312 PHYTOPHAGA.—SUPPLEMENT. 
Melsh., but differs from it by the very closely punctured thorax, the impunctate elytral 
interstices, and the colour of the antenne. Numerous examples. 
4, Psylliodes melanocephala. 
Black, the basal joints of the antennee obscure testaceous ; head impunctate ; thorax very minutely punctured ; 
elytra metallic dark blue, finely punctate-striate, the interstices impunctate. 
‘Length 14 line. 
Of elongate, subcylindrical shape ; the head black, entirely impunctate, shining; antenne with the lower three 
joints obscure testaceous, the others black, the fourth joint the longest; thorax nearly twice as broad as 
long, the sides rather strongly deflexed, straight, the anterior angles oblique, acute, the surface extremely 
finely and closely punctured, black, with a slight greenish gloss; elytra with feeble punctured strie, dark 
blue, the interstices flat and impunctate; femora and tibie black, the latter testaceous at their base, the 
tarsi obscure testaceous. 
Hab. Mexico, near the city (H. H. Smith). 
The single specimen obtained seems to be a female, the anterior tarsi showing no 
dilatation. | 
5. Psylliodes capitata. 
Below black ; the head and antenna obscure fulvous; the thorax obscure neous, closely punctured ; elytra 
blackish, moderately strongly punctate-striate, the interstices each with a single row of minute punctures ; 
the four anterior legs fulvous. 
Length 13 line. 
Head distinctly but not closely punctured, fulvous, with an eneous gloss; antenne dark fulvous, rather robust, 
the terminal joint distinctly emarginate on its outer edge ; thorax twice as broad as long, the sides straight, 
the anterior angles oblique, the surface closely punctured throughout, the punctures fine, slightly larger at 
the sides than on the disc; elytra with a slight bluish tint, elongate, rather finely punctate-striate, the 
punctures becoming still finer near the apex, the interstices each with a single row of very fine punctures ; 
the anterior legs entirely fulvous; posterior femora black, the extreme apex fulvous. 
Hab. Mexico, Chilpancingo in Guerrero (H. H. Smith). 
A single specimen. 
6. Psylliodes sublevis (?). 
Psylliodes sublevis, Horn, Trans, Am. Ent. Soc. xvi. p. 312°. 
Hab. Norra America, Utah .—MeExtico, Omilteme in Guerrero (H. H. Smith). 
A Psylliodes obtained by Mr. Smith at Omilteme agrees very well with Dr. Horn’s 
description of P. sublevis. It has the head almost impunctate; the thorax extremely 
finely and sparingly punctured on the disc, more closely so at the sides, and with a 
slightly raised central ridge (of this Dr. Horn makes no mention) ; the elytra finely and 
rather remotely punctured, the punctures becoming almost obsolete below the middle; 
and the four anterior legs and the posterior tibiz entirely fulvous. |
