PHAA, 199 
Hab. Muxico, Oaxaca (Hage). 
A species much more elongate and linear, or cylindrical, than P. saperda, and distin- 
guished further by the bright red colour of the head, thorax, and elytra, the latter having 
the apical portion, to the extent of rather less than one fourth of the length, black. 
The elytra are rather strongly lineate-punctate, with the apical part less deeply 2 and 
more irregularly punctured. 
17. Phea nigromaculata. 
Brevior et latior, coccinea, griseo tenue pubescens et longe pilosa, antennis, umbone, tibiis et tarsis, elytro- 
rumque macula humerali, altera majore rotunda anteapicali nigris ; capite subcrebre punctato, fronte valde 
convexa ; thorace lateribus medio tuberoso, umbone maxime elevato, antice et lateraliter abrupte declivi, 
supra planato et nigro-penicillato ; elytris subplanatis ante apicem paullulum ampliatis, apice late rotun- 
datis, supra versus basin sparsim vix lineatim punctatis, postice levibus.

Hab. Mexico, Yucatan (Sallé). 
By its robust form this species approaches Tetraopes ; it has not, however, the fissile 
claws of that genus; the basal tooth is unusually large, but obtuse or rounded. I have 
adopted the name given to it by Pilate in the Sallé collection. 
18. Pha tricolor. 
Elongata, subcylindrica, nigra, tenue griseo pubescens, nigro pilosa et partim penicillata, capite, scapo et thorace 
miniaceis, elytris dimidio basali albo-testaceis; capite lato, vertice penicillis duobus nigris, ¢ fronte 
planata, medio dilatata; thorace utrinque modice tumido, umbone latissimo, antice et lateraliter verticali, 
dorso nigro vel nigro-bimaculato et nigro-penicillato, marginibus anticis et posticis nigris nigro-hirsutis ; 
scutello nigro-penicillato; elytris striato-punctatis, versus apicem sublevibus, nigris, dimidio basali albo- 
testaceis, macula humerali alteraque circumscutellari nigris ; antennis dimidium corporis paullo superan- 
tibus, subtus ciliatis ; femoribus interdum rufis.

20. Phea maxima. 
Elongata, robusta, subcylindrica, fusco-nigra, passim breviter fulvo-setosa, capite, thorace, femoribus basi 
(tibiisque anticis) elytrorumque margine aurantiacis; antennis (? ) gracilioribus, corporis dimidium vix 
superantibus, sparsim setosis, nigris, articulis 3--7™ basi rufis ; capite macula post oculum nigra ; thorace

A species differing in facies from all its congeners, and resembling the genus Mecas 
both in colours and in the relative great length and parallel form of the elytra. It
