HALTICA. 267 
20. Haltica marevagans. 
Haltica marevagans, Horn, Trans. Am. Ent. Soc. xvi. p. 226". 
Hab. Norra America, Sea-coast region from Florida to New Jersey 1.—MEexIco, 
Northern Sonora (Morrison). 
Sonoran specimens agree perfectly with an example kindly given to me by Dr. Horn. 
21. Haltica abdominalis, 
Reddish-fulvous, the terminal joints of the antenne, the posterior femora partly, the tibie and tarsi more or 
less, and the abdomen black ; thorax with the basal sulcus entire; elytra metallic blue, more or less 
regularly punctate-striate, the sides longitudinally depressed. 
_ Length 14-2 lines, 
Head impunctate, reddish on the vertex, flavous on the lower portion, the frontal elevations strongly raised, 
rather elongate ; antenn slender, the third and fourth joints equal, the lower three joints pale fulvous, 
the others black ; thorax narrowed at the base, the basal sulcus entire, the surface impunctate, reddish- 
fulvous ; scutellum fulvous; elytra with rather regular rows of punctures, which become much deeper 
laterally, the sides with a more or less distinct longitudinal depression, the apex nearly impunctate ; 
underside and the anterior femora flavous or fulvous, the tibie entirely or at the apex, the tarsi, the 
apices of the posterior femora, and the abdomen black. 
Hab. Mexico, Atoyac in Vera Cruz, Teapa in Tabasco (H. H. Smith); Guaremata, 
La Tinta in Vera Paz (Champion). 
H. abdominalis seems to be allied to H. burgessi, Crotch, from Florida; but differs 
by its larger size, the colour of the tibie and tarsi, and the punctate-striate elytra, this 
last-mentioned character giving it the appearance of a Diphaulaca. The blunt (not 
produced) anterior angles of the thorax will prevent its being mistaken for a species of 
that genus; there is also no depression whatever at the base of the elytra. The 
Guatemalan specimen is much larger than those from Mexico. 
22. Haltica satellitia. | 
Oblong-ovate, dark metallic blue; the thorax blackish, impunctate, the basal sulcus entire; elytra closely and 
finely punctured in rows. 
Length 13-1? line. 
Head impunctate, the frontal elevations and the carina broad; the antenn» robust, extending to beyond the 
middle of the elytra, black ; the thorax one half broader than long, not wider at the base than in front, 
the sides feebly rounded, the basal sulcus distinct, straight, and extending almost or entirely across the 
disc, the surface smooth except for a few punctures near the anterior angles, almost black; scutellum 
black ; elytra punctured in close and rather regular rows, which are distinct to the apex; underside and 
legs black with a slight bluish tint. . 
Hab. Mexico, Presidio de Mazatlan (Forrer), Jalapa (Hoge); GuatemaLa, Duefias 
(Champion). 
_ The nearly black and entirely impunctate thorax and the almost regular punctuation 
of the elytra (the punctuation varying, however, in depth in different specimens, but 
always distinct to the apex) distinguish H. satedlitia from the blue varieties of H. ignita, 
to which it is perhaps most nearly allied. The last ventral segment of the male hasa
