406 HETEROMERA. 
Hab. Mexico, Tapachula in Chiapas (Hége); GUATEMALA, Coatepeque 1300 feet 
(Champion). 
Two female examples. This species is closely allied to JZ. eneotineta, but is 
separated by the elytra being shorter and more ovate in shape and with shallower sg 
more finely punctured strie; and the thorax is more finely punctured and more = 
tinctly canaliculate. The two known localities for Z. pilosa are both on the Pacific 
slope, and are not very far distant from each other. 
b. Body glabrous. 
Anterior tarsi in the male with the four basal joints lobed beneath ; the four basal joints 
of the intermediate tarsi (in those species of which the males are known) also more 
or less lobed beneath in this sea. 
* Upper surface bright metallic green or eneous. 
36. Lobopoda nitens. (Tab. XVIII. fig. 8, 2.) 
Elongate, rather convex, bright metallic green with a slight brassy tint, glabrous. Head exceedingly finely 
and remotely punctured; eyes (@ ) moderately large, rather narrowly separated; prothorax convex, the 
sides deeply sinuate-emarginate behind the middle and the lateral margins at this part impressed within, 
the hind angles rather obtuse, the disc rather deeply transversely impressed in the middle before the base, 
the basal foveze very deep, the surface very minutely and remotely punctured, the median lobe at the base 
rather deeply emarginate; scutellum convex; elytra very long, very gradually narrowing from a little 
below the base, the apices somewhat produced and slightly pointed, with rows of moderately coarse, 
oblong, rather distantly placed impressions, the impressions becoming finer towards the apex, the inter- 
stices flat throughout and impunctate; beneath dark bronze with a cupreous tint, almost impunctate; legs 
and antenne dark bronze, the former very sparsely pubescent. 
Length 113 millim.; breadth 4 millim. (¢.) 
Hab. Costa Rica, R. Sucio (Rogers). 
One female example. Allied undescribed forms from Colombia and Brazil exist in 
collections. ZL. cwrulescens, Kirsch, from Bogota, somewhat approaches L. nitens, but 
differs in several important particulars. 
37. Lobopoda irazuensis. (Tab. XVIII. figg. 9, 9a, 3.) 
Moderately elongate, subparallel, eneous with a slight golden tint, shining, glabrous. Head with very fine 
scattered punctures; eyes moderately large and rather widely separated in the male, smaller and more 
distant in the female; prothorax convex, the sides almost straight (though a little sinuate) behind, the 
hind angles subacute, the disc shallowly transversely impressed before the base, the basal foves deep, the 
surface very minutely and sparsely punctured, more closely and more distinctly so on the basal half of the 
disc ; elytra subparallel in their basal half, the suture longitudinally depressed below the scutellum, with 
finely and closely punctured very fine shallow strie, the interstices flat and impunctate; beneath dark 
bronze, the ventral surface remotely and minutely punctured and with shallow longitudinal wrinkles, the 
metasternum longitudinally impressed and with scattered punctures which are very coarse at the sides and 
fine in the middle; legs sparsely pubescent, dark bronze, the tarsi lighter ; antenne fusco-ferruginous.
