200 PHYTOPHAGA.—SUPPLEMENT. 
thorax about twice as broad as long, narrowed in front, the sides but slightly rounded, the surface minutely 
granulate, opaque, with remotely-placed extremely fine punctures (only visible under a strong lens) ; 
scutellum broader than long; elytra with regular rows of fine and rather closely placed punctures, the 
shoulders prominent but narrow, the base with a very obsolete depression, the punctures at the sides 
much stronger than those on the disc ; femora dark wneous, the tibie entirely (or partly) fulvous. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba, David, San Lorenzo (Champion). 
The small size, the dark opaque violaceous colour, and the almost impunctate thorax 
separate WV. parvula from its many congeners. A specimen from Bugaba, which I take 
to be the female of the same species, has an elongate tubercle placed parallel with and 
close to the shoulder and a transversely-shaped similar tubercle below it; in this 
example the terminal joints of the antenne and the tibie are dark. 
26. Noda cyanella. 
Oblong, pointed posteriorly, obscure eneous; above dark blue; the antenne and legs fulvous; thorax trans- 
verse, short, closely punctured; elytra very closely and rather irregularly punctured, the interstices at 
the apex subcostate. 
Length 1? line. 
6. Head strongly and rather closely punctured; the mandibles piceous ; the palpi fulvous, their terminal 
joint very elongate and subcylindrical ; antenne extending to the middle of the elytra, entirely fulvous ; 
thorax short, transverse, more than twice as broad as long, the sides evenly rounded, the anterior angles 
slightly produced, the surface extremely finely granulate and closely impressed with punctures of unequal 
size, the punctures more crowded at the sides than on the disc, the interspaces also here and there minutely 
- punctate; scutellum broader than long, its disc impressed with a few minute punctures; elytra very 
closely punctured, the punctuation stronger than that of the thorax, with a narrow smooth longitudinal 
space near the suture, the interstices towards the apex slightly costate, those at the sides somewhat rugose ; 
legs entirely fulvous. 
Hab. Mexico, Oaxaca (Sallé). 
NN. cyanella, of which only a single male specimen is before me, may be known by 
the very close and almost rugose punctuation of the thorax and elytra, the punctures 
on the latter scarcely arranged in rows; the fulvous antenne and legs will further 
assist in the recognition of the species. 
27. Noda acutangula. 
Blackish-ezneous, above metallic green or bluish; antenne and legs fulvous; head and thorax closely punc- 
tured, the anterior angles of the latter dentiform ; elytra strongly and closely punctate-striate. 
Length 1? line. 
Of rather broad, posteriorly pointed shape ; head strongly and rather closely, the vertex more finely, punctured ; 
antenne extending nearly to the middle of the elytra, entirely fulvous, the terminal joints much thickened ; 
thorax rather strongly transverse, the sides evenly rounded, narrowed anteriorly, the angles produced into 
a short but distinct acute point or tooth, the surface rather closely impressed with punctures of unequal 
size; scutellum broader than long, with a few fine punctures; elytra more coarsely punctured than the 
thorax, the punctures arranged in close and rather regular rows; legs fulvous or rufous. 
Hab. Mexico, Silao (Sallé), Zacualtipan in Hidalgo (Hége). 
Of this species (which may be distinguished from most others from our region with 
fulvous antenne and legs by the produced angles of the thorax) three specimens are
