442 HETEROMERA. 
Hab. Mexico, Villa Lerdo in Durango (Hoge). 
This species agrees very closely with Dr. Horn’s description of C. cribata, Lec., from 
Texas, but has different male-characters. In C. cribrata, 3, the sixth ventral segment 
is semicircularly notched, and the intermediate joints of the antennz are not thickened. 
C. intricata is closely allied to C. corallifera, but may easily be known from it by the 
much finer reticulation of the elytra, the entirely black legs, the black head (the imtra- 
ocular spot excepted), and the very different form of the sixth ventral segment in the 
male. Numerous examples.

Lytta sanguinea, Haag, Berl. ent. Zeitschr. 1880, p. 35". 
Hab. Mexico (coll. Haag*), Mochitlan in Guerrero (Baron). 
“Tota rufa, elytris pallidioribus, antennarum apice marginibusque segmentorum nigris; capite thoraceque 
canaliculatis, sparsim punctatis; elytris dense diffuse ruguloso-punctatis, nervatis; pectore pedibusque 
breviter flavo-pilosis.—Long. 27, lat. 74 millim. (cap. exc.).” 
We are indebted to Mr. Harford for a male example of this species. C. sanguinea 
approaches C. erythrothorax &c., but has joints 4-6 of the male antenne merely 
thickened. The male also has the basal joint of the middle tarsi strongly dilated on 
the inner side, concave beneath; the fifth ventral segment unemarginate ; and the 
sixth segment depressed and smooth in the middle, and feebly emarginate at the apex. 
The elytra are rather coarsely scabrous-punctate, with three well-marked raised lines 
or coste. The thorax is as long as broad, the disc deeply transversely depressed before 
the middle. The outer spur of the hind tibie is very stout, the inner one slender. 
Haag’s description | was made from a single (female) example. 
9. Cantharis erebea. (Tab. XX. figg. 20,6; 20a, sixth ventral segment, ¢.) 
Elongate, black, a small fulvous spot between the eyes excepted, moderately shining, the elytra opaque. Head 
with a few very widely scattered fine punctures, the occiput impressed in the middle and more coarsely 
and closely punctate, the eyes rather small; antenne moderately elongate, gradually thickening outwardly, 
the outer joints oblong-ovate, the eleventh very much longer than the tenth; prothorax as long as broad, 
rather convex, subquadrate, the sides rounded in front, the disc transversely depressed before the base, 
and with an interrupted median groove and a deep fovea on either side a little behind the middle, the 
surface with a few very widely scattered fine punctures; elytra elongate, finely scabrous-punctate, and 
with two very faint raised lines on the disc; beneath shining, very sparsely, finely punctate, the meta- 
sternum sparsely pubescent ; outer spur of the hind tibia very broad, truncate at the tip, the inner one 
acute. 
6. Antenne with joints 4—7 dilated and thickened, the fifth strongly so; the middle tibiz distorted and 
compressed towards the tip; the basal joint of the middle tarsi thickened; the sixth ventral segment 
depressed and smooth in the middle and very feebly emarginate at the apex; the last dorsal segment 
broadly rounded at the tip. 
Length 19-25 millim. (¢ 2.) 
Hab. Mexico (Sallé), Huetamo in Michoacan (Hoge).
