MONACHUS. 93 
Monachus semipunctatus (p. 41). 
To the localities given, add :—Muxico, Cordova (Sallé). 
Monachus sculptilis (p. 41). 
To the Mexican locality given, add:—Orizaba (Sallé), Tupataro in Guanajuato 
(Hoge). 
Herr Hoge obtained about twenty specimens of this species during his second expe- 
dition. MM. sculptilis may be known from the allied forms by its entirely opaque upper 
surface, this part being of a very dark bluish colour; the elytra, which are strongly 
punctured to the apex and have the interstices at the sides strongly convex, differ 
further from those of other similarly-coloured species in the more strongly transversely 
rugose and minutely punctured spaces between the punctures; the legs and antenne 
are entirely black, with the exception of the basal two joints of the latter, which are 
fulvous ; the underside is black, with a slight greenish tint; and the prosternum is 
finely punctured and much broader than long. 
12. Monachus bicolor.

The thirty specimens obtained by Mr. Champion at the above localities agree almost 
entirely with the description given by Suffrian of Fabricius’s species, with the exception 
of the colour of the head; the latter in all the Panama specimens is (as Fabricius 
states) fulvous like the thorax, instead of blue as described by Suffrian. I cannot, 
however, find the slightest difference in any other respect between the Panama speci- 
mens and Suffrian’s description of M. bicolor; and it is probable that specimens 
occasionally occur in which the head is bluish instead of fulvous. 
13. Monachus panamensis. 
Black, the lower part of the head, the base of the antenne, the thorax, and prosternum fulvous; thorax 
microscopically punctured ; elytra greenish-black, strongly punctate-striate, the interstices finely 
punctured.

Hab. Panama, Bugaba, David (Champion). 
This small species is no doubt closely allied to M. gemellus, Suffr., and M. bicolor 
(Fabr.), without agreeing sufficiently well to be identified with either or with any 
other Monachus described by Suffrian. The head above is generally bluish-black, and 
the lower part more or less fulvous (in one specimen the entire head is fulvous); the
