186 PHYTOPHAGA.—SUPPLEMENT. 
reception. M. Lefévre has, however, lately placed (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1889, p. 330) 
C. minuta in Lamprospherus, for what reason I know not. In my opinion the insect 
cannot find its place in that genus, owing to its elongate shape and the thickened 
terminal joints of the antenne, the filiform antenne being one of the principal 
characters of Lamprospherus. If M. Lefévre’s view is adopted, the Lamprospherus 
described by me as minutus will require a new name. 
15. Chrysodina nana. 
Blackish, the labrum, antenne, and legs fulvous, above greenish-geneous ; the head remotely, the thorax finely 
and more closely, punctured ; elytra regularly punctate-striate, the punctuation diminishing towards the 
apex. 
Length 1 line. 
Of oblong and subcylindrical shape; the head finely and remotely punctured, the epistome more strongly 
punctate, the latter triangularly emarginate at its lower edge ; labrum fulvous ; antenne rather long and 
robust, fulvous, the terminal joint darker; thorax transverse, narrowed in front, the sides rounded, the 
anterior angles acute but not produced, the surface finely, evenly, and rather closely punctured ; elytra 
regularly punctate-striate, the punctures rather strong near the base, gradually becoming finer towards 
the apex, the interstices smooth ; prosternum broad, nearly quadrate. 
Hab. Mexico, Tapachula in Chiapas (Hége). 
I include this very small species in Chrysodina (although from its general shape it 
might almost equally well be placed in Noda), owing to its regularly punctate-striate 
elytra and broad quadrate prosternum. It differs from the closely-allied C. minuta, 
Jac., by the thorax being less transverse, more narrowed anteriorly, and more finely 
punctured, and by the elytral strie being more regular and less closely punctured. 
The general shape of the insect is also shorter and broader than in the allied species. 
16. Chrysodina pusilla. 
Oblong, blackish-sneous, above light bronze; antenne and legs fulvous; head and thorax rather strongly 
punctured ; elytra regularly punctate-striate, the punctures finer towards the apex. 
Length 1 line. 
Head minutely granulate, rather strongly punctured, with a transverse depression between the eyes; labrum 
fulvous ; antenne not extending to half the length of the elytra, fulvous, the second to the sixth joints 
short, equal, the terminal joints strongly thickened ; thorax moderately transverse, the sides rounded, 
narrowed in front, the surface punctured like that of the head, the punctures somewhat oblong in shape ; 
elytra oblong, subcylindrical, convex, the punctures coarser and of more rounded shape than those of the 
thorax, but becoming finer towards the apex, where they form single and remotely placed rows, the shoulders 
rather prominent and angular, the submarginal interstices convex; legs robust, fulvous, the basal joints 
of the front and middle tarsi much widened in the male; prosternum very broad, subquadrate, rugosely 
punctured. 
Hab. Panama, Tolé, Petia Blanca (Champion). 
This species resembles C. minuta, Jac., in colour; but in the latter the thorax is 
still more transverse, and its sides are more strotigly rounded near the apex. In 
C. pusilla the head is much more fitely and closely punctured than in C. minuta, and 
the thorax is minutely granulate; the antennee of the female generally have the
