MEGALOPS. 671 
6. Megalops modestus. 
Niger, nitidus, elytris basi apiceque testaceo-signatis ; antennis pedibusque flavis, femoribus posterioribus 
extrorsum fuscescentibus ; prothorace minus sulcato et punctato. 
Long. 34 millim. . 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
Head similar to that of VW. cruciger. Thorax with the anterior margin picescent, 
with a slender punctate groove behind this, and another fine groove across the middle, 
and a slight depression in front of the base; besides this with only a few punctures. 
Elytra with a testaceous spot close to the shoulder, and the hind margin testaceous 
for a great part of its width, this colour being more extensive near the suture; each 
with a series of three punctures and one or two punctures adjacent to it. Club of the 
antennz in the male not in itself very elongate, but adorned with long sete. Unique. 
7. Megalops ineptus. 
Niger, nitidus, elytris fascia magna testacea in medio ad marginem posteriorem descendente; antennis pedi- 
busque flavis; prothorace parce punctato, sulcato, sulcis intermediis in medio late interruptis ; elytro 
singulo seriebus punctorum duobus abbreviatis. 
Long. 32 millim. 
Hab. GuateMALa, Cerro Zunil (Champion). 
This species differs from VW. cruciger in wanting the large depression on the middle 
of the thorax, and also in the fact that the yellow colour on the wing-cases does not, 
at the suture, extend forwards towards the scutellum. Although we have received only 
one female, I think it indicates a different species. 
8. Megalops integer. (Tab. XVII. fig. 19.) 
Niger, nitidus, elytris fascia magna ad suturam interrupta testacea; antennis pedibusque flavis; capite pro- 
thoraceque haud numerose punctatis, hoc suleato; elytris tantum ad basin punctis impressis. 
Long. 33 millim. 
Hab. Guatemaa, Cerro Zunil 4000 to 5000 feet (Champion). 
Eyes rather small. Head with only a few punctures. Thorax with a transverse, 
punctate groove near the front, another across the middle, and with the base depressed 
and punctate in front of the margin, and with only a few additional punctures. 
Elytra each with a large spot, extending from the outer margin to near the suture, so 
as to form an interrupted band. 
One male. In this sex the terminal joint of the antenne is very elongate, not 
acuminate as in M. cruciger, but gently rounded at the apex. In this example 
there is a single puncture on the right elytron, very near the shoulder, but none on 
the left.
