42. Lebia arietis. (Tab. XI. fig. 4.) 



L. centromaculatce proxime affinis et similis ; thoraee ejusdem formae, sed elytris fascia tenui valde angulata 



(apud suturam haud maculam efficiente) suturaque antice nigra usque ad scutellum. 

 Long. 5 1 millim.

Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 



The thorax is of the same form as in L. centromaculata, i. e. much rounded from 



■ 



the anterior angles, and thence slightly narrowed in nearly a straight line to the base ; 



■ 



but the black mark of the elytra in all the very numerous examples differs constantly 

 in not consisting of a rhomboidal spot on the suture with a slender angular branch on 









each side, but forming an angular line or fascia of equal width throughout, the pale 

 ground-colour at the suture behind indenting nearly always the black mark. The elytra 







also seem more deeply striated, the stria? alveolated and darker than the interstices. 





43. Lebia chelostigma. (Tab. XI. fig. 5.) 



Fulvo-testacea, elytris macula communi pone medium utrinque ramum rectum antrorsum obliquum emittente, 

 suturaque fere usque ad scutellum, nigris ; capite antice, cum mandibulis et maxillis elongato, collo angusto, 

 oculis valde prominentibus ; antennis elongatis, gracilibus ; thoraee antice (a basi) curvatim angustato, 

 marginibus (prsecipue postice) explanato-reflexis, angulis posticis rectis, dorso subtiliter alutaceo ; elytris 

 elongato-ovatis sat convexis, profunde striatis, interstitiis convexis ; tarsorum articulo 4° bilobato. 



Long. 6-8 millim.

In the markings of the elytra similar to L. centromaculata, but differing from that 

 species much in the form of the thorax, the widest part of which is at the hind angles, 

 and the sides not being rounded outward immediately behind the anterior angles. 







■ 













es. The 

 prolongation of the anterior part of the head with the mandibles and maxillae is visible 



9 



chiefly in the larger examples and in the males.
