Malthinus cruenticeps (p. 104). 
Var. Prothoracis limbo, pedibusque totis, testaceis. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 8000 feet (Champion). 
Mr. Champion secured a very large series of about fifty specimens of what I consider 
to be a variety of this insect. They differ from the type in having the thorax more 
depressed and wider at the base, also in having it margined with yellow, and the legs 
entirely yellow. In one or two examples the smooth apex of the elytra is yellow. 
These examples were found by Mr. Champion by sweeping the undergrowth, chiefly 
consisting of Bambusacez, in the virgin forest at a high elevation. 
Malthinus flavipes (p. 105). - 
After examining the specimens of IZ. cruenticeps collected by Mr. Champion on the 
Volcan de Chiriqui, I am not disposed to insist upon the specific distinction of this 
species; but as no specimen has occurred mixed with them similarly coloured to the 
San Gerénimo specimens, it will be better for the present to retain it as distinct. 
8. Malthinus 
Hab. Mexico, Jalapa (Hége). 
A species of Malthinus allied to WM. cruenticeps. - The thorax is apparently 
smooth ; the elytra are similarly striate, but the punctures are coarser, and the tips 
are yellow. The single specimen is, however, immature, and not in a condition for 
description.

MALTHODES (p. 108). 
Malthodes pallipes (p. 105). 
To the localities given, add:—Panama, Bugaba, David, Tolé (Champion). 
Many males are very small, about two to two and a half millimetres in length, and 
have the thorax apparently dull, perhaps only owing to change after death. 
3. Malthodes tetra. 
Nigra, opaca; antennis corporis longitudine, filiformibus; prothorace postice impresso. Long. 33 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 8000 feet (Champion). 
The wholly black colour, with the exception of the mouth and front of the head, of 
this little species will distinguish it from MM. sanguineicollis, which it resembles in 
form, 
A single specimen only appears to have been met with.
