impressed along the middle, and at the hind margin on each side of the impression 
there is a black tuft of very short pubescence; the terminal segment bears a very long, 
rather narrow notch. 
This insect is readily distinguished from the allied species by the longer elytra. 
Inthocharis biseriata, Er., is no doubt closely allied, but the description cannot apply 
to our species. The Amazonian L. discedens, Sharp, is also very close, but is smaller 
and has shorter elytra. 
A small series only was secured of this species. 
2. Stilomedon strigicollis. 
Subdepressus, ferrugineus, capite prothoraceque piceo-ferrugineis, densissime punctatus; prothorace fortiter 
transverso, densissime strigoso-punctato ; elytris sat nitidis, crebre punctatis, punctis seriatis vix per- 
spicuis. 
Long. 4-5 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Teapa (Pilate); British Honpuras, Belize (Blancaneaur); GuaTEMa.a, 
El Tumbador, Cerro Zunil 4000 to 5000 feet, El Reposo, Cahabon (Ohampion) ; Panama, 
David, Bugaba, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
Though very similar at first sight to S. triseriatus, this insect cannot be confounded 
therewith, the thorax being strigose, with the basal punctures scarcely perceptible, the 
elytra shining, much shorter, with the serial punctures almost imperceptible. The 
male characters consist only of a feeble emargination of the hind margin of the last 
ventral plate. 
The two Mexican exponents are from Chevrolat’s collection, where they were ticketed 
“Lithocharis cribrata, Fauvel, ined.”; they form a variety of smaller size, with smaller 
and rather more coarsely sculptured head; the three examples from Belize agree with 
them. 
S. strigicollis has not been found in numbers, but I have examined about thirty 
examples. 
8. Stilomedon connexus. 
Lithocharis connexa, Sharp, Trans, Ent. Soc. Lond. 1876, p. 254°, 
Inthocharis convexa, Sharp, |. c. p. 262 (errore typog.). 
Hab. Panama, David, Bugaba (Champion).—Sourn America, Amazons |. 
I wrote the name of this species as connewa, and it is so styled on p. 254 of the 
volume above quoted, but at the commencement of the description the printer changed 
it to convera, and this error escaped my observation: as converus is a bad trivial 
designation for this species, it will be better to use the word connexus, which is 
sufficiently certified by the first of the two quotations cited. 
Mr. Champion met with this insect in abundance at David, but only one individual 
was found at Bugaba.
