and rugulosely punctured head and thorax; and coarsely striate-punctate elytra (the 
punctures transverse in shape and approximate), the third, fifth, and seventh interstices 
of which are wider than the others, and, like the suture, more or less raised or costate. 
This species is the largest of the known forms of this group. An example from San 
Juan is figured.

This species is generally distributed in our region from Guatemala southwards, and. 
extends into Southern Colombia. S. permodicum differs from the closely allied S. exile, 
Makl., from Colombia, Venezuela, and Bolivia, in the more coarsely sculptured upper 
surface (especially of the thorax), and in the more sparingly punctured under surface ; 
the legs, moreover (judging from two examples, one from Cartagena and another from 
Cumana, before me of what I suppose to be S. exile), are very much smoother, and not 
closely and coarsely punctured as in S. evile. Smaller, narrower, and less convex than 
S. subcostatum, the upper surface less shining. 
65. Strongylium cancellatum.

Hab. Mexico}, Jalapa (Hoge); British Honpuras, R. Hondo (Blancaneaux). 
The three examples I refer to this species differ from S. exile in having the surface 
of a much darker bronzy tint, and more coarsely punctured ; and also in the elytra 
having all the interstices a little raised, the wider alternate ones still more strongly so. 
Elytra long, rather depressed, foveolate-striate almost to the apex ; eyes moderate; pro- 
thorax rugulosely punctured ; legs and antenne long and slender, the apical joint 
of the latter testaceous ; upper surface dark greenish-bronze ; size moderate.

Hab. Mexico, Cordova (Sallé!), Cerro de Plumas (Hége). 
Found in abundance by Herr Hoge at Cerro de Plumas. This species in many of its 
characters resembles S. variicorne and others placed nearer the beginning of the genus, 
but is a more fragile insect and has more depressed elytra. A specimen from Cerro de 
Plumas is figured.
