CEPHALOLEIA. 21 
Mas. Antennis articulo tertio trigonato; abdominis segmento anali late sed obsolete emarginato. 
Fem, Antennis ut in g; abdominis segmento anali apice utrinque sinuato. 
Long. 33-4 lin. 
Hab. Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
Head finely but not closely punctured ; face broadly but slightly excavated on either 
side just above the insertion of the antenne ; between these latter is a slightly thickened 
wedge-shaped fulvous patch, which extends from the anterior edge of the clypeus nearly 
to the vertex. Antennz with the basal joint thickened, subclavate, the second subovate, 
the third half as long again as the second, trigonate, its apex obliquely truncate. 
Thorax subquadrate; sides nearly straight and parallel [very faintly diverging in the 
male|, rounded and converging at the apex, anterior angle produced, obtuse; disc 
transversely convex, smooth and shining, remotely impressed on the sides and at the 
base with large round punctures (which are sometimes obsolete) ; medial line with a very 
faint longitudinal impression, which runs upwards from the basal margin for a greater or 
less extent on the disc. Scutellum subcordiform, very acute. Elytra parallel, somewhat 
flattened on the disc, rather abruptly deflexed on the outer margin; strongly punctate- 
striate, the strie sulcate; the interspaces thickened, those on the middle disc less 
distinctly so than those near the suture or on the outer margin, the pair between the 
sixth and eighth rows of punctures subcostate. 
The larger size, the produced anterior angles of the thorax, together with the strongly 
punctured nitidous elytra, at once separate C. bella from its allies. 
30. Cephaloleia quadrilineata. 
Anguste elongata, nitida; subtus cum capite nigra aut nigro-picea, facie inferiori, thoracis lateribus, pectoris 
medio, abdominis limbo externo, femoribus [apice exceptis] tibiisque intus, flavis; capite subcrebre 
punctato; antennarum articulo tertio trigonato; thorace subquadrato ; lateribus rectis, parallelis, angulo 
antice fere rectangulo, antrorsum non producto; disco levi, utrinque punctis magnis impresso (his punctis 
se@pe obsoletis) flavo, vitta lata discoidali, a basi ad apicem extensa (rarwus interrupta), nigra ; scutello 
elytrisque nigris, his parallelis, dorso deplanatis, opacis, tenuiter punctato-striatis, utrisque limbo laterali, 
vittaque discoidali, a basi ad apicem extensa, apice cum limbo connexa, flavis. 
Mas. Abdominis segmento anali apice truncato. 
Fem. Abdominis segmento anali apice rotundato, utrinque sinuato. 
Var. A. Elytrorum limbo laterali vittaque discoidali ante apicem abbreviatis.

Front finely and rather closely punctured. Antenne with the third joint half as long ” 
again as the second, compressed, trigonate. Thorax slightly broader than long; sides 
straight and parallel, anterior angle nearly rectangular ; disc smooth and shining, coarsely 
punctured on the sides (in some specimens these punctures being nearly obsolete); a 
broad discoidal vitta, extending from the base to the apex, black. Elytra parallel, flat- 
tened on the disc, abruptly deflexed on the sides, finely granulose, opaque, very finely 
punctate-striate.
