LONGICORNIA. 417 
Nyssodrys longula (181). 
A long and slender species, certainly closely allied to WV. calligramma, though differing 
in colours and in the slenderer hind femora. 
Nyssodrys roseicollis (p. 181). 
To the localities given, add :—Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui, Bugaba (Champion). 
Differs from the other species of the N. polyspila group in the dorsal segment of the 
abdomen in the female being slightly pointed or ogival at the apex. 
Nyssodrys polygramma (p. 181). 
This and the following species have, like NV. roseicollis, a pointed apical dorsal 
segment in the female, and elongated ovipositor. 
14(a). Nyssodrys concinna. (Tab. XXV. fig. 8.) 
Anguste oblonga, sublinearis, supra purpureo-nigra; oculorum margine, thorace vitta utrinque laterali, elytris 
utrinque maculis tribus sublateralibus (1? elongata subhumerali, interdum cum 2 rotunda mediana 
conjuncta, 3’que ovata prope apicem) flavis; corpore subtus nigro, griseo-pubescenti; thorace lateribus 
prope basin angulatis subtuberculatis, post angulum usque ad basin oblique angustato, antice mediocriter 
angustato ; elytris elongatis, ¢ parallelis angustis, apice late transversim sinuato-truncatis, angulo exteriori 
dentiformi; femoribus posticis gradatim clavatis, 
Long. 3 lin. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
IV. 
Nyssodrys venusta (p. 180). 
Belongs to a small group extremely similar in form and colours and markings to 
N. letifica and VN. polytenia of the preceding group, but differing in the thorax having 
a distinct spine near to the hind margin. The pro- and mesosternum are distinctly 
narrower (not much broader respectively than in Leiopus nebulosus), and the female 
ovipositor has the dorsal segment bluntly pointed, or ogival at the apex. The following 
is the only other member of the group known at present :— 
Nyssodrys circumscripta (180). 
To the localities given, add :—Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui, Bugaba (Champion). 
HYLETTUS (p. 182). 
Hylettus cenobita (p. 182). 
To the localities given, add:—Panama, Bugaba (Champion).
