being carried backwards there towards the apex, and equal in breadth to half the 
length of the elytra. 
33. Clerus signatus. 
Clerus signatus, Klug, Abhandl. Ak. Berl. 1841, p. 301'. 
Clerus bisignatus (Dej.), Spin. Mon. i. p. 272, t. 23. fig. 5%. 
Hab. Muxtco!2, Capulalpam(Sallé), Parada (Boucard, coll. Sallé), Jalapa (Hoge). 
Quite distinct from C. vulneratus. The central interrupted fascia is pale yellow, 
much narrower on the margin, widened to about equal width near the suture, but con- 
stricted in the middle. The elytra are greenish or faintly brassy. 
I have one specimen of this from Dr. Baden, which I believe is from Mexico. It 
agrees very well with Spinola’s figure and with Klug’s description. 
34. Clerus hogei. 
Niger, nitidus; capite crebre subtiliter punctato ; prothorace elytrorum fere latitudine, subgloboso ; elytris basi 
fortiter rugose punctatis, substrigosis, fascia lata ad suturam interrupta ante medium sita, sanguinea. 
Long. 8 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Cerro de Plumas (Hége). 
The blood-red lateral spot or fascia in this species is quite differently placed, and of 
a different form, from that in C. vulneratus : it commences just below the shoulder ; and 
its hind margin is in the middle of the margin of the elytra, and is carried straight 
inwards; the front margin is rounded. The rugosity of the basal two thirds of the 
elytra is also a good distinguishing character. 
Although there is only one specimen of this insect, 1 have no doubt it will be easily 
recognized. 
35. Clerus venator. 
Clerus venator, Chevr. Rev. et Mag. Zool. 1843, p. 18. 
Hab. Mexico, Cordova (Sallé). 
A doubtful species. Certainly the exponent of it in Sallé’s collection is a distinct 
species from any I have seen; but it does not belong to the C. mexicanus group, not 
having any basal tubercles. It agrees fairly well with the figure in Spinola, t. 23. fig. 2, 
the pale apex, as there shown, representing pubescence alone. 
The synonymy given by Chevrolat himself (Rev. et Mag. de Zool. 1874, p. 10) needs 
corroboration.
