Arrhenodes* is a genus of about thirty-two species; formerly it was the most 
extensive of the Brenthide, and still includes foreign elements. It is considered to be 
distributed both in the New’ and Old Worlds, but the species of the Eastern Hemisphere 
will no doubt be ultimately all separated. 
1. Arrhenodes funebris, sp. n. (Tab. II. fig. 12, 3.) 
Niger, opacus, elytris rufo-signatis. 
Long. 14—25 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
Eyes in male placed much in front of the neck. Terminal joint of antenne some 
what longer than usual. Thorax entirely black. Elytra dull black, seriately punctate, 
the interstices more or less carinate; marked with orange-red in a very conspicuous 
manner; the third interstice yellow from the base to one-third of the length, behind the 
middle with a short mark, which is the more internal one of a series of four forming a 
short curved transverse fascia, then again with a longer mark at the apex; fourth 
interstice with a moderately long mark on the middle, behind this with a short one 
forming part of the transverse fascia; fifth interstice with a mark forming part of the 
fascia, and sometimes also with a very minute dot in front of the middle; sixth 
interstice with a short mark in front of the middle (the mark that would be part of 
the transverse series is absent on this interstice); beneath with a short mark before 
the extremity forming the outer one of the transverse fascia; eighth interstice with a 
short mark between the shoulder and the middle: besides these marks there is also a 
dot on the front of the humeral angle. Apices of the elytra rather strongly dentate. 
Terminal ventral segment of male furnished with numerous short yellow hairs. 
We have received a fine series of about one hundred examples of this species. The 
red marks are remarkably constant. The black colour of some parts of the surface 
and legs may become diluted into a sort of dark vinous red. The size and development 
of the male vary enormously. 
2. Arrhenodes flavolineatus. 
Arrhenodes flavolineatus, Gyll. in Schénh. Gen. Cure. v. p. 473°. 
Hab. Mexico}, Toxpam (Sallé), Cordova, Misantla, Bobo, Cerro de Plumas (Hége) ; 
British Honpvuras, R. Sarstoon, Belize (Blancaneaux) ; GUATEMALA, Panzos, Teleman, 
* A. elegans, described from our region by Dr. Senna (Bull. Soc. Ent. Ital. xxi. p. 104), has since been 
withdrawn (t. ¢. xxiv. p. 48) as founded in error.
