MALACODERMATA. 287 
very apparent). Owing to the small size of these two species the claws are not easily 
observed without the microscope; they are, however, split as in typical Discoda, and I 
have no doubt that they should be placed after D. carbonarium. 
Many specimens, which scarcely show any variation, were captured by Mr. Champion 
at elevations of from 6000 to 9000 feet. 
Discodon flavicolle (p. 81). 
To the localities given, add:—Mexico, Guajuco in Nuevo Leon (Dr. Palmer); Panama, 
Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 3000 feet (Champion). 
It seems remarkable that this species has not been obtained at present in the inter- 
mediate provinces. The Mexican typical specimens have whiter and less shining 
thoraces, and the thorax is also shorter in the Chiriqui specimens; but otherwise I do 
not see that they differ. 
Taken in some numbers by Mr. Champion. Only one specimen from Guajuco. 
Discodon triste (p. 82). 
To the localities given, add:—Mexico, Ventanas (forrer); GuaTEMALA, San Gero- 
nimo, Sabo, and Purula in Vera Paz (Champion); Costa Rica, Rio Sucio, Volcan de 
Trazu (Rogers); Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
Discodon normale (p. 82). 
To the locality given, add :—GuvatEMALA, Totonicapam 10,000 feet (Champion). 
Var. Elytris sutura margineque flavis. 
Hab. GuateMata, Cubulco, Quiche Mountains (Champion). 
Discodon perplexum (p. 83). 
One female specimen from Misantla (/6ége) is apparently referable to this species ; it 
has the abdomen wholly dark, and the sixth ventral segment with an indistinct elevation 
in the middle, which is perhaps not normal. 
An example (3), possibly a variety, from Playa Vicente (Hége) has the lateral 
margins of the elytra broadly yellow. 
The species alluded to as being possibly the female, under the name Telephorus 
picticollis, is that described at p. 89 of this volume as 7’. /ampyroides, which, however, 
is, I now think, quite distinct. 
Discodon cleroides (p. 84). 
To the localities given, add :—Mexico, Ciudad in Durango 8100 feet (Forrer). 
Var. Prothorace limbo laterali tantum nigro. 
Hab. Mexico, Toluca (Sal/é).
