468 HETEROMERA. 
behind the middle (not extending to the lateral margin), and the apices, testaceous ; legs ferruginous, the 
middle of the femora a little darker. 
Length 4 millim. (6.) 
Hab. Mexico, Jalapa (Hége). 
One specimen only. This species may be distinguished from O. mexicanus and 
O. sticticopterus by the much more thickly punctured head and thorax, different elytral 
pattern, and the short and peculiarly formed antenne (fig. 15 a); and from O. multi- 
guttatus and O. intricatus by its more sparsely punctured thorax, different elytral 
pattern, and short antenne. The specimen described is a male, the female may 
possibly have a differently-shaped ninth antennal joint. 
3. Othnius multiguttatus. (Tab. XXI. fig. 16.) 
Dark bronze, shining, sparsely clothed with short ashy decumbent hairs. Head coarsely and very closely 
punctured; antenne moderately long, joints 9 and 10 transverse, ferruginous, the last three joints 
piceous; prothorax transverse, coarsely and closely punctured, a narrow ill-defined longitudinal space on 
the middle of the disc impunctate, the surface rather uneven and usually with one or two irregular 
depressions on either side of the disc posteriorly, the sides feebly emarginate before and behind the 
middle and with a short (sometimes indistinct) tooth before and behind the emarginations, the hind 
angles distinct ; elytra subparallel, sparsely and rather finely punctured, the punctures coarser towards 
the base, the surface with numerous fusco-testaceous angular markings and irregularly shaped spots ; 
beneath dark bronze, the venter reddish-brown, sparsely punctured, the middle of the metasternum and 
the ventral surface almost smooth; legs ferruginous, the femora and the middle of the tibie sometimes 
piceous. 
Length 33-43 millim. (¢ 9.) 
Hab. Gvatemata, Capetillo, Zapote, near the city, Purula (Champion). 
Many specimens. 0. multiguttatus is abundantly distinct from all other species of 
the genus noticed here, as will be seen by a reference to our figure. The suture of the 
elytra is narrowly longitudinally depressed at a little distance before the apex in the 
female. 
4. Othnius intricatus. (Tab. XXI. fig. 17.) 
Dark bronze with a slight cupreous tint, slightly shining, sparsely clothed with short ashy decumbent hairs. 
Head coarsely and densely punctured ; antenne comparatively long and stout, joints 9 and 10 as long as 
broad, ferruginous, the last three joints a little darker ; prothorax not much broader than long, densely 
and coarsely punctured, the surface rather uneven and with a shallow depression on either side of the 
disc before and behind the middle, the disc itself also a little depressed before the middle and with a 
smooth slightly raised line in the centre, the sides very feebly emarginate behind, the hind angles distinct ; 
elytra subparallel, rather closely, shallowly, and finely punctured, the punctures coarser towards the base, 
the surface lighter in tint than the prothorax, and with the shoulders and numerous indistinct zigzag 
transverse bands fusco-testaceous, the transverse bands very little lighter than the ground-colour and (as 
usual) bearing hairs of a more ashy tint than the rest of the surface ; legs ferruginous. 
Length 43 millim. (9.) 
Hab. Guatemata, San Gerénimo (Champion). 
A single example. More elongate and duller than O. multiguttatus ; the head and
