336 SUPPLEMENT. 
by the collections of M. Sallé and Herr Hoge, among which all the species Nos. 2 to 9 
can be recognized. Nearly all of them, including the extreme forms MM. albopictum 
and WV. carinatum, were taken apparently together by Herr Hoge at Tehuacan; and as 
connecting varieties are found with them, there can be little doubt that they are all 
varieties of one and the same species. 
Moneilema variolare (p. 95). 
A very large series of this species was taken by Herr Hoge near the city of Mexico. 
The difference between the sexes described by M. Thomson is tolerably constant, 7. ¢. 
the male is more or less densely clothed with tawny-brown tomentum and the female 
glabrous; but numerous females occur in which specks of tomentum are scattered over 
the surface, and many males have the same character. Large glabrous female examples 
(one inch long) agree fairly well with Newman’s description of W. blapsides, but it is 
impossible to be certain that they are the same species. 
11. Moneilema armatum. 
Moneilema armatum, Leconte, Thoms. Arcana Nature, p. 128, t. 18. fig. 2°. 
Hab. Norta AMERICA, near the Mexican frontier !1.—MeExico, Monclova in Coahuila 
(Dr. Palmer). 
A single male example, very closely allied to, if not conspécific with, the above 
species. 
12. Moneilema ebeninum. 
Quoad formam MM. annulato simile, sed tuberculo thoracico multo distinctiore, sicut in M. crasso. Elongato- 
ovatum, sat angustum, nigrum subopacum, supra impunctatum; antennarum articulis 3° et sequentibus 
griseo-annulatis, scapo apice simplici; thorace supra levi, lateribus sparsim indistincte punctatis, utrinque 
tuberculo elevato conico armatis; elytris convexis, humeris nullis, levibus, lateribus solum versus humeros 
sparse punctatis. 
Long. 10 lin. @. 
Hab. Mexico (Sallé). 
One female example only, named WU. ebeninum, Dup., in the Sallé collection. It is 
certainly distinct trom other described Mexican species, but may be an extreme variety 
of one of the North-American species allied to M. armatum. ‘The lateral tubercle of 
the thorax rises uvruptly from the sides, and is thus conspicuous though not long. 
The elytra have vertical sides, but without ridge separating them from the dorsal 
surface.
