SUPPLEMENT. 
Sincz the commencement of the present volume in 1881 a large number of specimens 
have arrived from Messrs. Godman and Salvin’s collectors, among which are a consider-. 
able number of new species. Mr. Champion’s journey into the interior of the State 
of Panama has also been productive of a vast number of species, proving that the rich 
fauna of Central America is far from being exhausted at present. It is the object of 
this Supplement to describe and record these, as well as to indicate any. corrections and. 
additional facts which may have come to light during the progress. of the work. 
LYCUS (p. 1). 
Lycus fernandezi (p. 2). 
To the Mexican localities given, add :—Northern Sonora (Morrison). 
Specimens sent from the above locality and ticketed “‘ Lycus cruentus; var.,” are- 
identical with LZ. fernandezi. If this determination is correct, Dr. Leconte’s name would 
be adopted for this insect; but I have not yet seen specimens from Arizona or Cali-. 
fornia, which are quite as. likely to be referable to one ef its near allies. 
LYCOSTOMUS (p. 4). 
Lycostomus sordidus (p. 5). 
To the localities given, add':—Mexico, Istapan (coll. Saldé); GuaTeMaa, Sinanja,. 
Sabo in Vera Paz (Champion). 
8 (a). Lycostomus angulatus. 
Niger, subopacus, sat elongatus; prothoracis lateribus-elytrorumque triente basali ochraceo-flavis ; nigritudine. 
apicali versus basin angulariter porrecto. Long. 7-12 millim. ¢ Q. 
Mas. Tibiis omnibus basi leviter curvatis.. 
Hab. Guatemata, Sinanja valley, Sabo in Vera Paz (Champion). 
This is very nearly allied to Z. sordidus. It is, however, less expanded behind, and’ 
has the basal third of the elytra orange-yellow,. with the black forming a: sharp inden- 
tation. The tibia are much less strongly curved, and the antenne-seem to have their 
third joint only about half as long again as the fourth. A series of. the smaller speci- 
mens were taken by Mr. Champion in the dense forest at Sabo..
