98 PHYTOPHAGA.—SU PPLEMENT. 
21. Monachus quadriplagiatus. (Tab. XXXVII. fig. 12.) | 
Narrow, subcylindrical, black or fulvous, the basal joints of the antenna, the thorax and legs fulvous ; elytra 
dark bluish, a spot at the middle, and the apex, fulvous. 
Length ? line. 
Of cylindrical and parallel shape; the head impunctate, fulvous; antenne comparatively long and slender, the 
lower five joints fulvous, the others black and more or less thickened; thorax about one and a half times 
broader than long, fulvous, entirely impunctate; scutellum triangular, raised; elytra dark bluish, 
distinctly punctate-striate, the sixth and seventh rows only indicated by a few punctures, all the strie 
obliterated near the apex, the lateral interstices more or less raised, an elongate fulvous spot of variable 
size at the middle, and a more rounded one at the extreme apex ; prosternum broader than long.

Of this small and cylindrically shaped insect five specimens have been received ; 
these, although differing in the colour of the underside and legs, and in the size of the 
elytral spots, are apparently referable to one and the sume species. 1n one or two of 
them the pygidium, underside, and legs are fulvous, and in others these parts are 
nearly black; while in the specimen from British Honduras the median spot of the 
elytra is nearly connected with the apical one, so as to form a broad lateral band. 
22. Monachus flavipennis. (Tab. XX XVII. fig. 13.) 
Metallic greenish-black, the basal joint of the antenne fulvous; thorax finely punctured ; elytra flavous, 
strongly punctate-striate, the interstices minutely puvetured. 
Length 14 lines. ~ 
Comparatively broad and robust ; the upper portion of the head sparingly punctured, brassy-green, the lower 
part black ; labrum dark fulvous; antenne very short, not extending beyond the middle of the thorax, 
black, the first joint fulvous, the terminal joints thickened; thorax about two and a half times broader 
than long, the sides straight, deflexed in front, the surface finely and rather closely punctured, the punc- 
tures rather stronger at the base than anteriorly, with a shallow oblique depression on each side near the 
scutellum ; scutellum elongate, acutely pointed; elytra broad, scarcely narrowed posteriorly, the disc 
somewhat swollen near the scutellum, the surface bright flavous, rather strongly and regularly punctate- 
striate, the punctuation distinct to the apex, the interstices also impressed with a single row of fine 
punctures; underside and legs black with a brassy tint; prosternum much broader than long. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). <A single male specimen. 
Evidently allied to the Venezuelan M. hemichlorus, Suffr., but quite distinct. The 
thorax is brassy-green, and the underside and legs are also brassy in tint.

I can only refer doubtfully the three specimens from Central America to Suffrian’s 
species, as they agree in the principal points with his description; but they also show 
some differences amongst themselves. The general colour of the upper and undersides
