130 PHYTOPHAGA.—SUPPLEMENT. 
Suffrian had only such specimens for his type. All other characters and the pattern of 
the thorax and elytra agree with the author’s description, and the Panama specimens 
are, no doubt, local varieties of S. 17-guttatus. 
21. Scolochrus robustus. (Tab. XX XVIII. fig. 14.) 
@. Broad and robust, dark fulvous, the labrum and scutellum, the abdomen partly, and the legs flavous; 
thorax very sparingly punctured ; elytra finely punctate-striate. 
Length 4 lines. 
Hab. Guatemata, Panzos in Vera Paz (Conradt). 
In general shape this species is very broad and robust. The head is impressed with 
a few fine punctures on the vertex and some deeper ones at its lower portion; the 
antenne are black, the lower three joints fulvous. The thorax is suddenly narrowed 
from the middle to the apex, and very minutely and sparingly punctured on the disc; 
the sides are impressed with a rather deep oblique groove which is more strongly 
punctured than the rest of the surface; and at the base are two obscure flavous 
spots. The scutellum is entirely flavous. The elytra are entirely dark fulvous; 
the region round the scutellum is distinctly raised, this elevation being followed by a 
transverse depression, and there are two other deep depressions on the basal margin ; 
the punctures are fine but distinct to below the middle, and deeper within the different 
depressions. ‘The pygidium and the abdomen are flavous, the intermediate segments of 
the latter and the breast being brown. The anterior femora are brown, and have a 
flavous spot at the apex; the rest of the legs and the prosternum are also flavous. 
22. Scolochrus brunneo-fasciatus. 
Q., Broad and robust, flavous; head pale, the thorax dark fulvous, both minutely punctured ; elytra very finely 
punctate-striate, yellow, with a broad transverse dark brown band at the middle, the band surrounding 
the shoulders ; underside clothed with short golden pubescence. 
3. Var. Smaller, entirely fulvous, the base of the elytra paler. 
Length 3 lines. 
g. Head closely punctured below the eyes, the latter approximate ; antenne with the basal two joints fulvous, 
the following three joints piceous, shining, the rest black, opaque; thorax three times as broad as long, 
abruptly narrowed from the middle to the apex, the surface finely and not very closely punctured ; elytra 
finely punctate-striate, the stri rather regular and distinct below the middle; the underside clothed with 
short golden-yellow pubescence. 
Q. Broader; the elytra flavous, with a broad transverse central brown band, the anterior edge of this band 
angulate near the middle, the posterior edge straight. 
Hab, Panama, Bugaba in Chiriqui (Champion). 
The two specimens received differ much inter se, though they evidently represent the 
sexes of the same species. The male example is, no doubt, a variety in which the 
basal margin of the elytra only remains yellow. In punctuation and in the golden- 
yellow pubescence of the under surface the two specimens agree. The lower part of 
the head in the male is also clothed with golden pubescence. S. brunneo-fasciatus
