170 PHYTOPHAGA.—SUPPLEMENT. 
45. Chlamys multifasciata. (Tab. XL. fig. 10.) 
Dark fulvous, with a slight purplish tint; thorax with a central longitudinal and a lateral semicircular black 
band; elytra with a subsutural and a lateral short black band, the bands limited by strongly raised coste, 
the interstices deeply punctured; the breast with a black lateral stripe. 
Length 1? line. 
Head finely rugose, the vertex with a narrow black central stripe; antenne with the first joint fulvous (the 
rest broken off); thorax with the posterior portion only moderately raised and limited behind by a rather 
deep transverse sulcation, the raised portion with a ridge on each side at the top, the surface rather 
rugose, dark fulvous, the disc with a narrow black band, which extends from the top of the elevation to 
the anterior margin, and some irregularly distributed black punctures, the sides with a semicircular black 
band, the end of which extends to the lateral margin; elytra dark fulvous, with a slight purplish tint, partly 
shining, closely foveolate-punctate on the disc, with a deep sulcation near the suture, extending from the 
base to the middle, and an oblique lateral one below the shoulder, the sutural sulcation bounded on the 
inner side by a strongly raised ridge (the commencement and end of which is marked by a tubercle) and 
deep black within, and a trigonate tubercle near the suture close to the apex, the space between the first 
and second grooves occupied by reticulations which are divided by less strongly raised coste, the suture 
dentate throughout; the underside is impressed with shallow fovee ; the breast has a longitudinal stripe 
on either side, and there are two oblique stripes on the abdominal segments; pygidium with two spots 
at the base and two others near the apical margin ; tibiee with a small black spot at the middle. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion). 
In this species the bands of the thorax and of the elytra are placed within the 
grooves; the elytra have four longitudinal coste in the usual position, the spaces 
between the costz closely foveolate-punctate, and the suture dentate throughout. One 
specimen. 
46. Chlamys quadricarinata. 
Subquadrate, fulvous; thorax with seven obscure brown spots, its elevation with two ridges on each side, the 
surface granulate-punctate ; elytra with four very strongly raised coste and some transverse ridges, these 
surrounding excavate spaces, the latter remotely punctured; pygidium with a central and two lateral 
carinations. 
Length 12 line. 
Head rugosely punctured, the labrum and other parts of the mouth black; antenne with the lower joints 
fulvous (the rest broken off); thorax rather strongly narrowed anteriorly, the sides rectilinear, the disc 
moderately raised behind but with the elevation abruptly deflexed posteriorly, the latter with a strongly 
marked and a less distinctly raised ridge at the top (the inner one oblique, the outer one straight), the anterior 
portion with some very obscure tubercles placed in a transverse row, the surface entirely covered with 
deep punctures and of a pale fulvous-colour, marked with obscure, more or less longitudinal, dark brownish 
spots, three on each side and one at the top of the elevation ; elytra with a rather deep sulcation extending 
from below the shoulder towards the suture, four strongly raised coste (two running close to the suture 
and connected by a transverse ridge at the middle, these being more widely separated anteriorly than 
posteriorly and enclosing excavated spaces, and two in the usual position near and at the shoulder, these 
latter being joined to the others), and a strongly raised transverse lateral ridge, the latter placed in a line 
with the shorter subsutural ridge and sending off longitudinal cost towards the apex, the surface of a 
rather bright fulvous colour here and there marked with paler stains, the interspaces between the coste 
being darker and deeply but not very closely punctured; pygidium with a central longitudinal and a 
shorter lateral carina; underside and legs entirely fulvous, the former closely foveolate-punctate.
