This genus, also exclusively American, has a wider range than Mecometopus, ex- 
tending in numerous species throughout temperate North America, in the West Indies, 
and south of the tropics in South America. About a score species are known. 
1. Neoclytus cacicus. 
Clytus (Rhopalomerus) cacicus, Chevr. Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1860, p. 493, t. 9. f. 8°. 
Neoelytus rufus, Bates, Trans. Ent. Soc. 1872, p. 187 (nec Olivier)’. 
Hab. Honpuras, Belize (Sallé1); Guatemata, Capetillo (Champion); Nicaracva, 
Chontales (Belt, Janson). 
In my enumeration of the Longicornia of Chontales? I referred this species to 
N. rufus of Olivier, which it greatly resembles, being distinguishable only by the 
slightly different shape and direction of the basal fascia of the elytra. 1 doubt 
whether it can be more than a local variety. The habitat of N. rufus was unknown 
to Olivier. 
2. Neoclytus rufitarsis. 
Clytus (Rhopalomerus) rufitarsis, Chevr. Aun. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1860, p. 494°. 
Hab. GUATEMALA, 
8. Neoclytus augusti. 
Clytus Augusti, Chevr. Col. du Mexique, fase. 4, Céramb. 4; Lap. & Gory, Mon. Clyt. p. 30, t. 7. 
f. 37. 
Clytus dubius, Chevr. Col. du Mexique, fase. 4, Céramb. 5 (var. ¢). 
Clytus (Rhopalomerus) Augusti, Chevr. Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1860, p. 495°. 
Hab. Mexico, Vera Cruz, Tlacotalpam 4. 
4, Neoclytus clavipes. 
Clytus (Rhopalomerus) clavipes, Chevr. Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1860, p. 495 , 
Hab. Guavremata!, 
From the description I should judge this species to belong to its author's genus 
Rhopalopachys. 
5. Neoclytus curtulus. 
Clytus (Rhopalomerus) curtulus, Chevr. Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1860, p. 497. 
Hab. Mexico (Truqui).
