FIDIA. • 167 



The type is figured here ; the species is distinguished from the preceding one by the 

 entirely fulvous colour of the legs and body, the closer punctuation and pubescence of 

 the elytra. 



3. Fidia humeralis. (Tab. VII. fig. 13.) 



Fidia humeralis, Lefev. Ann. Soc. Ent. France, 1877, p. 165 \ 

 Hah. Mexico, Cuernavaca 1 (Salle). 



The figure represents the type from M. Salle's collection. 



4. Pidia plagiata. (Tab. VII. figg. 14, 15.) 



Fidia plagiata, Lefev. Ann. Soc. Ent. France, 1877, p. 165 \ 

 Rah. Mexico, Oaxaca 1 (Salle). 



In comparing the present species and the variety, both types of which are figured 

 here, with the type of F. humeralis, I have strong doubts as to the specific value of 

 F. plagiata, the only differences being the larger elytral red spot and the size. 



5. Fidia albovittata. (Tab. VII. fig. 16.) 



Fidia albovittata, Lefev. Ann. Soc. Ent. France, 1877, p. 166 \ 



Eab. Mexico \ Tuxtla, Cordova (Salle), Cerro de Plumas (Hoge) ; British Honduras, 

 river Hondo (Blancaneaux). 



The Honduras specimens show no difference from the Mexican forms ; and the species 

 may easily be known by the four more or less abbreviated white hairy stripes of the 

 elytra. 



6. Fidia sallaei. (Tab. VII. fig. 17.) 



Mdia sallati, Lefev. Ann. Soc. Ent. France, 1877, p. 166 \ 

 Hah. Mexico, Guanajuato x (Buges, coll. Salle). 



This species, the type of which is figured, is easily separated from F. albovittata by 

 the regular white hairy lines on the elytra, and their shining rugose interspaces, as 

 well as the rugosely punctured thorax. A single specimen only is contained in M. Salle's 

 collection. 



7. Fidia guatemalensis. (Tab. IX. fig. 6.) 



Fidia guatemalensis, Jacoby, P. Z. S. 1879, p. 778. 



Hah. Guatemala, Duenas, Capetillo (Champion) ; British Honduras, Belize (Blan- 

 caneaux). 



Only a single specimen was obtained by M. Blancaneaux, numerous others by 

 Mr. Champion. The species is easily known by its metallic bronze colour, and the 

 rugosely punctured elytra and raised interstices of the latter.
