54 SEEEICOENIA. 



Ilab. Panama, Taboga I. (Champion). 



The thorax has a small dark green spot at the middle of the base ; the smooth 

 transverse spaces between the striolse are crossed by numerous short, fine striae ; the 

 posterior ridge is smooth, nearly straight, directed outwards and keeping close to the 

 side. The elytra are flattened on the back, with scarcely any subcosta ; the suture is 

 only raised at the apex ; each elytron has a pale golden spot in the basal impression, a 

 small one before the middle, and an elongate one behind the middle. On the underside 

 are the following pure white pubescent marks : a line on the prothoracic episterna ; 

 a narrow line on the metathoracic episterna ; a broad stripe on the side of the meta- 

 sternum ; a small dot at some distance from the side of the basal abdominal segment ; 

 and a spot at the side of each of the three apical segments. The mesothoracic episterna 

 and the posterior coxae are more or less clothed with white. There is a pale yellow spot 

 on the upper margin of the basal segment of the abdomen, and at this point the 

 lateral carina is slightly bent at an angle. The prosternal chin-piece is rounded. The 

 presternum is sparsely punctured ; the intercoxal process is closely punctured, finely 

 margined laterally, a little widened behind the coxae, and then suddenly narrowed 

 obliquely, with a narrow central process. 



7. Paradomorphus latevittatus. 



Elongatus, subparallelus, cyan ens, parum nitidus ; elytris purpurascentibus, vitta suturali lata rufo-ochracea 



(basi apiceque baud attingente) ornatis ; pectoris lateribus pube rufo-ocbracea vcstitis ; abdomine seneo. 

 Long. 4j lin. 



Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 



The head is closely rugose ; in front it is longitudinally and rather widely sulcate, 

 with a little whitish pubescence above the clypeus. The antennae are very short. The 

 thorax is transversely, rather finely striolate, and finely punctured, and impressed at the 

 sides ; the posterior ridge is distinct, turned outwards and downwards to meet the margin 

 just in front of the middle. The elytra are not much attenuated at the apex (where 

 they are separately obtusely rounded and finely denticulate) ; the surface is closely 

 asperate; the subcosta is not strongly marked. The prosternal chin-piece is rather 

 straight in front, with a slight indication of a notch in the middle. The prosternum 

 is sparsely pubescent, and the pubescence is very short ; rather closely and roughly 

 punctured ; the intercoxal process is flat, with the lateral margins raised and smooth, 

 abruptly constricted at the apex. The sides of the metasternum, the posterior half of 

 the episterna, the posterior coxae, the upper lateral margin of the abdomen, and a spot 

 at the side of the second segment are covered with reddish-yellow pubescence. The 

 episterna are closely punctured, with the inner margin smooth. The abdomen is finely 

 and not very closely punctured, except at the base of the basal segment, where the 

 punctuation is very dense ; the lateral carina is very distinctly sinuous at about the middle.
