180 | MALACODERMATA. 
one of which is shown in the figure 21 of Tab. IX. J. mericana has always three 
interstices slightly costate; the puncturing between these is very thick and nowhere in 
rows, as it is over the whole elytra; the shoulders and the thorax in that species have 
some close golden sericeous pubescence: in all these respects, as well as in the black 
sides of the thorax, the variety alluded to agrees with C. mexicana, and not with the 
species now described. The present species agrees more nearly with J. mitella, Gorh., 
a South-American insect, and belongs to the same section of the table in Trans. Ent. 
Soc. 1877, p. 409. 
4. Ichnea religiosa. (Tab. IX. fig. 20.) 
Ichnea religiosa, Chev. Rev. et Mag. Zool. 1874, p. 72*. 
Hab. Mexico, Oaxaca 1, Yolotepec (Sal/é) ; Guatemata, San Gerénimo (Champion). 
The only apparent difference between this and males of /. mewicana is that the elytra 
are entirely black; and I think it is only a variety of that species. I have not, however, 
seen females, or at least not specimens with the elytra widened behind, of this form. 
The figure is of a specimen from Yolotepec. 
5. Ichnea disjuncta. (Tab. IX. figg. 23, var. 24.) 
Ichnea disjuncta, Gorh. Trans. Ent. Soc. 1877, p. 411°. 
Hab. Nicaracua, Chontales (Belt).—Sourn America, Amazons, Ega! (Bates, coll. Fry). 
Figure 23 and the variety shown in fig. 24 are both Chontales specimens. 
I. preusta, Klug, is given in the Munich Catalogue as a synonym of J. lycoides. I 
have seen a totally different species so named, which is rather nearly allied to L. disjuncta, 
and has the elytra similarly coloured; it is in my own collection from the Amazons, 
but is quite distinct from the present species. 
6. Ichnea enoplioides. (Tab. IX. fig. 22.) 
Ichnea enoplioides, Spin. Mon. ii. p. 25+, t. 87. f. 1, 2. 
Ichnea circumcincta, Chev. Rev. et Mag. Zool. 1874, p. 737. 
Hab. Mexico, Cordova (Sallé), Juquila (Boucard, coll. Sallé); Guatemata, San 
Geronimo, Senahu (Champion); Nicaragua, Chontales (Belt)—Sovrn America, 
Colombia !, Cayenne 1, Amazons (coll. Gorh.). 
From the number of MS. names quoted by Spinola, and others which I find attached 
to unimportant variations of this insect, it is clearly a misunderstood species. Yet 
Spinola’s figures seem recognizable enough; it is a widely spread species, extending, 
perhaps, even to Brazil ; for I possess a specimen so labelled.
