spots; but in all, except the remarkable variety from Chiriqui, the posterior black band 
is entire or not quite touching the outer margin. | 
Although this insect has somewhat the facies of Cleronomus amenus, I do not think 
it is more than a mere resemblance ; yet it is very unlike the general appearance of the 
present genus.

Apparently a species belonging to the group which follows—black, shining insects 
with little pubescence and narrower and more cylindrical thoraces than in the preceding 
species. This species is not, however, included by Chevrolat in the catalogue of species 
in his collection (Rev. et Mag. Zool. 1874, p. 10); and I have not seen it.

A series of specimens were taken by Hoge; there were four in Sallé’s collection ; and 
I have received it from M. Chevyrolat.

This in colour resembles the preceding, but is quite different in form. The elytra 
are not compressed at the sides nor arched behind, as in C. scutellaris; and the thorax 
is much wider in front. The elytra have three linear spots of white hairs arranged in 
a fascia in the middle. It is, of course, not a Tillws. One specimen in Sallé’s collec- 
tion is thus named, and agrees with Chevrolat’s description. | |
