158 MALACODERMATA. 
less than a third at the base red, closely and confluently punctured, only slightly tumid 
on each side of the scutellum; the latter is black. A wide black fascia separates this 
part from the central fascia, which is of the shape of, and placed much as, the fascia in 
C. mexicanus and the allied species. The apex is clothed with grey hairs, but is black 
beneath them. The legs and underside are black, with the exception of the apex of 
the abdomen, which is red. 
A single specimen is all that has been sent. 
30. Clerus recurvatus. (Tab. VIII. fig. 17.) 
Niger, nitidulus; capite prothoraceque nigro-pilosellis; elytris macula basali prope scutellum fasciaque lunata 
ad suturam fortiter recurvata flavis, apice cinereo-pubescente. Long. 73 millim. 
Hab. Guatemata (coll. Sallé). 
Rather densely pilose, very finely punctured, entirely black, except the markings on 
the elytra, the latter scarcely punctured ; a yellow spot at the base a little raised and 
shining, pear-shaped, with its apex away from the base. The fascia is wide on the 
margin, as nearly as possible in the middle, but strongly reflexed, and not touching the 
suture. ‘There is a subapical fascia of cinereous down, and the suture at the apex is 
downy. 
This species appears to me to approach C. letus, Klug, judging from his description. 
A single specimen is all that I have seen.

This was not recognized by Spinola; M. Chevrolat did not know it; nor have I been 
able positively to identify any species with it. There is, however, a specimen in Sallé’s 
collection, No. 562, which I think may be it, resembling C. recurvatus, but with the 
marking smaller and the fascia less arcuate, not turning down the suture. 
This specimen is from Tuxtla. 
32. Clerus vulneratus. 
Clerus vulneratus, Klug, loc. cit. p. 802}. 
Hab. Mexico}, Puebla (Sallé), Parada (Boucard, coll. Sallé). 
The specimens of this from Puebla are named “ vulneratus, Klug,” in Sallé’s collec- 
tion, while those from Parada are labelled “ signatus, Klug.” Both are referable to 
one species, and agree very nearly with the description of the former; I refer a different 
species to the latter. The Puebla specimens have the ground-colour of the elytra 
bluish, the Parada ones coppery. The blood-red fascia is very broad on the margin,
