412 SUPPLEMENT. 
Nyssodrys in style of markings, and in the presence of a few short rigid bristles on the 
upper as well as the numerous sete on the underside of the antenne. 
The following is a rearrangement of all the species known to me. 
1. 
Nyssodrys contempta (p. 179). 
To the localities given, add:—Mexico, Jalapa (Hoge); Brivis Honpuras, R. 
Sarstoon (Blancaneaur); GuateMALA, Cerro Zunil, Volcan de Atitlan, Las Mercedes, 
Torola, Mirandilla, Sabo (Champion); Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui, Bugaba, David 
(Champion). 
One of the commonest species of Longicornia in Central America. NV. contempta 
belongs to a group differing from the typical Nyssodrys (e. g. N. caudata) by the much 
shorter ovipositor in the female, and the shorter and more thickly (though gradually) 
clavate hind femora, the more convex and ovate form of body, and shorter basal joint of 
the hind tarsi. The group is allied to Atrypanius, of which it has the form of thorax; it 
contains several species with stouter and shorter-jointed antenne, and others with very 
long capilliform antenne; to it belong, of already described species, WV. binoculata, 
N. lignaria, N. cinerascens, N. lentiginosa, N. corticalis, N. grisella, N. spreta, Lep- 
turges lineatocollis, and the four following :— 
1(a). Nyssodrys scutellata.

(Champion).—Sovutn America, Amazons}, | 
Nyssodrys leucopyga (p. 179). 
To the locality given, add :—Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
1(s). Nyssodrys infima. 
Parva, anguste oblongo-ovata, convexa, cinerea nigro-fusco sparsa ; thorace vitta mediana, elytris vitta suturali 
a basi usque ad medium ibique in fasciam obliquam utrinque versus discum divergente, nigro-fuscis ; oculis 
lobo inferiori magno, oblongo (infra paullo angustato); antennis quam corpus duplo longioribus, capillariis, 
fusco-castaneis, sparsim setosis, versus apicem pubescentibus, articulis apice infuscatis a 4° gradatim lon- 
gioribus; thorace subquadrato, antice perparum angustato, spina brevi, laterali ante basin, post spinam 
lateribus paullo obliquis rectis, angulo basali obtuso; elytris apice oblique truncatis. 
Prosterno fere sicut in Letopo nebuloso angusto; mesosterno quam in hac specie latiori, postice parum 
angustato. Femoribus posticis gradatim sat crasse clavatis; tarsis articulo basali quam 2™ et 3"* conjuncti 
conspicue longioribus.
