268 PHYTOPHAGA.—SUPPLEMENT. 
very slightly prominent median lobe, without depression. 4. satellitia is of a more 
ovate shape than the examples I refer to H. cgnita. 
23. Haltica simplex. 
Obscure seneous or blue, the antenne and legs piceous or black; thorax in great part impunctate, the basal 
sulcus entire, the space behind it finely punctured; elytra rather strongly, closely, semi-regularly 
punctured. 
Length 1? line. 
Head impunctate, except for a few deep punctures near the eyes, the frontal elevations broad and not strongly 
raised, the carina also comparatively broad and distinct ; antenne extending to about the middle of the 
elytra, black, the terminal joints slightly thickened, the basal joints more or less stained with fulvous and 
gradually increasing in length ; thorax about one half broader than long, the sides rather strongly rounded 
at the middle, the basal sulcus distinct and extending completely across the disc, the latter smooth, a few 
fine punctures near the anterior angles, the space behind the sulcus also more or less distinctly punctured ; 
elytra with the shoulders rounded, finely and closely punctured, the punctures almost obsolete below the 
middle. 
Hab. GUATEMALA, Rio Naranjo, Paso Antonio (Champion); PanaMa, Bugaba, David, 
Tolé (Champion). 
Chiefly distinguished by the dull eneous or bluish colour, the comparatively broad 
frontal elevations and carina, and the finely punctured basal part of the thorax. 
Allied to H. ignita and H. forreri; the latter, however, has a rather longer thorax, and 
more distantly and regularly punctured elytra. 
24. Haltica amicula. 
Oblong, narrowed posteriorly, metallic green ; thorax minutely punctured, the basal sulcus interrupted at the 
sides ; elytra minutely granulate and very finely punctured, narrowed posteriorly. 
Length 14 line. 
Of a not very bright metallic green colour; the head entirely impunctate, the frontal elevations broad, the 
carina much swollen; the antennex scarcely extending to the middle of the elytra, the terminal joints 
gradually thickened, the third and fourth joints equal, the basal joints more or less metallic green or 
cupreous ; thorax of equal width before and behind, about one half broader than long, the sides evenly 
rounded, the surface extremely minutely and closely punctured (the punctuation only visible under a 
strong lens), the basal groove narrow and abbreviated on each side; elytra narrowed at the base and 
apex, finely granulate, and a little more distinctly punctured than the thorax; underside metallic 
greenish, the last ventral segment of the male with a slight depression at the apex. 
Hab. Mexico, Ventanas in Durango (Fforrer). 
Closely allied to H. foliacea, Lec., but less parallel, the thorax not narrowed in front 
and with the basal groove distinct. 
25. Haltica elongata. 
Narrowly elongate, greenish-bronze, the basal joints of the antenne and the legs fulvous; thorax subquadrate, 
closely punctured, the basal sulcus almost entirely obliterated; elytra very closely and finely punctured. 
in semi-regular rows. 
Var. Antenne entirely fulvous. 
Length 2 lines.
