MEGALOSTOMIS. 73 
nearly to the middle, and ending in a blunt point near the suture, the one at the apex of rounded shape; 
legs fulvous, pubescent, the tarsi black. 
Hab. Satvapor (Sallé). 
A single specimen, differing entirely from all its allies in the system of coloration, 
especially in the broad fulvous sides of the thorax and in the similarly-coloured legs.

Hab. Panama (Boucard), Bugaba, David in Chiriqui, Taboga Island (Champion).— 
CotomBiA!; VENEZUELA (coll. Jacoby). 
The Panama specimens and those from Venezuela contained in my collection agree 
so well with Lacordaire’s description that I must refer them to this species. The male 
is furnished with very robust and long mandibles, the right and larger one of which 
is strongly bidentate. A male specimen from Taboga Island is figured. 
10. Megalostomis amazona, (Tab. XXXVI. fig. 24.) 
Megalostomis amazona, Jac. P. Z. 8. 1876, p. 809°. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion).—Amazons }. 
Two specimens, agreeing in every respect with the type in my collection. 
In a collection of Coleoptera just received from Guatemala there is an interesting 
new species of Megalostomis :— 
11. Megalostomis viridifasciata. 
Dark cupreous, the base of the head and the posterior margin of the prothorax metallic green ; elytra closely 
and rather strongly semipunctate-striate, the suture and a short transverse band at the middle metallic 
green. 
Length 3-4 lines. 
Head irregularly punctured near the eyes, dark cupreous, the base and the anterior margin of the epistome 
metallic green ; antenne as long as the thorax, black, the basal joints cupreous ; thorax strongly narrowed 
in front, the sides straight, the base sinuate on either side of the median lobe, the surface finely and very 
remotely punctured on the disc, much more strongly and subrugosely so at the sides, the latter with a 
more or less distinct transverse depression towards the base; scutellum metallic green, its base cupreous ; 
elytra rather strongly depressed below the shoulders, the latter very prominent, the surface strongly and 
closely (but not very regularly) punctate-striate, the suture very narrowly (more broadly so just before 
the apex) metallic green, the disc of each elytron with a short and narrow metallic green transverse band 
at the middle; underside and legs cupreous, closely covered with whitish pubescence. 
Hab. Guatemata, Coban in Vera Paz (Conradt). 
M. viridifasciata agrees almost entirely with J. splendida in its system of coloration,
