208 PHYTOPHAGA.—SUPPLEMENT. 
punctured, the labrum fulvous, the palpi flavous; antennz nearly as long as the body in the male, the 
five or six lower joints pale flavous, the others fuscous; thorax transverse, the sides but slightly rounded, 
narrowed towards the apex, the angles obtuse, the surface very closely and finely punctured, piceous, with 
a more or less distinct greenish gloss; elytra not wider at the base than the thorax, and of the same 
colour, nearly parallel, the punctures closely and irregularly placed anteriorly, but arranged in double 
rows towards the apex, the interstices costate ; femora unarmed; the first joint of the posterior tarsi as 
long as the following three joints united. 
Hab. Mexico, Northern Sonora (Morrison), Chilpancingo in Guerrero, Puente de 
Ixtla in Morelos (H. H. Smith), Iguala in Guerrero (Hége). 
Smaller and less elongate in shape than its congeners, and piceous in colour. The 
thorax is much more finely punctured than in £. simplex; and the elytral interstices 
are more or less raised (especially in the specimens from Chilpancingo and Puente de 
Ixtla, these also having the punctuation more distinctly arranged in double rows). In 
some of the females the antenne and legs are nearly black. The male insects are 
generally smaller, pale brown in colour, and have each joint of the antenne furnished 
below with a long, stiff, whitish bristle (this can be seen only in certain lights, and not 
in all specimens). 
Euphrytus fulvicollis (p. 126). 
A renewed examination of the specimens referred to HL. fulvicollis has convinced me 
that they do not all belong to the same species; the type has only been obtained at 
Cuernavaca, the other localities should be erased and transferred to the following closely 
allied form which I now describe under the name of E. varipennis. The insect figured 
under the name of E£. fulvicollis is also referable to E. varipennis. 
5. Euphrytus varipennis. (£. fulvicollis, Tab. VIII. fig. 19.) 
Euphrytus fulvicollis, huj. op. p. 126 (pars). 
Bluish-black, the head, thorax, and legs fulvous; thorax impunctate; elytra very finely geminate-punctate- 
striate, dark blue, violaceous, or green, scarcely shining; femora unarmed. 
Length 2-23 lines. 
Hab. Mexico, Puebla, Capulalpam, Juquila, Oaxaca (Sallé), Orizaba (Flohr), Xucu- 
manatlan in Guerrero (H. H. Smith). 
E. varipennis differs in the following particulars from E. fulvicollis :—The antenne 
are black, with the exception of the basal two or three joints, which are fulvous; the 
elytra (instead of being finely and closely punctured in rows) are very finely geminate- 
punctate-striate, and have the interstices slightly convex ; and the femora are not dilated 
into a tooth. An example from Guatemala (Sal/é), of smaller size and with long and 
slender antenne, is perhaps the male of the same species; this specimen has the elytra 
more shining and with fine irregular rows of double punctures, and the tarsi black ; it 
is possible that it belongs to yet another species.
