28 PHYTOPHAGA.—SUPPLEMENT. 
Lema godmani (p. 9). 
To the locality given, add:—Mexico, Toxpam, Tuxtla (Sallé); GuatemMaua, Senahu 
in Vera Paz (Champion). 
Although the Mexican and Guatemalan specimens of this species, since received, are 
for the most part of larger size (3 lines) than the type from Nicaragua, they agree in 
all other respects with it; Z. godmani no doubt represents a really distinct species 
amongst the several similarly coloured forms with uninterrupted ninth elytral stria. In 
one specimen the abdomen, as well as the sides of the breast, is black. 
Lema hexastigma (p. 10). 
Lema scutaria, huj. op. p. 10. 
To the locality Mexico, add :—Oaxaca, Toxpam, Cordova, Vera Cruz, Puebla (Sallé), 
Orizaba (F. D. Godman & H. H. Smith). 
This is a very variable species, of which Lacordaire had only the single specimen which 
served him for his type. From the material now before me I have come to the con- 
clusion that Z. scutaria must be considered a variety of L. hexastigma. I have, how- 
ever, only seen a single specimen (from Puebla) entirely agreeing with Lacordaire’s 
description ; in all the others the neck is not marked with black, and in many the suture 
is entirely black, or black only at the base (as in the type of ZL. scutaria); the elytral 
spots vary greatly in size in the different specimens, being sometimes connected at the 
suture and forming almost transverse bands and sometimes very small, the several inter- 
mediate stages proving the variability of the species. In all our examples, however, 
the breast is entirely, or partially, black, and the base of the femora is fulvous. 
Lacordaire had a specimen before him which had no sutural black stripe. The deep 
depression at the base of the elytra (mentioned in the description of L. scutaria) is 
present more or less distinctly in all the specimens. It seems to me doubtful whether 
L. hexastigma itself is anything more than a variety of the North-American L. sea- 
punctata, Oliv., typical examples of which I have not seen. 
45 (a). Lema ancoralis. 
Testaceous, the breast black ; thorax scarcely longer than broad; elytra indistinctly depressed below the base, 
deeply punctured, the ninth row interrupted, a spot at the shoulder, a subtriangular patch at the base, 
and a broad transverse band below the middle, connected at the suture, black ; legs pale. 
Var. a. Elytra with the suture, a small spot at the shoulder, one before and another below the middle, black. 
Var. 6. Elytra immaculate. 
Length 13-27 lines. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
At first sight, LZ. ancoralis seems again to represent only another variety of L. hexa- 
stigma, and I regarded it as such at the first examination ; but the nine specimens before
