AGEILUS. Ill 



Hab. Mexico, Juquila (Salle), Tehuantepec (Sumichrast) ; Panama, Caldera 1200 feet 

 (Champion). 



The head is very closely and rather strongly punctured, longitudinally impressed for 

 its whole length. The thorax is rather unusually rounded at the sides ; convex, trans- 

 versely striolate and punctured, the punctures not distinct in front; there is a small 

 indistinct impression at the base ; the sides are impressed and the impression is filled 

 with yellow pubescence. The elytra are distinctly punctured with cuneiform 

 punctures which are not crowded together ; the subcosta is fairly well marked, sinuous 

 at the sides of the yellow spots ; the yellow spots are elongate-ovate — the first oblique, 

 in the basal impression, the second just before the middle, the third halfway between 

 the second and the apex ; the apex of each elytron is deeply excised, leaving a short 

 tooth (generally bifid) at the suture, and a rather longer acute spine beyond the middle, 

 outside which there are one or two small teeth. The prosternal chin-piece is slightly 

 arcuate. The prosternum is closely and finely punctured and pubescent in the male, 

 more strongly rugose and bare in the female ; the intercoxal process is obliquely 

 narrowed at the apex. The episterna, the sides of the metathorax, the posterior coxae, 

 a spot on the upper margin and at the sides of the basal segment of the abdomen, and 

 a spot at the side of the second segment are deep yellow. The abdomen is finely 

 punctured, with a narrow elongate finely punctured impression in the middle of the 

 true basal segment ; the sides and apex are nearly black ; the lateral carina is strongly 

 angular behind the middle. 



117. Agrilus croceomaculatus. (Tab. VI. figg. 23, 23 a.) 



Prsecedenti affinis et similis, differt tamen elytrorum dente apicali exteriore majore, crassiore. 

 Long. 4^ Hn. 



Hab. Guatemala, Paraiso 300 feet (Champion). 



This species is extremely like the preceding, but differs in the shape of the apex 

 of the elytra : the sutural tooth is more acute and a little longer, the emargination 

 deeper and narrower, and the external tooth is formed by a prolongation of the exterior 

 angle of the elytron, its outer margin being denticulate (fig. 23 a). 



118. Agrilus croceovittatus. 



A. ocanihonoto affinis et similis, differt tamen elytris vitta suturali lata crocea, dentibus apicalibus quatuor 



subsequalibus. 

 Long. 4 lin. 



Hab. Guatemala, Zapote (Champion) ; Nicaeagua, Chontales (Belt). 



This species is very like A. xanthonotus, but is rather smaller and has the spots on 

 the elytra replaced by a broad stripe.
