116 PHYTOPHAGA.—SUPPLEMENT. 
This small species is of cylindrical shape, and may be known from its allies by the 
piceows or greenish sutural stripe, which in one specimen, however, is very obscure. 
Only two examples were obtained. |

48. Cryptocephalus juquilensis. (Tab. XXXVIII. fig. 1.) 
Broadly ovate, short and robust, fulvous; thorax black, with five large fulvous spots, minutely punctured ; 
elytra finely punctate-striate, black, a large transverse band at the middle and the apex flavous. 
Length 2 lines. 
Head fulvous, impressed with a few fine punctures and a short central groove, the clypeus rather deflexed and 
darker; labrum flavous, raised ; eyes widely separated ; antenne with the basal four joints fulvous (the 
other joints broken off); thorax at the base nearly two and a half times broader than long, convex and 
widened at the middle, the sides slightly rounded, the surface extremely minutely granulate and punc- 
tured (or finely wrinkled, when seen under a strong lens), black, the middle portion of the anterior 
margin, the sides, and two spots at the base, pale fulvous (or pale fulvous, the disc occupied by a large 
N-shaped black mark from each side of which a branch extends upwards to the anterior margin); scutellum 
scarcely longer than broad, black, stained with fulvous in the middle, and with the usual groove at the 
base ; elytra broad, not very convex, slightly narrowed posteriorly, the punctuation fine, the punctures 
(as well as the rows themselves) widely separated, but becoming much closer near the apex, the eighth row 
interrupted for a long distance near the middle (the impunctate space, however, not raised nor bounded 
by transversely placed punctures), the black portion interrupted by a broad transverse flavous band at 
the middle (not quite extending to the suture and constricted in the centre by a protruding point of the 
black band separating it from the apical spot), and the apex occupied by a large round flavous spot 
(surrounded by the narrow black apical margin); underside and legs fulvous; the prosternum flavous, 
produced anteriorly in the middle and very strongly so at the posterior angles into an acute point. 
Hab. Mexico, Juquila (Hoge). A single specimen. 
49, Cryptocephalus septempunctatus. (Tab. XX XVIII. fig. 2.) . 
Pale fulvous, the antenne (the basal joints excepted), the apices of the femora, and the tibie and tarsi black ; 
thorax closely punctured, with a central black spot; elytra finely punctate-striate, fulvous or flavous, each 
with two spots at the base and one below the middle, black, the striz interrupted below the shoulder. 
Length 14 line. 
Head impunctate, pale fulvous, the eyes closely approached, the clypeus wedge-shaped, the mandibles black ; 
antenne slender, two-thirds the length of the body, the basal four joints obscure fulvous; thorax scarcely 
twice as broad as long, the anterior portion scarcely, the sides but moderately, deflexed, the latter straight 
at the base, but little rounded, and narrowed in front, the surface with a rather deep transverse groove in 
front of the anterior margin, rather strongly and closely punctured, and with a central rounded black spot ; 
scutellum not longer than broad, without a basal fovea, fulvous, margined with black; elytra distinctly 
punctate-striate, the first stria extending to beyond the middle, the sixth and seventh stria interrupted 
below the shoulder by a transverse row of punctures and a little lower down by a similar row (including 
a transverse, but not raised,’smooth space), all the striz more finely impressed below the middle, the 
interstices also impressed with minute punctures, the black spots arranged thus—two at the basal margin, 
placed transversely (one at the shoulder, the other near the scutellum), and a similar one immediately 
below the middle (halfway between the lateral and sutural margin); pygidium and underside flayous or 
pale fulvous; legs black, the femora fulvous at the base ; prosternum longer than broad. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
50. Cryptocephalus tricostatus. 
Obscure fulvous or testaceous, the apical joints of the antenne fuscous ; thorax entirely impunctate, subopaque,
