110 PHYTOPHAGA.—SUPPLEMENT. 
few brown punctures, the eighth row interrupted near the middle by a smooth raised yellow transverse 
space, the complicated markings may be described thus—three transverse brown bands, one before and 
one below the middle (both widened at the suture), and one near the apex, these bands separating the 
yellow colour into differently-shaped spaces (five, more or less irregular, placed transversely across the 
base, four at the middle, six, longitudinal in shape, below the middle, and one, in the shape of a trans- 
verse spot, at the apex); pygidium yellow, with the margins and a central stripe brown; the under- 
side entirely flavous, or with the sides of the breast and the ventral segments spotted with brown ; femora 
flavous, marked with a piceous ring at the middle, their apices, as well as the tibiee and tarsi, brown. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
C. complicatus, of which male and female specimens were obtained by Mr. Champion, 
seems to be closely allied to C. maculipennis and C. irroratus; but may be at once 
known from either by the thorax having eight yellow spots—four placed along the 
anterior margin and four along the posterior margin. The pattern of the elytra will 
be best understood from our figure. 
Cryptocephalus quatuordecimpustulatus (p. 51). 
To the localities given, add:—Muxico, Acapulco, Tapachula in Chiapas (Hége) ; 
British Honpuras, R. Sarstoon (Blancaneaux); GuateMaLA, Zapote, Calderas, San 
Gerénimo, Purula, Chacoj, Sinanja, San Juan in Vera Paz (Champion) ; Costa Rica, 
Cache (Rogers); Panama, Bugaba, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). | 
Upon again comparing the specimens referred by me to C. 14-pustulatus with 
Suffrian’s description, I find that they do not at all agree with it in the sculpture of the 
elytra. Yet I cannot be mistaken as to the identity of the present species, it being 
the only one from Mexico so marked which reaches the length of 24 lines. Specimens 
contained in the collection of M. Sallé are labelled C. tesseratus (a synonym of C. 14- 
pustulatus) ; and another in the same collection, from that of Sturm, which is quoted 
by Suffrian, is labelled, in Sturm’s handwriting, C. 14-pustulatus. 
In the thirty specimens before me the elytra are punctured as follows :—The first 
subsutural row (not counting the short abbreviated sutural row) extends to below the 
middle, where it ends, the second row is joined near the apex to the ninth, the third 
and fourth and the fifth and eighth also being joined at the apex, the sixth and seventh 
are only indicated anteriorly by a few punctures, the eighth is interrupted below the 
shoulders and near the middle by a short row of transversely-placed punctures, which 
between them leave a smooth slightly raised transverse space, and the third, fourth, 
and fifth rows are closely approached at the middle, so that the other interstices appear 
much wider; of all this Suffrian says nothing, this author merely stating that C. 14- 
pustulatus may be separated from other allied species by the very finely punctured and 
regular striz, and by the want of a smooth transverse space (‘‘ Querunzel ”) below the 
shoulder. All the specimens from the State of Panama differ again from those from 
Mexico in having regularly-punctured strie (that is, the strie are not interrupted by a
