ANISOPODUS. . 163 
Similar in size and general appearance to A. phalangodes, but widely different in 
many points of structure. The thorax, instead of being rounded at the sides, with the 
lateral armature standing out abruptly as a distinct spine, is of trapezoidal form, with 
oblique and perfectly rectilinear sides, which contract only behind the lateral armature, 
so that the apex of the tooth or spine is continuous with the lateral margin. The apex 
of the elytra is also differently truncated and toothed, the sinuation being narrow and 
very deep, and the sutural angle forming a projecting tooth as well as the external one, 
although shorter. The small black spots of the elytral surface are much smaller and 
more irregularly scattered. The hind femora in the female do not reach the apex of the 
elytra.

The specimens figured are from Chontales. All Mr. Champion’s examples from the 
Cerro Zunil are more strongly marked even than in fig. 7, the black lines near the apex 
being more numerous and extending nearly to the terminal spine.
