PHANOLINUS. 367 
Five individuals have been found, apparently all at different spots; although by no 
means agreeing absolutely in the shades of colour, the above description applies to each 
of them. Of the variety from Guatemala only one example has been obtained; and 
although it differs markedly in colour (resembling in this respect P. gravidus), there are 
not sufficient distinctions in other respects to warrant its being considered distinct at 
present. 
8. Phanolinus longulus. 
Nigro-viridulus ; capite thoraceque viridibus fulgidis, crebre punctatis, hoc seriebus dorsalibus circiter 1&-punc- 
tatis ; abdomine subtiliter punctato. 
Long. 23 millim. 
Hab. Nicaragua, Chontales (Belt). 
This unique female I am unable to assign either to P. godmani or to P. punctatus, 
to each of which it has much resemblance. ‘The punctuation on the hinder portion of 
the head is numerous, and there are four fine quadrately disposed punctures near the 
front margin in the middle. The punctures of the thoracic series are more numerous 
than in any other of the species; and the lateral punctures are numerous and extend 
from the front to the base, leaving, however, the dorsal series evidently distinct. The 
hind body is but little shining. 
9. Phanolinus punctatus. 
Violaceo-viridis, sat nitidus ; capite thoraceque crebrius punctatis, hoc medio area longitudinali lavigata; abdo- 
mine crebrius punctato. 
Long. 21 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 3000 feet (Champion). 
This species is readily distinguished from others by the closer punctuation, so that 
on the thorax the dorsal series are not distinct from the lateral punctuation. 
Only two specimens have been obtained. ‘The male has a broad, but not deep, emar- 
gination on the last ventral plate. 
10. Phanolinus speciosus. (Tab. IX. fig. 9.) 
Violaceus, minus nitidus; antennis extrorsum tarsisque nigris; capite thoraceque crebre punctatis; elytris 
profunde punctatis. 
Long. 22 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Cordova (Sal/é). 
The uniform and beautiful violet-blue colour, and the surface less metallic and fulgid 
than usual, render this easily recognized; and it has the punctuation of the elytra 
rather deeper and coarser than in the other forms. The hind body is very little
