208 PHYTOPHAGA. 



33. Calligrapha dislocata. 



Chrysomela dislocata, Rogers, Proc. Acad. Philad. 1856, p. 32 S t. 1. f. 4; Suffrian, Stett. ent. 



Zeit. 1858, p. 258 2 ; Stal, Monogr. Chrys. Amer. p. 264 3 . 

 Calligrapha circumflexa, Sturm, Cat. 1843 \ 

 Hab. North America, Texas 1 2 .— Mexico 3 4 , Puebla (SallS). 



Suffrian has given a more lengthened description of this species than Eogers, likewise 

 Stal. All the specimens which I have for comparison have the outer curved stripe 

 connected with the shoulder-spot. Specimens in which the latter is separated, as 

 figured by Rogers, I have not seen. 



34. Calligrapha violaceo-maculata. (Tab. XIV. fig. 22.) 



Calligrapha violaceo-maculata, Jacoby, P. Z. S. 1878, p. 147. 

 Hab. Costa Eica (coll. Jacoby). 



Of this handsome species a single specimen is contained in my collection. The elytral 

 markings, as will be seen, are unlike those of any other species of Calligrapha in regard 

 to the absence of small spots and the violaceous colour of the markings ; the thorax is 

 of a dark metallic green, the antennse and legs being fulvous. The species must be a 

 very rare one, as I have not seen any other specimen from Central America. 



35. Calligrapha elegantula. (Tab. XIV. fig. 18.) 



Calligrapha elegantula, Jacoby, P. Z. S. 1877, p. 519. 

 Bab. Costa Rica (van Patten), Cache, Volcan de Irazu (Bogers). 



Numerous specimens of the present insect have been received from Costa Rica only. 

 It may be separated from its allies by the uninterrupted sutural band, which has no 

 spots or stripes attached to it, while a short vitta runs parallel with it from before to 

 below the middle, and ends in a knob, another spot being placed below the base at 

 its anterior part ; this vitta is always free, and never attached to the suture ; the lateral 

 margins of the elytra are entirely without spots. 



36. Calligrapha bajula. 



Calligrapha bajula, Stal, Diagn. 1860, p. 461 ; Monogr. Chrys. Amer. p. 269 \ 



Hab. Guatemala 1 . 



Stal compares this species to C. serpentina, but says that it is smaller and devoid 

 of the elytral sutural vitta. I have not seen any such species in either M. Salle's or 

 Mr. Baly's collection, nor has the insect been met with by Mr. Champion.
