274 . PHYTOPHAGA.—SUPPLEMENT. 
Var. a. Legs entirely fulvous. 
Var. 6. Elytra with the lateral margins only flavous. 
Length 23-3 lines. ; 
Head broad, impunctate, flavous; antenne filiform, extending to the middle of the elytra, black, the lower 
two or three joints fulvous, the third and following joints equal; thorax transversely subquadrate, the 
sides rather rounded, the angles not prominent, the surface impunctate, fulvous, the base with an obsolete 
transverse groove, a short indistinct transverse depression near the anterior angles ; scutellum fulvous ; 
elytra flattened, parallel, black, very closely and rather finely punctured, narrowly grooved along the 
suture, the lateral and sutural margins and the epipleure more or less flavous ; underside and legs flavous, 
the tibie: and tarsi in some examples black ; last ventral segment of the male incised on each side. 
Hab. Mexico, Tuxtla, Santecomapan, Panistlahuaca, Playa Vicente (Sallé), Oaxaca, 
Cerro de Plumas (Hége) ; GuatemaLa, Duefias, Zapote (Champion). 
The Guatemalan specimens are generally of small size, and have the sutural margin 
very narrowly, the lateral margin more broadly, flavous. 
8. Cacoscelis nigripes. 
Black, the head and thorax fulvous; elytra black, closely and distinctly punctured; legs black. 
Length 23-3 lines. 
Hab. Guaremata, Zapote, Duefias (Champion) ; Costa Rica (Van Patten). + 
Extremely close to C. varians, and possibly a variety of that species, from which 
it only differs in having the antennae, elytra, underside, and legs entirely black. 
DISONYCHA (p. 304). 
Disonycha collata (p. 305). 
To the localities given, add :—Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
Some of the Mexican localities quoted by me belong to D. politula, Horn, and will 
be found mentioned under that species. 
5 (a). Disonycha maculipes. 
Flavous, the terminal joints of the antenne, a spot at the apex of the femora, and the tibiz and tarsi black ; 
thorax impunctate; elytra dark metallic blue, closely and distinctly punctured. 
Length 3 lines. 
Head with some deep punctures near the eyes, flavous, the frontal elevations indistinct, the labrum and palpi 
piceous; antenne not extending to the middle of the elytra, black, the lower three joints flavous, the 
fourth joint slightly longer than the third ; thorax transverse, the sides nearly straight, the anterior and 
posterior angles oblique, the surface impunctate, flavous; elytra dark violaceous or greenish-blue, very 
closely and rather finely punctured ; underside flavous ; legs fulvous, the apices of the anterior femora, a 
spot at the extreme apex of the posterior femora, and the tibie and tarsi, black. 
Hab. Mexico, San Miguel del Rio (Sallé), Cordova (Hége). 
The flavous head and thorax, the distinctly and closely punctured elytra, and the 
spot at the apex of the posterior femora distinguish D. maculipes from any of its 
similarly-coloured congeners; its size is also proportionately large.
