CLAOTEGES. 277 
not or very feebly mucronate, and the surface set with longer sete and often granulate. 
The scales vary in colour, but are usually darker on the flattened dorsal portion of 
the elytra, and there are often small green patches on the flanks and hind angles 
of the prothorax, as well as on the wing-cases. 
3. Cleoteges tuberculosus, sp. n. (Tab. XII. figg. 27, 274, 2.) 
Oblong, narrow (<¢ ), broader (2), black; densely clothed with brown scales, the prothorax with a narrow 
sinuous stripe on each side and another on the lower part of the flanks, the elytra with an oblique row 
of irregular spots or streaks on the outer half of the disc before the middle, extending to beneath the 
humeri, a transverse interrupted fascia between the subapical tubercles, and an oblong patch on the 
flanks, and various small scattered patches on the under surface, golden-green ; the elytral surface also 
set with scattered, curled, decumbent sete, similar to those on the legs. Head and rostrum densely, 
rugulosely punctate, the rostrum obsoletely bicarinate towards the feeble transverse inter-antennal 
ridge; eyes large. Prothorax convex, a little broader than long, rounded at the sides, shallowly sulcate 
down the middle; densely punctulate and strongly granulate. Elytra subparallel in their basal half, 
wider in 9, flattened towards the suture, obsoletely mucronate at the apex; punctate-striate, the 
interstices densely punctulate, 3 and 5 each with a series of tubercles extending from the base to the 
apical declivity, the terminal one on 3 large, 5 also with a conical tubercle at its point of termination, 
and 6 and 7 raised and subtuberculate. Ventral segments 2-5 clothed with long fulvous hairs down 
_ the middle in g. Anterior and intermediate femora sharply, the posterior pair feebly, dentate. 
Length 94-114, breadth 3;,-3)% millim. (3 @.) 
Hab. Guatemata, Senahu in Alta Vera Paz (Champion). 
Three specimens. In this species the ridge on the elytral interstices 3 and 5 is 
broken up into tubercles, the granules on the prothorax are distributed over the whole 
surface, and the green scales above are condensed into narrow submarginal vitte on 
the prothorax and two interrupted fascie on the elytra. 
4, Cleoteges obliteratus, sp.n. (Lab. XII. figg. 28, 28 a, ¢.) 
Oblong, rather convex, broader in Q, nigro-piceous or black; mottled with coppery- and blackish-brown 
scales, with a few cinereous scales intermixed, in one specimen (2) with numerous small scattered 
patches of green scales on the upper surface and legs; beneath (a sparsely pilose space down the middle 
excepted) cupreo- or viridi-squamose ; the surface also set with stout, scattered, decumbent, curled seta. 
Head and rostrum densely, rugulosely punctate, the rostrum sometimes obsoletely bicarinate towards 
the inconspicuous inter-antennal ridge; eyes large, widely separated. Prothorax nearly as long as 
broad, convex, rounded at the sides, narrowly suleate down the middle; densely punctulate and 
somewhat closely granulate. Elytra rather convex in ¢, widened to the middle and slightly depressed 
towards the suture in 9, acuminate and mucronate at the tip; punctate-striate, the interstices densely 
punctulate, 3 somewhat strongly, and 5-7 more feebly, costate, 5 with a small tubercle at its point of 
termination in g. Anterior and intermediate femora sharply, and the posterior pair feebly, dentate. 
Length 91-10, breadth 3-33 millim. (¢ @.) 
Hab. Guatemaa, Balheu [ ¢ | and Purula [ ¢ ] in Vera Paz (Champion). 
Three specimens, the female with an admixture of metallic-green scales above and 
beneath and on the legs, and the other scales brown. More convex than its allies, 
the ridge on the third elytral interstice uniformly convex and interrupted, not raised 
into a tuberculiform prominence at the commencement of the apical declivity.
