NYSSODRYS. 181 
oblique (haud sinuatim) angustato, supra linea i impressa, punctata, continua, juxta marginem posteriorem ; 
elytris apice oblique obtuse truncatis ; mesosterno latiusculo. 
Long. 2 lin. 
Hab. Nicaracua, Chontales (Belt). 
This and the preceding species differ from those described hitherto in the considerable 
width of the mesosternum, and in the longer interval between the eyes and the lower 
margin of the forehead. In other respects they accord very well in generic character 
with Lepturges. 
11. Nyssodrys calligramma, (Lepturges calligramma, Tab. XIII. fig. 2, et 
var. Tab. XII. fig. 17.) 
Lepturges calligramma, Bates, Trans. Ent. Soc. 1872, p. 2171. 
Hab. Mexico, Cordova (Sallé); GuatemMaua, Cerro Zunil (Champion); Nicaragua, 
Chontales (Belt 1). 
The ovipositor of the female of this species scarcely projects beyond the apex of the 
elytra. Both the forms figured are from Chontales. 
12. Nyssodrys longula. 
Elongata, angusta, vix convexa, fusco-ochracea, elytris utrinque plagis duabus lateralibus (prima vix ante, 
secunda sat post medium) et scutello purpureo-fuscis velutinis, guttisque et maculis plurimis dorsalibus 
fuscescentibus ; antennis nigris ; thorace relative parvo, utroque latere paullo ante basin obtuse tumido ; 
elytris valde elongatis, apice transversim flexuoso-truncatis, angulo exteriore producto, acuto; pedibus 
fusco-ochraceis, tibiis apice tarsisque nigricantibus ; femoribus gradatim incrassatis, 
Long. 3 lin. o. 
Hab. Costa Rica (Dr. Horn), coll. Bates. 
One example, evidently a male, belonging to the same group as WV. calligramma, 
pulverea, and letifica, in which the external angle of the elytral truncature is pro- 
duced and the scutellum clothed with black pile. 
13. Nyssodrys roseicollis. (Lepturges roseicollis, Tab. XIV. fig. 4.) 
Nyssodrys roseicollis, Bates, Trans. Ent. Soc. 1872, p. 221°. 
Hab. Mexico, Cordova (Sailé); Guatemaa, Cerro Zunil, Zapote, Duefias, San Juan, 
Tamahu, San Gerdénimo (Champion) ; Nicaracua, Chontales (Belt 1). 
Mexican specimens differ from those of Guatemala and Chontales in the black spots 
of the thorax being united, forming a broad central belt. The specimen figured is from 
Duefhas. 
14. Nyssodrys polygramma. (Tab. XIII. fig. 17.) 
Nyssodrys polygramma, Bates, Trans. Ent. Soc. 1872, p. 220.
