MALACODERMATA. 345 
14 (c). Hydnocera ——? 
Hab. Muxico, Northern Sonora (Morrison). 
A species allied to H. furcata; there is no scutellar patch, but a single white fascia- 
like spot; the punctuation more rugose. 
ICHNEA (p. 178). 
6 (a). Ichnea vitticollis. (Tab. XII. fig. 24.) 
Ichnea vitticollis, Gorh. Trans. Ent. Soc. 1877, p. 415. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba, San Feliz (Champion). 
Judging from the figure of I. su¢wralis, Klug, this species must very nearly resemble 
that insect, but is distinct, the terminal joint only of the antenne being white. The 
underside of the prothorax is yellow, the whole of the breast and the abdomen black. 
The legs are quite yellow, excepting the front tarsi, which are blackish, and the front 
tibiee are clouded. 
Three examples were obtained, two at San Feliz, and one at Bugaba; the latter is. 
the one figured. These were beaten from withered leaves of fallen forest trees. 
APOLOPHA (p. 181). 
Apolopha chiriquiana (p. 182). 
To the Panama localities given, add :—Tolé (Champion). 
Several additional specimens from this and the other localities recorded. Mr. Champion 
found the species frequenting a black powdery fungoid growth on the bark of felled 
or fallen forest trees, usually in the shade. 
ORTHOPLEURA (p. 184). 
Orthopleura damicornis (p. 185). 
To the localities given, add :—Mexico, Ventanas (Forrer). 
One example. The elytra are bluer than in the examples in my collection, and the 
head, legs, and breast are reddish, the punctuation of the elytra being at the same time 
finer. There are many discrepancies between the insects I refer to this species and 
the descriptions of Fabricius'and Spinola. Neither mention the narrow red fascia 
on the elytra, which, however, is often very indistinct. Spinola describes the club 
as being as long as the rest of the antenna; in the example sent me by M. Chevrolat, 
under the name Peloniwm pennsylvanicum, the club is more than three times the length 
of the basal part of the antenna, and this is so also in one of my Mexican specimens. In 
the other examples the antenne are unfortunately defective.
