SEEEICOENIA. 181 



Eab. Mexico, Villa Lerdo in Durango {Edge). 



This is probably only a variety of A. flavopicta, in which the yellow greatly prevails 

 on the elytra. The yellow spot at the sides of the thorax is very conspicuous, and in 

 one example extends obliquely towards the disc. 



One example, which may be another variety of this species, from Villa Lerdo, 

 appears to have the thorax deformed, the posterior angles projecting and truncate. 

 This has the sides of the thorax margined with yellow, but the yellow does not reach 

 the front angles. The elytra are yellow with round blue-black spots. The prosternum 

 is decidedly more strongly punctured (fig. 14a).

Some examples have the markings reduced to two small oblique spots on each elytron ; 

 two from Colima have only one spot.
