CEPHALOLEIA. 17 
_ Front finely but not closely punctured. Antenne black or nigro-piceous, filiform, 
moderately robust; first and third joints equal in length, the second rather shorter. 
Thorax quadrate ; sides straight and parallel, anterior angle distinctly produced, obtuse ; 
upper surface strongly punctured, a longitudinal space on the middle disc impunctate ; 
apical margin, together with the anterior angles, narrowly piceous. Elytra narrowly 
oblong, flattened along the suture, rather strongly punctate-striate, the punctures stained 
with piceous. The piceous coloration of the under surface varies greatly in extent; in 
some specimens it is confined to the sides of the body, in others it extends over the 
whole breast and prothorax. 
This species agrees in general form with C. histrionica, but differs in coloration; the 
antenne are more robust, and the emargination of the anal segment of the abdomen in 
the female is different. 
22. Cephaloleia elegantula. (Tab. I. fig. 22.) 
Elongata, subdepressa, piceo-flava, nitida; supra nigra; antennarum articulo basali piceo; thorace profunde 
punctato, lateribus late flavis ; elytris elongatis, sat fortiter punctato-striatis, limbo laterali flavo. 
Mas. Pygidii apice obtuso; abdominis segmento anali angulato-emarginato. 
Fem. Pygidii apice angulato; abdominis segmento anali bisinuato, medio paullo producto. 
~ Long. 14-2 lin. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba, Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 3000 feet (Champion). 
Head finely and subremotely punctured. Antenne two thirds the length of the body ; 
joints cylindrical, the first distinctly shorter than the second, the third somewhat longer, 
the third, fourth, and fifth nearly equal in length. Thorax broader than long; sides 
straight and parallel from the base to beyond the middle, thence obliquely rounded and 
converging to the apex; anterior angle moderately produced, obtuse; hinder angle 
acute; upper surface impressed with large round punctures, which are crowded on the 
sides, more distant on the disc, the medial line almost impunctate. Elytra broader than 
the thorax, subelongate, parallel anteriorly, slightly converging behind the middle, 
obtusely rounded at the apex, obsoletely angulate-emarginate at the suture in the 
female ; moderately convex, slightly flattened along the suture, rather strongly punctate- 
striate, the punctures less strongly impressed behind the middle in the male. | 
23. Cephaloleia lateralis. 
Anguste oblongo-ovalis, subdepressa, nitida; subtus pallide picea, pectore nigro-tincto, pedibus flavis; supra 
flava, scutello antennisque nigris, harum articulis primo et ultimo piceis ; thorace transverso, sat fortiter 
punctato, vitta lata discoidali nigro-picea; elytris oblongis, apice rotundatis, margine apicali obsolete 
_ serrulato, nigro-piceis, limbo externo flave. 
Mas.. Abdominis segmento anali sinuato. 
Long. 2 lin. 
. Hab. GUATEMALA, Panima in Vera Paz (Champion). A single example.
