174 PHYTOPHAGA.—SUPPLEMENT. 
closely granulate and punctured; the thorax is much more transverse, being, at the 
base, more than three times as broad as long, and is impunctate at the sides and finely 
punctured at the middle; the elytra have their interstices finely scratched or aciculate, 
and the golden-cupreous band at the apex is shorter and narrower; and the prosternum 
is narrower and much more strongly punctured. 
Lamprosoma hypochryseum (p. 92). 
A specimen obtained by Herr Hége at Cuernavaca during his second expedition 
differs from the typical form in being of a greenish-blue colour above, and in having 
the elytra more strongly punctured. 
Lamprosoma gratum (p. 92). 
A specimen lately received from Northern Yucatan (Gauwmer) differs from Lacor- 
daire’s description in having the prosternum scarcely one half longer than broad: 
Lacordaire gives the length as at least twice as long as broad, which, I think, is 
erroneous. | 
Lamprosoma chapuisi (p. 92). 
To the locality Panama, add :—vVolcan de Chiriqui, Boquete, Caldera (Champion). 
Specimens from these additional localities differ from the type in the greater extent 
of the metallic colour of the thorax; in some of them the tarsi show a slight metallic 
gloss. 
Lamprosoma insigne (p. 94). : 
To the Mexican localities given, add :—Chilpancingo in Guerrero (Hoge, H. H. Smith). 
Lamprosoma opulentum (p. 94). 
To the locality Mexico, add:—Tonila in Colima (Hoge). 
The Mexican locality “ Juquila” proves to be erroneous; it refers to a very closely 
allied species, L. tmitans, Jac. Of the true L. opulentum, two examples only are 
contained in the Sallé collection (both formerly belonging to that of Sturm and 
labelled by him LL. superbum), and a third has been found at Tonila by Herr Hoge; 
these specimens agree well with Lacordaire’s description, although in one the thoracic 
blue spot is narrowly transverse and undivided. JI must further add that in these 
examples the head has a triangular depression at its lower portion, a character not 
mentioned by Lacordaire.
