differs from Z. klingelhéfferi in having the red spots on the elytra larger and the thorax 
also largely marked with red. The thorax, in the females, varies a little in shape and 
in the extent of the crenulation of the lateral margin.

Zophobas morio (p. 104). 
To the localities given, add :—Temax in North Yucatan (Gaumer), Teapa in ‘Tabasco 
(H. H. Smith), Tehuantepec (Richardson). 
Sent in great numbers by Mr. Gaumer from Yucatan. These specimens vary in the 
depth of the emargination of the epistoma in the male—the emargination in some 
examples obsoletely toothed within, in others not,—and in the size and proximity of 
the punctures of the elytral strie; the surface is usually opaque, in some specimens 
slightly shining. Ina single male from Tampico, Mexico (fichardson), perhaps speci- 
fically distinct, the epistoma is deeply emarginate and feebly triangularly toothed within, 
and the striz of the elytra are only distinct at the apex. Z. rugipes, Kr., and Z. opacus 
(Sahlb.) are probably nothing but varieties of Z. morio.
