the second. Thorax about one fifth broader than long; sides straight and parallel, 
converging at the apex; anterior margin sinuate on either side just within the apical 
angle, the latter scarcely produced, rounded; disc nitidous, sparingly impressed with 
large round punctures, the puncturing rather more crowded on the sides. Scutellum 
much longer than broad, pentangular, its apex very acute. Elytra moderately convex, 
rather strongly punctate-striate, the punctures piceous; the suture also narrowly edged 
with piceous. 
6. Cephaloleia antennata. 
Sat elongata, fulva, nitida; antennis extrorsum nigris; thorace transverso, lateribus rectis, ad apicem con- 
vergentibus, angulis anticis antrorsum productis, obtusis, disco sparse tenuiter punctato, medio fere im- 
punctato; elytris oblongo-elongatis, parallelis, distincte punctato-striatis. 
Mas. Antennarum articulis basalibus quatuor compressis, singulis angulo antico-interno in dentum acutum 
antrorsum producto; abdominis segmento anali concavo-emarginato.

Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 3000 feet, David (Champion). 
Four lower joints of antenne compressed, the inner and anterior angle of each pro- 
duced into an acute tooth; basal joint clavate, the following three short, equal in 
length, the second and third trigonate; four lower joints fulvous, the rest black. 
Thorax broader than long; sides straight and parallel, converging at the apex; the 
anterior angles produced, obtuse; disc finely and sparingly punctured on the sides, the 
medial space nearly impunctate. Elytra broader than the thorax, oblong-elongate, 
parallel, distinctly and regularly punctate-striate. 
Separated from C. corallina, Er., by its smaller size, less elongate form, and by the 
shorter second and third joints of the antenne.

Cephaloleia erichsonii, Baly, Cat. Hispide, p. 43°. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion).—CoLomBIa ! (coll. Baly, type). 
The specimens from the State of Panama are rather darker in colour than the type. 
8. Cephaloleia placida. 
Elongata, parallela, fulva, nitida; antennis, basi exceptis, nigris ; thorace subquadrato, levi, remote punctato ; 
elytris parallelis, tenuiter punctato-striatis. 
Mas. Abdominis segmento anali sat profunde concavo-emarginato; antennarum articulo tertio cylindrico. 
Fem, Abdominis segmento anali obtuse rotundato, medio truncato.

Antenne half the length of the body; joints cylindrical; the second one shorter than 
the first, the latter compressed. Thorax subquadrate ; sides straight and parallel ; 
anterior angle moderately produced, its apex obtuse; anterior margin concave; disc
