis, sed differt thorace medio tan turn rotundato antice angustato postiee valde 

 sinuato, sed paullo angustato, angulis posticis subrectis apice obtusis, margine laterali late explanato- 

 reflexo, dorso acute strigoso versus marginem utrinque longitudinaliter obtuse plicato. Rufo-testacea, 

 elytris vitta marginali interstitia 8 m et 9 m solum tegente, apice suturam haud attingente, basi fere usque 

 ad scutellum continuata, leete viridi-aenea, dorso punctulato-striatis, interstitiis subconvexis, tertii puncto 

 anteriore versus basin sito ; antennis ab articulo 4° apice palpisque subinfuscatis. 



Long. 4| lin. 



Rah. Mexico, Jalapa (Hoge). 



Similar in colours to the two preceding and to C. cupreocincta, but very distinct from 

 all the allied species in the shape of the thorax, which is similar to that of C. punc- 



r 



tulata, but narrower. The elytra are broadly oblong, twice the width of the thorax ; 

 and the marginal stripe is unusually well denned, or sharply contrasted with the 

 ground-colour, being limited to the eighth and ninth interstices (leaving the explanated 

 margin red) and very little broader at the shoulders, occupying only the extreme base 

 of the other interstices to the scutellar striole. 



The female has on each side of the anal segment a row of six or seven small setiferous 

 punctures arranged in line.
