CYMATODERA. 133 
8. Cymatodera lunulata. 
Ferrugineo-brunnea, subtus picea, parce pubescens; prothorace subtilius punctato; elytris fortius punctato- 
striatis, striis fere integris, singulis ultra medium lunula fusca ad suturam conjuncta notatis ; elytris pro- 
thorace plus quam duplo latioribus, apicibus integris rotundatis. Long. 9-11 millim. 
Hab. GuatemaLa, San Gerdnimo (Champion). 
The head in this species is small, being only wider than the prothorax by reason of 
the eyes; it is thickly clothed with a coarse depressed pubescence, and is thickly punc- 
tured at the base. The antenne are rusty red, as long as the head and thorax ; the 
intermediate joints are not much longer than wide, the apical one as long as the two 
preceding it. The thorax is very finely punctured and wrinkled in the middle; it is 
rather strongly constricted below the middle, and is as wide at the base as in front. 
The elytra are a little ovate and rather depressed ; the striz commence as series of 
strong and closely packed punctures, and are in places crenate ; towards the apex the 
punctures vanish, but the striz continue, the sutural ones uniting with the lateral (as 
is the mode in this genus); but the apex itself only appears irregularly punctured. 
The markings are confined to the central lunulate fascia, which has its concave side 
towards the base, and is faintly margined with paler on that side. The abdomen is 
piceous; but each segment is spotted on the side with rusty red. 
A very considerable series of specimens were taken at San Gerénimo. 
9. Cymatodera angulifera. 
Oblongo-ovata, picea, elytris pallide ferrugineis nitidis, basi fasciisque tribus (mediana angulata, apicali liturata) 
fuscis, profunde punctato-striatis, punctis oblongis, paucis, subzequidistantibus, ad apicem evanescentibus ; 
pedibus ferrugineis, femoribus fuscis. Long. 7-9 millim. 
Hab. Guatemata, Dueiias (Champion). 
At first sight hard to distinguish from C. dunulata, and allied to it in several of its 
characters ; it is, however, less pubescent, and, besides the dark base, three wavy fascias 
are rather distinct. The central one is angulated on the centre of each elytron towards 
the base, and is somewhat M-shaped; from the central point of the M the suture is 
dark till it joins a subapical oblique fascia, which nearly meets the central one on the 
margin. The subapical fascia is seldom apparent in C. lunulata; the abdomen is 
similarly spotted. A series of this species were taken at Dueiias, all agreeing pretty 
closely ; the colour of the underside and femora varies in depth from rusty red to 
pitchy. 
10. Cymatodera geniculata. 
Cymatodera geniculata, Chevr. Rev. et Mag. Zool. 1874, p. 31’. 
Hab. Guatemata!; Nicaragua (Sallé). 
The type from Guatemala is before me: the punctures are large roundish pits, in
