156 PHYTOPHAGA.—SUPPLEMENT. 
greenish-plumbeous, opaque, finely punctured, without elevations; elytra with the basal portion blackish 
and finely rugose, the rest bluish and finely punctured and shining. 
Length 23 lines. 
Of subquadrate, robust, and very convex shape; the head minutely punctured, the vertex with an opaque 
greenish spot, the rest ferruginous ; mandibles black ; antenne not extending to the base of the thorax, 
dentate from the third joint, entirely fulvous; thorax transversely convex, the convexity even, without 
callosities, the basal margin on either side of the median lobe strongly oblique, and thence to the posterior 
angles sinuate, the surface dark greenish, velvety in appearance, impressed with minute punctures, and 
clothed with very short silvery hairs; elytra very convex towards the middle, the apex of each broadly 
rounded, the basal portion finely rugose, rather closely punctured, blackish, and opaque, the posterior 
portion metallic bluish or purplish, more remotely punctured, and finely pubescent, a very short trafsverse 
ridge (only visible in certain lights) at the middle near the suture; pygidium rugosely punctured, ferru- 
ginous, with a large transverse greenish spot ; prosternum gradually narrowed posteriorly.

This species may be distinguished from C. amena by its robust shape and different 
punctuation ; the elytra have their posterior portion metallic, and some small, more 
shining, metallic spaces along the basal margin. One specimen. 
Chlamys pavonina (p. 76). 
To the locality given, add :—Mexico, Cordova (Sallé), Jalapa (Hége) ; GUATEMALA 
(mus. Stuttgart). 
Chlamys cinerea (p. 76). 
To the localities given, add:—Mexico, Chilpancingo, Juquila in Guerrero, Jalapa 
(Hoge), Teapa in Tabasco (H. H. Smith); British Honpuras, R. Hondo (Blancaneaua). 
Lacordaire, in describing this species, says that the head has a subquadrate eneous 
spot, and that the antenne are of half the length of the body: in more than twenty 
specimens which I have examined the head is entirely fulvous or ferruginous, without 
any trace of a spot, and the antenne do not extend beyond the base of the thorax, but 
are even much shorter. The examples from British Honduras are almost entirely black 
above, but they do not differ in other respects from those from Mexico. 
3 (a). Chlamys militaris. (Tab. XX XIX. fig. 17.) 
Head fulvous; thorax non-tuberculate, metallic greenish, finely punctured and pubescent, the posterior angles 
more or less fulvous; elytra finely punctured and pubescent, with two narrow tubercles near the suture, 
fulvous, the sides with a broad longitudinal metallic green band; pygidium, legs, and underside fulvous, 
spotted with greenish. 
Length 13 line. 
Hab. Guatemata, Las Mercedes (mus. Stuttgart). 
It is not improbable that this curiously-marked Chlamys is only a variety of C. cinerea ; 
the three specimens, however, before me agree with each other and no intermediate 
forms have come under my notice. C. militaris is comparatively shorter than C. cinerea,
