EHODOB^NUS.

R. 1%-punctaius, but as the typical maculate form of it shows little sign of variation, 

 the two are perhaps best treated as distinct : it is a little more elongate, the prothorax 

 is subquadrate, and the elytra are less widened anteriorly and subparallel in their basal 

 half; the prothorax, in the typical form, has a lanciform median vitta (sometimes 



reduced to a rounded spot) and two spots on each side near the outer margin, and the 

 elytra a scutellar patch, a common, transverse, larger patch before the middle 

 (sometimes reduced to two spots, and sometimes continued along the suture to the 

 base), a broad, common, transverse, anteriorly angulate, subapical fascia, and two 

 spots along the sides, black. The wholly black form has been sent in abundance 



from Yucatan. I have seen the types of Gyllenhal's S. pulchellus and of Chevrolat's 

 B. 12-maculatus .
