An example from Panama resembles closely a specimen from Caraccas, sent me by 

 M. Bene Oberthur. 







The four preceding species form, with others from various parts of Tropical America, 

 a natural group, one of the chief characteristics of which is the convex elytra.

81. Lebia heraldica. 







Oblonga, flavo-testacea, elytris nigris, vitta utrinque flava a basi (imprimis per interstitium quintum, deinde 

 interstit. 4 m et 3 m ) usque ad fasciam subapicalem flavam extensa, marginibus angustis flavis, antennis 

 articulis 5 -ll m (et 4° apice) fuscis ; capite fere lsevi ; thorace late trans verso, antice rotundato-dilatato, 

 postice sat angustato, lateribus late explanato-reflexis, lobo basali subelongato quadrato, dorso lsevi;

Does not fit well in any of the subsections of Chaudoir's Monograph; but it is 



doubtless allied to the species of the L. variegata group.
