266 PHYTOPHAGA.—SUPPLEMENT. 
3. Hemiphrynus sulcatipennis. (Tab. XLI. fig. 24.) 
Black, the head, the basal joints of the antenne, the thorax, and legs fulvous; thorax with the basal sulcus 
very feeble ; elytra dark violaceous, closely punctured, the sides with a deep longitudinal groove. 
Length 14—13? line. 
Head somewhat rugosely punctured near the eyes, with a more or less distinct central ridge, the frontal 
elevations small but distinct, the carina short and feeble; palpi fulvous, the apical joint fuscous, acute ; 
antennz nearly two-thirds the length of the body, black, the basal four joints fulvous, the fourth joint 
distinctly longer than the third; thorax transverse, the sides rather strongly rounded, the angles not 
prominent, the surface very minutely and sparingly punctured, the basal sulcus only indicated towards 
the sides, shallow, not extending across the entire disc; scutellum black; elytra very closely and finely 
punctured, dark violaceous, shining, the sides with a deep longitudinal depression commencing below the 
shoulders and terminating at some distance from the apex; the breast and abdomen violaceous-black, the 
legs fulvous. 
Hab. Mexico, La Parada (Sallé), Omilteme in Guerrero (H. H. Smith). 
In the shape of the thorax and its obsolete transverse basal depression, in the un- 
grooved tibie, and in the system of coloration, this species agrees with Hemiphrynus. 
The elytra have a deep lateral depression in both sexes. 
HALTICA (p. 294). 
Haltica guatemalensis (p. 297). 
To the locality given, add:—Mexico, Northern Sonora (Morrison). 
The specimens from Sonora merely differ from the Guatemalan ones in being entirely 
blue in colour and in having the elytral coste obsolete. 
18. Haltica foliacea. 
Haltica foliacea, Lec. Proc. Ac. Phil. ix. p. 86°; Horn, Trans. Am. Ent. Soc. xvi. p. 2287. 
Hab. Norta America, Texas!?, New Mexico?, Arizona 2,—Mexico, Guanajuato, 
Orizaba (Sal/é). 
A North-American specimen kindly given to me by Dr. Horn agrees very nearly 
with those from Mexico; but in the latter there are scarcely any punctures near the 
eyes, and the fourth joint of the antenne is slightly longer than the third, these joints 
being equal in length in the type. 
19. Haltica ignita. 
Haltica ignita, lig. Magaz. vi. p. 117°; Horn, Trans. Am. Ent. Soc. xvi. p. 221%. 
Hab. NortH America, Pennsylvania!, Hudson’s Bay region to New England States 
south to Texas and Florida \—Mexico, Atoyac in Vera Cruz (H. H. Sn ith). 
I refer some specimens of a blue Haltica obtained by Mr. Smith at Atoyac to this 
species. H. ignita seems to have a remarkably wide distribution.
