19. Drapetes sanguinicollis. 



Drapetes sanguinicollis, de Bonv. Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. I860, p. 361, t. 8. fig. 7 \ 

 Hab. Mexico 1 . 



Very close to D. ruficollis, and from the description differs only in its somewhat more 

 elongate and depressed form. 



20. Drapetes nigriceps. 



Drapetes nigriceps, de Bonv. Mon. p. 84 \ 

 Hab. Mexico \ Cerro de Plumas (Edge). 



Very like B. ruficollis, but with a black head and a small piceous spot at the middle 

 of the apical and basal margins of the thorax. The elytra are more often blue-black. 



21. Drapetes punctulatus. (Tab. x. fig. 3.) 



Oblong, less convex than usual, piceous-black, feebly shining, einereo-pubescent over the entire surface ; sides 

 of thorax above and beneath broadly yellow ; antennae black : head piceous or partly ferruginous ante- 

 riorly, relatively coarsely and moderately closely punctate, interocular carina extending across the front, 

 the clypeus at the base extremely narrow • thorax but little wider at the base than long, sides feebly 

 arcuately narrowing to the apex, carina of the hind angles extending halfway to the apex and continued 

 by a smooth line very nearly to the apex, the depressed area well marked but not sharply limited in 

 front, the V-line quite distinct, surface rather closely and relatively coarsely punctate (except at the 

 depressed area, where the punctures are very fine), reddish -yellow, a triangular piceous space at the apex 

 and a larger one at the base, these united rather broadly at their apices ; elytra arcuately narrowed nearly' 

 from the base, the surface rather densely punctate, more finely than the thorax, but more coarsely at the 

 sides than at the middle, clothed with cinereous pubescence forming a broad common band from the base 

 nearly to the apex, the hairs directed transversely, lateral border and apex einereo-pubescent, the narrow 

 space between the median band and sides with brownish pubescence, supplementary marginal line distinct ; 

 prothorax beneath black, coarsely punctate and broadly yellow at the sides ; abdomen moderately coarsely 

 and closely punctate, with sparse cinereous pubescence ; legs piceous, tarsi testaceous. 



Length 3*5-4 millim. 



Hab. Panama, Bugaba, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 



This species is remarkable by the close punctuation of the entire surface as well as 

 by the well-marked pubescence. The extreme narrowness of the clypeus at the base is 

 also unusual. Three examples. 



22. Drapetes marginicollis. 



Oblong oval, piceous-black, shining, sparsely pubescent ; hairs of the elytra seriately placed ; thorax beneath 

 entirely, above indefinitely, yellow at the sides, more widely in front; antennae flavo-testaceous : head 

 yellowish in front, piceous along the occiput, moderately coarsely, not closely punctate • thorax nearly 

 one third wider at the base than long, sides gradually arcuate to the front, disc moderately punctate (not 

 closely), gradually more finely to base, the basal depression not at all distinct ; elytra striately punctate, 

 the punctures not distant, submarginal stria distinct : body beneath piceous-black ; abdomen moderately 

 closely punctate ; presternum quadristriate, the outer striae short and very close to the inner ; legs flavo- 

 testaceous. 



Length 25 millim.
