LONGICORNIA. 293 
colour-aberration ; the whole upper surface, including the basal joint of the antenne,,. 
being reddish tawny, with the exception of the disc of the thorax, which is metallic 
green, and there are two narrow dusky stripes on each elytron, which are the remains 
of the broad velvety-black vitte (one discoidal, the other marginal) of C. aureotincta. 
The sculpture of the thorax, finely alutaceous on the disc and transversely striate on 
the sides, and the well-developed lateral spine, the scarcely produced exterior apex of the 
scape, and the red femora are the same as in the type-form. The only difference is the 
“very slightly broader, compressed hind tibie*. 
Callichroma rugicollis (p. 46). 
To the localities given, add:—Mexico, Plan del Rio, Misantla, Cerro de Plumas 
(Hoge) ; Panama, near the city (J. J. Walker), Bugaba, San Feliz (Champion). 
Mr. Champion’s Bugaba examples were found about the flowers of a large leguminous 
tree bearing an edible fruit (locally known as “ guaco”). 
12. Callichroma novella. 
C. rugicolli proxime affinis et similis; differt thorace minute punctato nec transversim striato, disco utrinque 
nigro-velutino, femoribusque posticis dimidio apicali nigro. 
Long. 9 lin. 
Hab. Nicaracua, Chontales (Belt). 
Two examples. The insect is rather more elongate, in proportion to its width, than 
C. rugicollis. The thorax has very feebly developed lateral tubercles, and the scape 
is only slightly produced at the exterior apical angle. 
13. Callichroma buprestoides. 
Lete viridi-enea; scapo femoribusque rufis, coxis rufo-maculatis, elytris fulvo-fusco pubescentibus, utrinque 
costis angustis (altera discoidali altiori, altera submarginali) suturaque viridi-sneis ; scapo apice extus vix 
producto ; thorace subtilissime alutaceo-ruguloso, sparsim fulvo-pubescenti ; antennis (scapo excepto), tibiis 
et tarsis nigris ; corpore subtus fere nudo. 
Long. 18 lin. 9. ; 
Hab. Mxxico, Cordova (Sallé). 
One example only of this fine and distinct species. 
PHYMATODES (to follow the genus Coremia, p. 47). 
Phymatodes, Mulsant, Col. de France, Long. ed. 1. p. 47; Lacordaire, Gen. Col. ix. p. 538. 
An ill-defined genus, scarcely distinguished from Callidium. About a dozen species 
have been referred to it, all of which are from the North Temperate zone. 
* In the remarks on this species at p. 46 a misprint occurs; it is with C. rugicollis that I compared the 
species, not C. nigr icollis.
