68 PHYTOPHAGA.—SUPPLEMENT. 
GYNANDROPHTHALMA (p. 28). 
Gynandrophthalma agilis (p. 28). 
To the locality Mexico, add :—Tuxtla, Cordova, Teapa (Sal/é), Acapulco in Guerrero 
(Hoge). 
This species varies much in regard to the amount of the fulvous colour of the 
thorax ; the size is equally variable. 
Gynandrophthalma aviculus (p. 29). 
To the locality given, add :—Mexico, Peras (Sal/é). 
4 (a). Gynandrophthalma ruatanensis. 
Fulvous, pubescent below, the terminal joints of the antenna, the tarsi, and breast, black; thorax and elytra 
shining, fulvous, the latter strongly and semirugose-punctate. 
Length 27 lines. 
Head rather flattened, impunctate, shining; the terminal joints of the palpi black; antenne extending to the 
base of the thorax, the four or five lower joints fulvous, the rest black, strongly flattened, the second and 
third joints very small; thorax three times broader than long, the sides rather deflexed, widened towards 
the base, the surface impunctate, the posterior margin only with some punctures; scutellum broadly 
triangular, strongly pointed at the apex, impunctate; elytra convex, subcylindrical, strongly and rather 
closely punctured, the punctures near the suture arranged in somewhat regular rows; underside clothed 
with fulvous pubescence, the breast black; the tibia sometimes fuscous, but generally fulvous, the tarsi 
black. 
Hab. Honpuras, Ruatan Island (Gawmer). 
The entirely fulvous and shining upper surface, the absence of any markings, and 
the strongly punctured elytra distinguish G. ruatanensis. from any of its congeners 
inhabiting our region. 
4 (s). Gynandrophthalma panamensis. 
Obscure fulvous or fuscous, densely covered with silvery pubescence below; head black ; thorax fulvous, 
impunctate ; elytra finely punctured, fulvous, a triangular spot at the shoulder (prolonged inwards), a 
transverse band below the middle, and the apex, black. 
Length 2-23 lines. 
Head black, impunctate, with a triangular groove between the eyes; the anterior margin of the clypeus 
deeply concave at the middle; labrum obscure fulvous ; antenne black, the four basal joints fulvous, the 
terminal joints strongly flattened ; thorax nearly three times broader than long, fulvous, the anterior 
margin narrowly black at the middle, the surface impunctate; scutellum black at the base, its apex 
fulvous and acute; elytra rather remotely and finely punctured, fulvous, with a short subtriangular or 
subquadrate band at the shoulder (which extends inwards towards the suture but does not touch it), a 
transverse band of variable width below the middle (extending to the sutural but not to the lateral 
margin), and the apex and part of the apical margin, black; underside and the legs black, the base of 
the femora more or less fulvous; abdomen obscure fulvous, like the breast densely covered with silvery 
pubescence. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba 1000 feet (Champion).
