15. Lebia croceicollis. (Tab. x. fig. 13.) 



L.pumilce affinis, quoad formam L. xanthogonce simillima, sed: differt colore nigro (capite elytrisque sub- 

 senescentibus), palpis nigro-fuscis, antennarnm articulis 3| basalibus tboraceque croceis, pedibus piceo- 

 fuseis, femoribus 4 anticis basi pallidis ; capite ovato, lsevissimo, post oculos gradatim rotundato-angustato ; 

 thorace valde transverso, postice paullulum angustato, angulis posticis paullo exstantibus, margine lateral! 



angusto subrecto ; elytris obsolete punctulato-striatis ; tarsis bilobatis.

Var. Femora et tibise pallide testacea, elytrorumque interstitia paullulum convexa 



Long. 4| millim. 



Hab. Guatemala, San Geronimo (Champion). 



One example only. 



16. Lebia goniessa. (Tab. X. fig. 12.) 



Parva, breviter ovata, convexa, nigra, nitida ; capite, thorace, antennarum articulis 4 basalibus (caeteris fuscis) 

 pedibusque fulvo-rufis, femoribus posticis dimidio basali tibiisque dimidio apicaK ssepissime nigro-fuscis ; 

 capite ovato l^evissimo ; thorace vix transverso trapezoideo (postice dilatato), margine recto antice angusto 

 postice valde dilatato angulisque retrorsum productis, margine basali prope angulos paullo retrorsum 

 obliquo ; elytris subtilissime punctulato-striatis ; tarsis bilobatis. 



Lpng. 3|-4 millim. 



k 



Hah. Guatemala, San Geronimo (Champion). 



Belongs to the viridis group, and allied to L. agnata ; differing from other species 

 with red head and thorax in the shape of the hind thoracic angles, which are produced 

 backward almost as in L. ccelina. The head is perfectly free from striae ; and the striae 



of the elytra are scarcely impressed, alth 



ghtly convex. The 



lytra with margins and epipleurae and the abdomen are deep black. The two punc- 

 ures of the third interstice are small, but very distinct, and situated in the third stria. 



17. Lebia microtes. 



L. goniessce quam maxime- similis et affinis, sed thoracis angulis posticis rectis nee retrorsum productis, fronteque 



striato ; Parva, nigra, nitida, capite, antennis, thorace et pedibus rufo-fulvis, palpis nigris ; capite ovato, 

 fronte prtecipue prope oculos subtiliter pluristrigoso ; thorace valde transverso postice, haud dilatato, angulis 

 posticis rectis ibique margine explanato-reflexo, margine basali prope angulos recto ; elytris breviter ovatis, 

 striis distinctius et acutius impressis. 



Long. 3 millim. 



Hab. Guatemala, Panima, Chacoj, Aceituno, Volcan de Atitlan (Champion). 



It is difficult to believe this is more than a local modification of L. goniessa ; the 

 differences of form and sculpture, however, indicated in the above diagnosis 



appear
