494 SUPPLEMENT. 
the mesosternum slightly excavate for its reception; anterior tibie with a short, sharp tooth at 
the apex. 
Length 17, breadth 9 millim. (¢.) 
Hab. Mexico, State of Jalisco (Richardson). 
One female example. Allied to A. forreri, A. opaca, &c. The thorax is narrowed 
behind, and has the lateral margins considerably thickened; the anterior and hind 
angles are greatly produced though obtuse, the base of the elytra being excavate for 
the reception of the latter. 
Asida foveolata (p. 55). 
To the Mexican localities given, add :—Tehuantepec (Hége). 
Sent in plenty from the Isthmus of Tehuantepec. 
Asida suturalis (p. 55). 
To the Mexican localities given, add :—Mexico city (Hége). 
Found in numbers by Herr Hége in the neighbourhood of the city of Mexico. In 
three of these specimens the sides of the thorax and the sides and suture of the elytra 
are ferruginous. 
13(a). Asida spinimanus. (Tab. XXII. fig. 11.) 
Oblong-oval, moderately broad, depressed, obscure reddish-brown or piceous, opaque, somewhat thickly clothed 
with short, fine, appressed yellowish hairs, the elytra with intermixed very short semi-erect hairs. Head 
finely, somewhat thickly punctate; prothorax strongly transverse, much wider at the base than at the apex, 
the sides rounded at the middle and obliquely converging in front and behind, the apex deeply emarginate, 
the anterior angles acute and prominent, the hind angles subrectangular, the base broadly truncate in the 
middle, slightly sinuate on either side, the disc feebly transversely convex, closely, finely punctate, and 
sometimes with a smooth central line, the lateral margins rather broadly expanded, thin, a little raised, 
and more coarsely punctured ; elytra broadly oval, depressed, a little rounded at the sides in front, wider 
than the prothorax, truncate at the base, without marginal carina, the humeri obtuse and feebly reflexed, 
the disc sometimes with traces of one or two longitudinal ridges towards the sides, the entire surface very 
finely, sparsely punctate, the suture sometimes with a distinct row of coarser punctures on either side ; 
beneath sparsely punctured, the punctures on the ventral segments very fine, each bearing a decumbent 
yellowish hair ; prosternum declivous behind; anterior tibiz with a very long curved spine at the apex, 
coarsely denticulate on their outer edge. 
Length 10-14, breadth 5-7 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Villa Lerdo in Durango (Hége). 
Sent in abundance by Herr Hoge. ‘This insect is perhaps nearest allied to Ologlyptus 
bicarinatus, which would be better placed in Asida (near A. induta); the trochantin 
of the middle cox is moderately prominent in both species. The anterior tibiz, as in 
A. horrida, have a very long curved spine at the apex. The thorax is strongly trans- 
verse, broad behind; the elytra are depressed, truncate at the base, and without 
marginal or other carine. The pubescence is easily abraded.
