330 PHYTOPHAGA.—SUPPLEMENT. 
I have not seen a specimen of this species from within our limits, and the locality 
‘“‘ Mexico,” therefore, requires confirmation.

Hab. Mexico 2.—CotomsBia!2; Psrrv 3. 
Diabrotica difformis (p. 536). 
To the localities given, add:—Mexico, Teapa in Tabasco (H. H. Smith). 
Found in some numbers by Mr. Herbert Smith. 
Diabrotica setosa (p. 537). 
Mr. Herbert Smith has sent us specimens of this species from Teapa, and we are 
thus able to verify the original locality quoted by Baly. 
91(a). Diabrotica smithi. 
Black, above flavous; thorax strongly punctured; elytra very strongly and closely punctured, flavous, with a 
narrow sutural and a broader lateral stripe, the latter not extending to the apex, black; legs pale, the 
femora streaked with black above. 
Length 23 lines. 
Head fulvous, the vertex with a deep fovea and two small black spots; antenne extending to the middle of 
the elytra, black, the lower joints flavous at the base, the third joint much longer than the second, but 
shorter than the fourth; thorax twice as broad as long, the sides obsoletely angulate at the middle, the 
surface strongly and closely punctured, shining, the disc with a rather obsolete depression on either side ; 
scutellum black; elytra rather convex, much more strongly punctured than the thorax, the punctures 
deep and round, the suture narrowly black, the lateral stripe broader, commencing at the shoulder and 
not quite reaching the apex; underside black ; the femora above and the outer edge of the tibie, as well 
as the tarsi, more or less black. 
Hab. Mexico, Omilteme in Guerrero (Hl. H. Smith). 
A single specimen. Differs from the allied similarly-coloured species by the strong 
and close punctuation of the thorax and elytra. 
100 (a). Diabrotica peregrina. (Tab. XLIII. fig. 12.) 
Black, the basal and apical joints of the antenne pale; thorax quadrate, shining, black, nearly impunctate, 
without fovea; elytra flavous, the suture, and a broad fascia before and a narrower one below the middle, 
black; the base of the femora pale flavous. 
Length 13 line. 
Head impunctate, black; antenne only extending to the base of the elytra, the basal and the apical three 
joints testaceous, the first joint stained with piceous above, the others black, the third joint more than 
twice as long as the second; thorax quadrate, the sides straight, the surface smooth, shining, black, with 
a few very minute punctures; scutellum black; elytra strongly punctured in very close irregular rows, 
flavous, with a broad fascia before the middle (widened at the sides and not extending to the lateral 
margins), and a much narrower one near the apex, as well as the suture, black, the interstices sparsely 
pubescent; underside and legs black, the basal half of the femora pale testaceous.
