92 PHYTOPHAGA.—SUPPLEMENT. 
Monachus lacertosus (p. 39). 
To the Mexican locality given, add :—Atoyac, Teapa (H. H. Smith). 
We have recently received many specimens of this species from the lower part of the 
Atlantic slope of the cordillera of Mexico. 
Monachus bimaculatus (p. 39). 
To the localities given, add :—Panama, Bugaba, Caldera, David (Champion). 
Var, Abdomen entirely pale fulvous. 
The numerous specimens from the State of Panama, with one exception, have the 
entire abdomen as well as the pygidium fulvous. In the type this colour is restricted 
beneath to the last ventral segment; but as a similarly-coloured specimen was also 
obtained in the State of Panama, it is probable that the species varies in this respect. 
occasionally. In every other particular the Panama specimens agree with those from 
Guatemala. MW. basilaris, Suffr., from Colombia, seems to be very closely allied to 
M. bimaculatus, but to differ, according to the description, in the absence of punctua- 
tion below the middle of the elytra, which, on the contrary, is very distinct to the 
apex in WZ. bimaculalus. 
Monachus bicruciatus (p. 40). 
To the localities given, add :—Mextico, Cuernavaca, Etla (Sallé), Cerro de Plumas, 
Oaxaca (Hoge); Guatema.a, Duetias (Champion). 
Monachus nigritulus (p. 40). 
To the localities given, add:—Guarrma.a, Cerro Zunil, San Isidro, San Gerénimo, 
Senahu (Champion) ; Panama, Bugaba, Volcan de Chiriqui, David (Champion). 
T have already remarked that Central-American specimens are somewhat doubtfully 
referred to M. nigritulus, Suffr.; they agree with the description of the author, 
however, in the main points, but they have the elytra more strongly punctured. 
In the male insect the entire head, with the exception of the vertex, and the apices 
of the tibize and the tarsi are fulvous; in the female the head is bluish-black, the 
labrum only being fulvous; and the colour of the prosternum seems to vary in the 
different sexes in the same way. In any case, the differences between’ the Central- 
American and the Brazilian examples seem to me to be of too slight a character to 
justify their separation. Specimens from San Gerénimo differ in having the antenne 
almost entirely fulvous and the elytra more strongly punctured ; but these details vary 
in the different individuals.
