Seven species of this genus have been described, all Tropical South-American. The 
pair of curious horn-like projections from the forehead are in some species reduced to 
obtuse tubercles; were they absent altogether, scarcely any thing would remain to 
distinguish the genus from Amphionycha. The lateral carina is sharply limited, more 
or less curved, sometimes even flexuous, and terminating abruptly at three fourths the 
length of the elytra.

Amphionycha albaria, Bates, Trans. Ent. Soc. 1872, p. 230. 
Hab. Nicaraeva, Chontales (Belt). 
Shorter and broader than any other species previously described, and the lateral carina 
of the elytra strongly flexuous. It presents the characteristic feature of the genus in 
two distinct but obtuse frontal tubercles. 
8. Phebe luteola.., 
Parva, fulva; corpore subtus, capite, thoracis vittis duabus latis (antice abbreviatis) elytroramque basi fasciis 
duabus latera haud attingentibus (prima versus basin, secunda versus apicem) et macula utrinque discoidali 
cretaceis ; pedibus pallide flavis, antennis melleo-flavis ; fronte ( ¢ ) tuberculis elongatis vix elevatis flavo- 
strigatis.
