44 PHYTOPHAGA.—SUPPLEMENT. 
entire elytral disc is occupied by the dark blue bands, the margin only being narrowly 
fulvous. L. cewruleo-plagiata should follow L. dorsalis. 
67. Lema fulvo-marginata. 
Fulvous; labrum black; thorax subquadrate, sometimes punctured on the disc; elytra with a deep basal 
depression, metallic blue or greenish, the extreme lateral and apical margins fulvous; legs entirely fulvous. 
Length 13 line. 
3. Head slightly constricted behind the eyes, the space surrounding the latter remotely punctured and sparsely 
pubescent; labrum piceous; antenne nearly as long as the body, the basal joints fulvous, the others 
slightly darker, the second to the fourth joints gradually increasing in length, the rest still more elongate 
and equal; thorax subquadrate, the sides but very moderately constricted, the anterior angles without 
tubercles, the basal sulcation distinct but not very deep, the surface with a double row of punctures on the 
middle of the disc and a few punctures near the anterior angles; scutellum fulvous; elytra subdepressed, 
with a short but deep impression below the base near the suture, strongly and not very closely punctured 
anteriorly, much more finely posteriorly, the interstices costate near the apex, the surface of a metallic 
greenish-blue colour, the lateral margin narrowly fulvous, this colour generally extending to the space 
between the interrupted ninth row of punctures and to the apex ; underside and legs fulvous; the posterior 
femora extending to the apex of the abdomen. 
Hab. Muxico, Teapa in Tabasco (H. H. Smith). 
The typical form of L. fulvo-marginata is well distinguished from the numerous small 
species with metallic blue elytra by the narrow fulvous margin of the latter, this colour 
being, however, in some specimens confined to the apex. Inthe female the antenne and 
the posterior femora are shorter than in the male. The intermediate joints of the 
antenne are more or less stained with fuscous, and sometimes the anterior tarsi and the 
apices of the tibiz also. 
CRIOCERIS. 
Crioceris viridis (p. 15). 
To the locality given, add:—Mexico, Almolonga, Jalapa (Hége), Orizaba (Godman), 
Cordova (Sallé); Guatema.a, Sabo in Vera Paz (Champion). 
There is a small, more or less distinct, fovea visible at the sides and near the middle 
of the elytra in all specimens; of this Lacordaire makes no mention. 
Crioceris nitida (p. 15). 
To the locality given, add :—Guatema.a, Cerro Zunil (Champion). 
Lacordaire places C. nitida amongst those species in which the prosternum is narrow 
but distinct, which is the case in the Guatemalan examples. The latter are much 
more shining than C. viridis, and are also more robust and generally larger; the thorax, 
instead of having fine transverse ridges, is sparingly and finely punctured; and the 
elytra are finely punctate-striate, and have (as in C. viridis) a distinct lateral fovea, 
and the interstices are elevated at the apex. There appear to be several very closely 
allied metallic green Central-American species which are not easy to separate. I have 
not seen any Mexican specimens of C. nitida. |
