242 PHYTOPHAGA.—SUPPLEMENT. 
long, distinctly widened at the middle, the sides but slightly rounded at the base, more strongly so towards 
the apex, the surface closely and rather strongly but somewhat irregularly punctured, the disc reddish, the 
sides greenish-cupreous, semiopaque ; scutellum metallic greenish ; elytra narrowed at the base and apex, 
fusco-violaceous, finely punctate-striate, the interstices extremely finely coriaceous. 
Hab. Mzxico, Ventanas in Durango (orrer). 
More convex than P. varicolor, the thorax more transverse, the elytra differently 
punctured. A single specimen. 
8. Phedon multipunctatus. 
Dark eneous, the basal joints of the antennz, the lower part of the head, the sides of the thorax, the legs, 
and the last two abdominal segments flavous; thorax impunctate; elytra strongly and very closely 
punctured. 
Length 13 line. 
Of ovate, feebly convex shape; the head with a few minute punctures, rather deeply depressed between the 
eyes, the vertex dark seneous, the lower portion, labrum, and palpi flavous; antenns scarcely extending 
to the base of the thorax, the lower six joints flavous, the others black and strongly transverse; thorax 
transverse, the sides nearly straight, narrowed in front, the disc impunctate, blackish-eneous, the lateral 
portion with a few fine punctures, flavous, and with an obsolete fovea near the margin ; elytra widened 
towards the middle, strongly and extremely closely punctured in rows, with three or four indistinct 
longitudinal raised lines, the shoulders rather prominent; legs and the last two abdominal segments 
flavous; prosternum narrowed between the coxe. 
Hab. Mexico, Omilteme in Guerrero 8000 feet (H. H. Smith). 
A single specimen. The comparatively small size, the feebly convex shape, and the 
very close elytral punctuation separate P. multipunctatus from several somewhat 
similarly coloured species found in the more southern parts of America.

14. Plagiodera bis-tripunctata. (Tab. XLI. fig. 1.) 
Plagiodera bis-tripunctata, Duvivier, Comptes Rend. Soc. Ent. Belg. 1885, p. exviil!, 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui (Champion), Chiriqui’. 
Of this comparatively large-sized species very many specimens were obtained by 
Mr. Champion. The head has one spot, the thorax has seven, and the elytra have 
three spots, those on the latter placed in a triangle below the base; the general 
ground-colour is fulvous; the antenne and legs are partly or entirely black. In some 
specimens the thoracic spots are more or less confluent; in others the suture has a 
short black streak anteriorly. Common on bushes on the savanas in Chiriqui at an 
elevation of 4000 feet (Champion). 
15. Plagiodera viridimaculata. (Tab. XLI. fig. 2.) . 
Testaceous, the apical joints of the antenne and the tarsi black ; thorax impunctate ; elytra closely punctured, 
each with six metallic green round spots (1, 2, 2, 1). 
Length 2 lines.
