the disk much larger and placed in rows. C. suffriani is altogether a more elongate 

 and less convex species. 



Three specimens, one of them an immature one, are contained in M. Salle's collection.

 Hab. Mexico \ Cordova, Toxpam, Orizaba, Cerro de Plumas, Jalapa (Salle, Edge). 



The figures represent a male and a female specimen from Toxpam, and a variety 

 from the same locality. It will be seen that the species resembles greatly in its design 

 C. notatipennis. The latter, however, is always of a rufous colour ; and the posterior 

 s tripe attached to the suture is free at its anterior portion and placed further towards 

 the apex of the elytron than in the present species. The broad oblique shoulder-stripe 

 in C. suboculata is generally attached to the sutural stripe at the middle of the elytra ; 

 but the spots between this portion and the apex vary in number from one to six ; the 

 spot at the middle of the lateral margin, however, is always present. The general 

 colour of the insect varies from rufous to greenish aeneous, the thorax having sometimes 

 both colours mixed in various ways. 



13. Calligrapha intermedia. (Tab. XI. fig. 19.) 



Greenish or brownish aeneous below ; the basal joints of the antennae ferruginous ; elytra testaceous, the 

 suture with a short vitta and a spot attached to it posteriorly, a broad band at the shoulder, from the 

 base to the middle, two spots near the scutellum, one below the other, and seven or eight irregular-shaped 

 spots below the middle of each elytron obscure dark aeneous. 



Length 4| Hues. 



Antennae gradually thickened at the last joints, the terminal one distinctly longer than broad ; thorax strongly 

 but remotely punctured on the disk, deeply foveolate-punctate at the sides, the latter nearly straight and 

 only rounded near the anterior angles, which are produced and extend further than the eyes. Elytra of the 

 same shape as in G. computet, the sutural and extreme lateral margins with a short curved vitta, attached 

 to the former below the middle, and a sutural spot near the apex brownish aeneous ; the usual band at 

 the shoulder extends as far as the middle, quite or nearly touching with its posterior end the subsutural 

 vitta ; below the base, near the scutellum, two spots are placed one below the other, the basal one being 

 the smallest of the two, while the space below the band at the shoulder is occupied by seven or eight 

 rather large spots, placed in two rows parallel with the lateral margin, but of dissimilar shape and at unequal 

 distances ; the suture near the extreme apex has another small spot attached to it ; further, two more 

 or less distinct spots are placed near the lateral margin, one before the other, at the middle of each elytron. 

 Legs greenish aeneous or rufous, with a metallic green gloss. 



Hab. Mexico, Panistlahuca (Salle). 



I am obliged to separate this species from its allies C. consputa and C. geographica, on 

 account of the elytral markings, which differ from those of the last-named species in the 

 following ways : the vitta at the shoulder extends here to the middle of the elytra; 

 the attached sutural stripe is placed below the middle instead of before ; and two spots 

 are placed near the scutellum instead of one. The two specimens before me differ 

 slightly from each other; in one of them the elongate band at the shoulder is divided
