216 PHYTOPHAGA.—SUPPLEMENT. 
length and structure of the antenne, and in the more produced anterior margin of the 
thorax, this latter in Choris being described as straight. 
1. Choris pubicollis. (Tab. XL. fig. 20.) 
Narrowly elongate, subcylindrical, blackish, above brownish- or greenish-gneous ; the basal joints of the 
antenne and the legs fulvous; thorax extremely closely punctured, the sides finely pubescent ; elytra 
strongly and closely punctured, transversely rugose at the sides. 
Length 13-12 line. 
Head broader than long, strongly punctured, and sparsely clothed with short whitish pubescence; eyes very 
widely separated, entire; clypeus transverse, not more closely punctured than the head, its lower edge 
concave-emarginate; labrum and palpi fulvous, the terminal joint of the latter subcylindrical, piceous ; 
antenns two-thirds the length of the body in the male, much shorter in the female, robust, black, the 
lower four joints fulvous, the basal joint short and thick (almost cylindrical), stained with piceous above, 
the second joint half the size, the following four joints nearly equal, the rest more thickened but elongate ; 
thorax strongly transverse, more than twice as broad as long, the sides very strongly rounded at the 
middle, entire, the anterior margin slightly produced in the centre, the anterior angles thickened but not 
produced, the surface extremely closely and rather finely punctured, the interspaces slightly rugose, and 
clothed with short pubescence at the sides; scutellum broadly ovate; elytra slightly wider at the base 
than the thorax, convex and subcylindrical, eneous, the disc much more strongly punctured than the 
thorax, the punctures arranged in irregular rows, the interstices here and there raised in longitudinal 
lines, transversely rugose at the sides; legs robust, fulvous, the femora incrassate ; tibie longitudinally 
carinate, widened towards the apex, the latter deeply hollowed; claws appendiculate ; prosternum strongly 
convex, narrowed at the middle and elongate, its base truncate. 
Hab. Mexico, Chilpancingo in Guerrero (Hoge, H. H. Smith). 
In general appearance this insect closely resembles a Spheropis, the antenne, thorax 
and its pubescence, as well as the shape of the prosternum, agreeing with that genus ; 
but it has the claws appendiculate (not bifid), and the species is therefore better placed 
in Choris. 
CLISITHERA. (To precede the genus Beltia, p. 128.) 
Clisithera, Baly, Journ. Ent. ii. p. 220 (1864). 
This genus belongs to the group Iphimeine, and as yet contains only a single species ; 
it is principally distinguished by the dilated intermediate joints of the antenne and 
the transverse thorax. 
1. Clisithera cerasina. (Tab. XL. fig. 21.) 
Eumolpus cerasinus, Perty, Del. Anim. art. Bras. p. 105, t. 21. fig. 5 (1832)’. 
Clisithera cerasina, Lefévre, Bull. Soc. Ent. Fr. 1884, p. xlv. 
Clisithera nigricornis, Baly, Journ. Ent. ii. p. 2217. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion).—Amazons?; Brazit, Bahia}. 
A single female specimen was obtained by Mr. Champion in Chiriqui; it differs 
from the type in having the first two joints of the antenne fulvous.
