384 PHTTOPHAGA. 



In the variety, the elytra have each eight flavous spots (2, 3, 2, 1) ; these vary greatly 

 in size and shape and occupy sometimes nearly the entire disc, the black intervening 

 spaces being reduced to thin lines or otherwise to broad bands. 



5. Notozona nicaraguensis. 



Fulvous ; seven last joints of the antennae fuscous ; elytra closely geminate punctate-striate, flavous, each, 

 elytron with two regular transverse bands and a triangular spot at the apex, dark fulvous. 



Length 4 lines. 



Head very finely punctured round the eyes, transversely grooved between the latter ; antennae half the length 

 of the body, third and fourth joints equal, the four basal joints fulvous, shining, the rest fuscous ; thorax 

 transverse, of nearly equal width, fulvous, shining, the surface with a rounded fovea near the middle of 

 the base, finely and closely punctured ; scutellum fulvous ; elytra each with about ten double rows of 

 punctures, which are a little confused near the sutural margin, flavous, a very regular transverse band 

 at the base, another slightly larger one at the middle, and a spot near the apex, dark fulvous (neither of 

 these bands touches the outer margin or the suture) ; underside and legs fulvous.

6. Notozona sparsa.

 Hab. Mexico 1 . 



The types of this and of the other species of Notozona described by Clark are con- 

 tained in the collection of the British Museum and will, I hope, be figured by Mr. C. CL 

 Waterhouse in the ' Aid to the Identification of Insects.' On account of the filiform 

 palpi of the present insect it ought to be placed in Blepharida. 



7. Notozona elegans.
