3. Phea acromela. | 
Phea acromela, Pascoe, Trans. Ent. Soc. ser. 2, iv. p. 256°. 
Hab. Mexico}, Cordova (Sallé), Almolonga (Hége); GuatemMaua, Zapote, San Juan 
(Champion). 
This common species varies in length from 3 to 6 lines, and is known in most collections 
as Phea divisa (Chevrolat) ; but it appears nowhere to have been described under that 
name. In Pascoe’s description the thorax is stated to have a black spot in its centre ; 
but it is not mentioned that the spot covers a central boss. This feature is more 
strongly marked even than in Ph. saperda, the sides of the umbo being vertical and 
sharply defined, and the surface more or less punctate. The femora vary in colour, 
being sometimes black like the rest of the legs and the abdomen, and sometimes partly 
or wholly red. In one of Mr. Hége’s examples the thoracic umbo is red, like the rest 
of the surface. 
4, Phea lateralis. 
P. acromele proxime affinis, at differt thoracis umbone minus elevato, lateribusque infra nigris. Nigra, subni- 
tida, setosa, capite thoraceque flavescenti-rufis, illo vitta post oculos, hoc vitta dorsali alteraque utrinque 
laterali nigris ; antennis nigris, articulis 4°-9™ basi rufis ; tibiis femoribusque anticis interdum rufis. 
Variat capite antennisque toto nigris. 
Long. 34-42 lin. 
Hab. Mexico, Cuernavaca (Sailé), Cerro de Plumas (Hége); Guaremata, San Isidro 
(Champion). 
Closely allied to P. acromela, but different at first sight in the yellowish instead of 
bright-red colour of the head and the thorax, and in the centre of the latter being tra- 
versed by a broad black vitta from base to apex. The central umbo is also distinctly less 
elevated and its sides less vertical and sharply defined. The flanks of the thorax (above 
the insertion of the legs) have a broad black stripe. The punctuation of the elytra is 
nearly the same as in P. acromela, i. e. strongly impressed throughout, in distinct lines 
over the basal half and irregular over the apical portion. |
