CEPHALOLEIA. 15 
17. Cephaloleia discoidalis. 
Subelongata, picea, nitida; pedibus fulvis; scutello, capite thoraceque nigris, hoc sat crebre punctato, apice 
anguste piceo-fulvo ; elytris oblongis, sat fortiter punctato-striatis, sordide fulvis ; vitta suturali, postice 
angustata, pone medium fere obsoleta, alteraque discoidali, brevi, pone medium posita, nigris, instructis. 
Fem. Abdominis segmento anali late sed leviter transversim emarginato. 
Long. 24 lin. 
Hab. Mexico, Orizaba (Sailé). A single specimen. 
Head very closely punctured. Basal joint of the antenne longer than the second, 
slightly thickened, second and third nearly equal in length (the rest wanting). Thorax 
slightly broader than long; sides straight and parallel, anterior angle produced into an 
obtuse tooth; disc transversely convex, more strongly but less closely punctured than the 
head. Elytra broader than the thorax, oblong; sides subparallel, their apices obtusely 
rounded; above moderately convex, slightly excavated and sinuate on the side below 
the humeral callus; surface rather strongly punctate-striate; the sutural vitta, com- 
mencing at the basal margin and dilated just below the scutellum, is from thence 
gradually narrowed to a short distance below the middle of the elytron, where it 
terminates in a narrow line which runs along the suture nearly to the apex. 
18. Cephaloleia dorsalis. 
Anguste oblongo-ovata, nitida, subtus piceo et nigro variegata; abdomine pedibusque flavis, tarsis piceo tinctis ; 
supra nigra, thorace subcylindrico, subcrebre punctato ; lateribus rectis, ad apicem anguste piceis ; elytris 
oblongis, apice rotundatis, modice convexis, sat fortiter punctato-striatis, vitta suturali subcuneiformi a 
basi ad medium extensa, basi angustata, nigra, ornatis. 
Mas. Abdominis segmento anali apice late emarginato, medio sinuato. 
Fem. Abdominis segmento anali apice truncato utrinque sinuato. 
Long. 2—24 lin. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba 800 to 1500 feet (Champion). 
Front between the eyes closely punctured. Antenne filiform, more than half the 
length of the body. Thorax slightly broader than long; sides straight and parallel ; 
disc subcylindrical, rather strongly punctured. Elytra oblong, moderately convex, 
rather strongly punctate-striate. 
19. Cephaloleia histrionica. (Tab. I. fig. 21.) 
Oblongo-elongata, nigra, nitida; pedibus flavis, coxis, genubus tarsisque nigris ; thorace quam longo vix latiori 
fortiter punctato, flavo, limbo anguste plagaque basali magna nigris ; elytris punctato-striatis, flavis, basi 
rufo-testaceis, vittis tribus, duabus externis basi abbreviatis, nigris, instructis. 
Mas. Abdominis segmento anali late transversim emarginato, medio leviter sinuato. 
Fem. Abdominis segmento anali leviter emarginato.
