414 TROGOSITIDZ. 
Hab. Mexico 1, Cordova, Playa Vicente, Orizaba (Sallé), Bobo, Las Vigas (Hoge). 
Reitter described this species on a single example of the female sex in Chevrolat’s 
collection. The male has a small fascicle on the submentum, and a rather numerous 
fine punctuation on the ventral plates. The species appears to occur only in one or 
two examples at a time and to be rather variable. ‘The anterior thoracic margin can 
be detected only quite at the side. One example has the elytra deeply corrugate : 
M. Léveillé tells me he has seen other individuals of different species of Temnochila in 
this condition. It is certainly a very remarkable aberration, the elytra being otherwise 
well developed. 
39. Temnochila aureola. 
Trogosita aureola, Reitter, Verh. Ver. Briinn, xiii., Abhandl., p. 38°. 
Hab. Mexico 1. 
From Reitter’s description this appears to be very similar to 7. corynthia, but the 
male has the posterior tibie dilated at the extremity. We have not received an 
example of any Temnochila possessing this character. 
40. Temnochila suturata. 
Trogosita suturata, Reitter, Verh. Ver. Brinn, xiu., Abhandl. p. 39°. 
Hab. Mexico 1.—Soutn America, Brazil !. 
This insect is green above, with a narrow stripe of purple colour along the suture 
and lateral margins of the elytra. M. Léveillé has been kind enough to send me an 
example from Minas Geraes for inspection. The form of the insect is similar to that 
of 7. corynthia, but the club of the antenna is different. We have not received 
anything at all similar in this respect, and in some other of the characters Reitter 
assigns to the species. I look upon the locality “‘ Mexico” as very doubtful. 
41. Temnochila laticollis. 
Trogosita laticollis, Reitter, Verh. Ver. Briinn, xiii., Abhandl. p. 39°. 
Hab. Mexico}. 
We have not received anything that possesses the characters assigned to this species. 
42. Temnochila festiva. 
Trogossita festiva, Serville, Encycl. Méth. x. p. 719°.

It is very doubtful whether this insect has really been found in our region.
