The single specimen from Guatemala agrees well with the author’s description, and 
with examples from Colombia contained in my own collection. In the Guatemalan 
specimen the thorax is scarcely one half broader than long, finely and closely punc- 
tured, and has two distinct oblique depressions close to the basal lobe; the elytra are 
rather strongly punctate-striate, with a transverse almost regular red basal band (not 
extending to the suture) and a similarly-coloured small apical spot; the tibie are 
short, strongly dilated, and with an acutely raised lateral and frontal ridge; and the 
first joint of the anterior tarsi is greatly widened in the male. 
Two specimens obtained by M. Boucard at Panama also agree with Lacordaire’s 
description of U. quadrisignata.

It is with some doubt that I refer our Panama specimen to U. inflata, so many 
closely allied forms (some of which are probably mere varieties) having been described. 
This example differs from the two from the same locality referred by me to U. quadri- 
signata, in having a broader thorax (though agreeing in the punctuation), and in the 
red basal band of the elytra being connected with a similarly-coloured narrow lateral 
band which extends quite to the sutural angle. The first-mentioned specimen agrees 
well with Lacordaire’s description of U. inflata; the two others may represent a variety 
of the same species. 
SAXINIS (p. 36). 
The members of this genus seem to vary amongst themselves to a very great degree, 
scarcely two specimens agreeing perfectly with each other ; and the true limits of the 
species are at present, I think, very unsatisfactory and doubtful. The division into 
two sections, as adopted by Lacordaire, of the species with a rounded and the species 
with a subangulate lateral lobe of the elytra does not give much assistance, as there 
are several others that are intermediate in this respect. Hach sex seems again subject 
to considerable variation. |

The specimens which I refer to this species agree in the punctuation of the thorax
