SAXINIS.—MONACHUS. 91 
punctures and downwards to the lower part of the strongly produced lateral lobe; underside and legs 
densely covered with grey pubescence. 
Hab. Muxico, Ventanas in Durango, La Noria in Sinaloa (Hége). 
This species is easily distinguished from its congeners by the pubescence of the 
elytra. 
ISCHIOPACHYS (p. 37). 
Ischiopachys proteus (p. 37). 
To the localities given, add :—Mexico, Cosamaloapam, Cordova, Oaxaca, Tehuantepec 
(Sallé), Chilpancingo in Guerrero (H. H. Smith), Cerro de Plumas, Tapachula in 
Chiapas (Hége), Temax in North Yucatan (Gaumer) ; Guatemaua (Sallé). 
Several specimens from the above localities are of an entirely metallic blue or green

MONACHUS (p. 38). 
We have now to add no less than twelve additional species to this genus, nine of 
which are described as new. In addition to these, numerous single examples are left 
undetermined for want of sufficient material. 
Monachus guerini (p. 38). 
To the localities given, add :—Mexico, Presidio, Ciudad in Durango (Forrer), Yau- 
tepec in Morelos, Colima city (Hége); GuaTemaLA, Rio Maria Linda, Pantaleon, Rio 
Naranjo (Champion), Yzabal (Sad/é). 
Monachus scaphidioides (p. 38). 
To the localities given, add:—Mexico, Colima city (Hoge), Acaguizotla and Amula 
in Guerrero (H. H. Smith), Temax in North Yucatan (Gaumer). 
In my diagnosis of this species I accidentally omitted to mention the transverse red 
band of the elytra which does not quite extend to the suture. 
Monachus guatemalensis (p. 38). 
Var. Elytra reddish-fulvous, the apex only purplish. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
A single specimen obtained by Mr. Champion in Chiriqui agrees entirely with the 
type except in the colour of the elytra, the anterior two thirds of which are fulvous 
and the rest purplish,
