CYMATONYCHA.—DRYCOTHEA. 193 
1. Cymatonycha castanea. (Tab. XV. fig. 13.) 
Cymatonycha castanea, Bates, Trans. Ent. Soc. 1878, p. 234’. 
Hab. Guatemaia, Chacoj (Champion) ; Nicaracua, Chontales (Belt?). 
Group CALLIINI. 
I adopt this group from Lacordaire’s arrangement, but should be disposed to modify 
it by transferring to it Eumathes from the group Hebestolini. With tarsal claws 
similar to those of Oberea and a number of other genera belonging to the old sub- 
family Saperdine, it differs in its totally different facies, owing to the short and 
generally ovate forms of its species, and the thorax being ovate, with most frequently 
a distinct lateral tubercle. 
DRYCOTHEA. 
Drycothea, Thomson, Physis, ii. p. 145 ; Lacordaire, Gen. Col. ix. p. 908. 
One Mexican species only has been described. Others have been discovered by 
Champion in Guatemala, and are apparently common insects; so that it is probable the 
genus is a numerous one in Central America. 
1. Drycothea sallzi. 
Drycothea sallei, Thomson, Physis, ii. p. 145°. 
Hab. Mexico, Teapa!, Toxpam, Playa Vicente, Cordova (Sai/é). 
2. Drycothea stictica. 
Estole perforate simillima, sed antennis brevioribus. Elongata, breviter setosa, ochraceo-fusea, elytris maculis 
parvis irregularibus (plerumque transversis) passim variegatis, antennis pedibusque griseo-nigris, illis 
articulis basi griseis; thorace utrinque tuberculo laterali parvo acuto, dorso sparsim grosse punctato ; 
elytris usque ad apicem striato-punctatis, interstitiis hic illic paullo elevatis, apice singulatim obtuse 
rotundatis; antennis robustis, ciliatis, corpore vix longioribus ; mesosterno valde convexo, haud carinato. 
Long. 34-54 lin. 
_ Hab. Guatemata, Cahabon, Cerro Zunil, San Isidro, Zapote, San Gerdnimo, San 
Juan (Champion). 
The dusky spots and specks of the elytra are much fainter in some examples than in 
others, and occasionally are quite wanting. 
3. Drycothea testaceipes. 
Fusca, griseo-fusco tomentosa, femoribus plus minusve flavo-testaceis ; antennarum articulis basi griseis ; thorace 
subcrebre punctulato ; elytris punctato-striatis, punctis solum fuscis. 
Long. 23-4 lin. . 
Hab. Guaremata, Cerro Zunil, El Zumbador (Champion).
