CALLIGEAPHA. 207 



C. limbaticollis ; but it is larger, and the elytra have three longitudinal stripes, of 

 which the outer one is curved in the shape of an S. The species seems to be a very 

 rare one. 



30. CaUigrapha euplecta. (Tab. XI. fig. 5.)

In this species the antennae and legs are rufous. The elytra have three spots placed 

 at the lateral margin — one before, the second at, and the third behind the middle ; the 

 shoulder-spot is connected with the suture before the middle, and includes a spot near 

 the scutellum ; in the type, which is figured, the spots are much more confluent, forming 

 almost transverse dentate bands, while in the other specimens from Guatemala they are 

 smaller and free. The principal characters of distinction in the present species are the 

 three marginal spots and the red legs and antennae. I have not seen any specimens in 

 either M. Salle's or Herr Hoge's collection, and but few from Guatemala. 



31. Calligrapha sylvia. (Tab. XI. fig. 7.)

The underside, thorax, and legs of this species are piceous or dark brown, as well as 

 the elytral design : of this the shoulder-spot is not divided at the apex, but ends in a 

 point, near which a small round spot is placed ; the sutural stripe has two blunt teeth, 

 one near the base and one before the middle ; behind the latter it is connected with a 

 large round spot directed backwards ; of other spots there are but two or three, with 

 traces sometimes of several minute spots, all parallel with the lateral margin, which is 

 entirely unspotted. I have seen but two specimens — the type (which is figured) and 

 one in the collection of M. Salle. 



32. Calligrapha matronalis. (Tab. XL fig. 17.)

The spots of the elytra are of comparatively large size and very near together, the 

 oblique curved shoulder-spot, a transverse one near the suture at the middle, and a 

 triangular one below it being the largest ; near each lateral margin two small spots are 

 placed anteriorly, at the sides of which another one forms with them a triangle. The 

 specimen figured is one of two obtained by Herr Bibbe.
