Lobopoda foveata (p. 405). 
To the Panama localities given, add :—Matachin (O. Schunke). 
Numerous examples, forwarded to us by M. René Oberthiir. 
Lobopoda pilosa (p. 405). 
To the localities given, add :—Guvatemata, Coban (Conradt). 
We have now received a male example of this insect, the characters.of which are as 
follows :— 
3. Eyes very large and approximate; anterior tibixe slightly sinuous within; the lateral lobes of the last 
ventral segment spoon-shaped, their apices somewhat truncate and furnished with a few very short hairs ; 
_ the central sheath narrow. 
The lateral lobes of the last ventral segment are broader, less narrowed outwardly, 
and more obtuse at the tip than in the allied L. foveata. 
ALETHIA (p. 417). 
2 (a). Alethia nitidipennis. 
3. Elongate, narrow, parallel, pitchy-brown, thickly clothed with long, decumbent hairs, the head and pro- 
thorax dull, the elytra shining. Head very densely, finely, confluently punctured, the eyes large, 
narrowly separated; antenn ferruginous, slender, filiform, extending to beyond the middle of the elytra; 
prothorax strongly transverse, slightly flattened on the disc, the sides gradually converging from the base 
and feebly rounded anteriorly, the disc obsoletely depressed in the middle at the base, the surface very 
densely, finely, confluently punctured; elytra very elongate, much broader than the prothorax, parallel 
for two-thirds of their length, finely and lightly punctate-striate, the strie becoming a little deeper at the 
apex and the punctures closely placed, the interstices thickly and more finely punctate, flat, feebly convex 
at the apex ; legs very long and slender, pitchy-brown, the tarsi rufo-testaceous. 
Length 8, breadth 24 millim. 
Haé. Mexico, Omilteme in Guerrero 8000 feet (H. H. Smith). 
Two examples, both males. Closely allied to A. longipennis and A. subnitida ; 
differing from the former in the much longer pubescence, larger and more widely 
separated eyes, more transverse thorax, and relatively shorter, distinctly punctate-striate 
elytra, and from the latter in the very densely scabrous-punctate thorax and the more 
finely punctured elytra. 
CHARISIUS (p. 421). 
1(a). Charisius picturatus. (Tab. XXIII. fig. 21, ¢.) 
Elongate, shining, bright rufo-testaceous ; the elytra each with a short oblique stripe below the shoulder, a 
strongly angulated postmedian fascia (which is interrupted in one specimen), and a short, angulated 
fascia or crescentiform mark before the apex, neither of which reach the suture, yellow, these markings 
edged on all sides with black and dentate in front and behind. Head finely and somewhat thickly 
punctured; antenne rufo-testaceous, filiform, not reaching to the middle of the elytra; prothorax 
transverse, the sides parallel behind, rounded and converging in front, the transverse basal groove very 
deep and extending outwards to the deep basal fover, the disc distinctly canaliculate, the surface very
