21. Clerus spinole. 
Clerus spinole, Lec. Proc. Ac. Phil. vi. p. 280. 
Hab. Mexico (coll. Gorham). 
This fine species is not in any of the recent collections from Mexico, nor in Sallé’s ; 
there is a specimen, however, in my own, obtained from that of W. W. Saunders. 
22. Clerus pictus. (Tab. VIII. fig. 7.) 
Niger, nitidus, elongato-ovalis ; elytris obsolete crebre punctatis, substriatis, medio latioribus, singulis maculis 
tribus, scilicet vitta brevi basali, macula mediana laterali transversa, alteraque pone medium suture pro- 
piore albido-flavescentibus, apice tenuissime cinereo-pubescente. Long. 10 millim. 
Hab. Guatemata, San Gerdénimo (Champion). 
A single specimen only captured. 
23. Clerus decussatus. 
Clerus decussatus, Klug, Abhandl. Ak. Berl. p. 296°.

Hab. Muxico 1? (coll. Gorh. &c.), Cuernavaca (Sallé), Guanajuato (Duges, coll. Sallé). 
Var, Elytris fascia prima albida prope suturam interrupta. 
Clerus decussatus, Spin. Atlas, t. 25. f. 1. 
Clerus ornatus (Dup.), Spin. Mon. i. p. 257, t. 25. f. 2. 
Hab. Mexico, Milpas (Forrer), Juquila (Boucard, coll. Sallé), Cerro de Plumas (Hége). 
I have no hesitation in uniting both the forms cited above as one species; and they 
are so placed in Sallé’s collection. The fig. 1 in Spinola appears to have been taken 
from one of this variety, although, in the description of C. hopfneri, there is a note 
(25, p. 257) to the effect that the interruption of the fascia is too pronounced in the 
figure. ‘Two of the specimens from Milpas have the elytra with the base black as well 
as the apical half, while one has it red as usual. 
The black head and legs will always separate it from the following species. 
24. Clerus rutilus. 
Elongatus, antice angustior, ferrugineo-rufus, subopacus ; elytris postice nigricantibus, fascia mediana subrecta, 
interrupta, ad suturam latiore, alteraque ante apicem albidis, sutura rufescente ; abdomine obscuro. Long. 
7-10 millim. 
Hab. Muxico, Cerro de Plumas (Hége). 
Tip of the mandibles black; head with the antenne and palpi, thorax, breast, and 
one third of the base of the elytra dull brick-red. The thorax is not so wide as in 
C. decussatus ; and the puncturing is more close. The elytra are closely and confluently 
punctured in their basal half; they commence to be black before the first fascia: the 
Jatter is not recurved at the suture as in either C. decussatus or C. salvini, but is thick-
