ZYGOGRAMMA. 251 
margin, and a shallower row of punctures near the suture, the latter and a broad stripe towards the sides, 
extending from the base to near the apex, dark fulvous, the rest of the disc and the lateral portion pale 
testaceous, closely marked with small blackish spots of irregular shape and size, the epipleurs testaceous ; 
underside and legs dark fulvous. 
Hab. Mxxico, Durango city (Hége), Soledad in Guerrero (H. H. Smith). 
I cannot recognize in this species Z. pustulosa or Z. guttaticollis (Stal), which are 
described as testaceous or eneous, with testaceous bands to the elytra, and also differ 
in some other particulars; possibly St&l’s descriptions are incorrect or taken from 
immature or discoloured specimens. 
In one example of Z. maculicollis the sublateral stripe of the elytra joins the sutural 
one at the apex. 
34. Zygogramma militaris. (Tab. XLI. fig. 10.) 
Dark fulvous, the apical joints of the antenne black; thorax deeply punctured at the sides ; elytra testaceous, 
a sutural stripe (narrowed at the base) and a broader stripe extending from the shoulder to below the 
middle dark fulvous, several spots near the scutellum, two rows of spots at the sides, and a very narrow 
stripe near the lateral margin, piceous or fuscous. 
Length 3 lines. 
Hab. Mexico, Ventanas in Durango (Hége). 
Similar in colour and markings to Z. durangoensis, and with the thorax similarly 
shaped and sculptured, but differing as follows :—The elytra (instead of having three 
spots placed triangularly near the scutellum) have two small spots at the base and 
several spots near the suture; the broad sublateral stripe (which in Z. durangoensis 
has its outer margin deeply concave) is of nearly equal width throughout, being only 
slightly sinuate towards the middle; the marginal stripe is absent, but is replaced by 
a very narrow brownish line which runs parallel with the epipleure. Several speci- 
mens, all agreeing in the above particulars. 
35. Zygogramma decempustulata. (Tab. XLI. fig. 11.) 
Dark fulvous; the thorax sparingly punctured on the disc, strongly so at the sides; elytra irregularly punc- 
tured, fulvous, the lateral margins, a spot placed at the middle on either side, and four irregular spots 
placed longitudinally near the suture, flavous, margined with fuscous. 
Length 3-33 lines. 
Head subremotely punctured; antenne fulvous, the terminal five joints black; thorax fulvous, strongly 
transverse, the sides considerably produced in front, the disc very finely and sparingly, the lateral portion 
very deeply punctured ; elytra with a subsutural and a submarginal row of punctures, the disc irregularly 
punctured, dark fulvous, the lateral margins flavous, each elytron with four irregular spots placed close to 
the suture—the basal one often rounded and enclosing a round spot of the ground-colour, but sometimes 
angular, the second before the middle, the third triangular in shape and placed below the middle, the 
fourth near the apex, irregularly ovate, and connected with the flavous lateral margin—and a small spot 
extending inwards from the flavous margin at the middle, all the spots and the margin surrounded by a 
piceous or fuscous line ; the epipleurz, the underside, and legs dark fulvous.
