Paromalus tejonicus, Horn, Proc. Am. Phil. Soe. xiii. p. 309 (1878) '. 
Hab. Nortu America, California !—Mexico (Deyrolle). 
17. Carcinops viridicollis. 
Carcinops viridicollis, Mars. Monogr. in Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1855, p. 96, t. 8. no. xxii. fig. 9*. 
Hab. Mexico, Northern Sonora (Morrison), Jacale (Sallé), Mirador (Hége); Gua- 
TEMALA, near the city, Capetillo, Calderas, Zapote, Balheu, Purula (Champion). 
This insect is apparently common in Guatemala. Examples received from the late 
Mr. Morrison bear the name of Paromalus mimeticus, but this species has the fifth dorsal 
stria abbreviated.

19. Carcinops eximia, sp.n. (Tab. V. fig. 23.) 
Ovalis, perconvexa, supra seneo-viridis, nitida; antennis pedibusque piceis, tarsis flavis; fronte punctulata, 
marginata; pronoto parce punctulato, punctis grossis intermixtis, stria integra; elytris apice punctis, 
striis validis, crenatis, dorsalibus 1-3" integris, 4° et 5* apice abbreviatis, antice conjunctis, suturali 
punctorum brevi; propygidio pygidioque parce et equaliter punctulatis; prosterno bistriato; mesosterno 
sinuato marginatoque; tibiis anticis subdilatatis, bidentatis, mediis bispinosis. Long. 13 millim. 
Hab. Guatemaua, Las Mercedes 3000 feet (Champion). 
This little insect belongs to the same section of the genus as C. cuprina, Mars., being 
convex, with the mesosternum somewhat broadly marginate. The fifth elytral stria is 
straight, and in some lights is apparently abbreviated at the base; but at this interval 
the stria is very fine, and is really joined to the fourth, which is bent over to meet it. 
Unique. 
PAROMALUS. 
Paromalus, Erichson, in Klug’s Jahrb. der Ins. 1834, p. 167. 
Nearly 100 species of this genus have been described and probably half as many 
again exist unnamed in collections. 
The genus is very widely distributed, but is more numerously represented in Tropical 
America than elsewhere. . 
Most of the species are found under the bark of trees, but some of the convex forms 
which inhabit warm countries are found beneath stones or dead leaves where there is 
fungal growth. The characters of the species are often obscure owing to the absence
