394 TROGOSITID. 
Mas, area submentali dense punctata, pubescente, medio fascicula latissima pilorum agelutinatorum; area 
interoculari opaca; abdomine irregulariter punctato, punctis majoribus sparsis, punctis adjectis haud 
numerosis, minus subtilibus. 
Fem., area submentali fortiter punctata, tenuiter pubescente ; abdomine segmento ultimo ventrali in medio ad 
apicem late vage elevato. 
Hab. British Honpuras (Blancaneaur); Nicaracua, Chontales (Janson, Belt); 
Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
Var.? Minor (long. 73 millim.), magis depressa, colore viridi-aurato. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
The peculiar form of the front tibie distinguishes this species from all others yet 
found in our region except the following, which is quite different in colour. 
The species appears to be rare, as we have received only eight examples of it; of 
these three are males: as they come from widely-separated localities, and differ 
somewhat from one another, 1 think it possible that more ample material may prove 
that Iam including three or even four species under the name of T. digitata. ‘The 
type specimens are the large form found at Chontales by Janson, one of which was 
received by me many years ago. The small variety specially mentioned above is pretty 
certainly distinct, though, as we have received only a single specimen of the female 
sex, I do not so treat it at present. 
No mention is made by previous writers of any species of Zemnochila possessing such 
a form of front tibia as that found in 7. digitata. 
2. Temnochila leveillei, sp.n. (Tab. XIII. fig. 4.) 
Minus elongata, transversim convexa, nigricans, supra purpureo-aurata, capite enescente, prothoracis lateribus 
argute leteque viridescentibus; capite prothoraceque angustis, hoc subtilius marginato, parce subtiliusque 
punctato; elytris obsolete seriatim punctatis. 
Long. 7-10 millim. 
Mas, area submentali medio fasciculo lato armata; abdomine segmentis 2°-4™ fere ubique punctis adjectis 
numerosis, marginibus posterioribus levigatis, subincrassatis. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
This is one of the most distinct species of the genus ; the comparatively narrow head 
and thorax, the short antenne, the remarkable coloration, and the structure of the 
front tibiee will allow it to be easily identified. There is no margin on the prosternum 
behind the coxz. The groove on the head is of the flat peculiar form seen in 7’. digi- 
tata. The submental area is unusually small, and in the female is without positive 
characters. The viridescent colour at the sides of the thorax is remarkably sharply 
defined from the ground-colour, and just at the line of junction there is an extremely 
delicate line of darker colour. 
We have received eight specimens of this interesting Temnochila. I have named it 
in honour of M. Léveillé, who has kindly assisted me by examining a series of the 
Central-American species of Temnochila.
