CEPHALOLEIA. 23 
and broadly excavated on the sides, the rest of the surface impunctate. Elytra parallel, 
flattened on the disc, abruptly deflexed on the outer margin, minutely granulose, opaque. 
Separated from either of the two preceding species by the different emargination of 
the anal segment of the abdomen in the male. 
33. Cephaloleia suaveola. 
Elongata, nitida, nigra ; thorace, pectoris medio, abdominis lateribus, femoribus [apice exceptis] tibiisque subtus, 
fulvis; fronte inter oculos leviter concava, tenuiter subcrebre punctata; antennarum articulo tertio 
trigonato; thorace subquadrato ; lateribus rectis, apice rotundato-angustatis, angulo antico paullo pro- 
ducto, obtuso; disco levi,"plaga cuneiformi ad marginem adfixa, nigra aut nigro-picea; elytris parallelis, 
dorso deplanatis, opacis, tenuiter punctato-striatis, utrisque vitta angustata basi et apice abbreviata, 
fulva, instructis. 
Mas. Abdominis segmento anali apice leviter sed late sinuato. 
Long. 34 lin. 
Hab. Guatemaua, Purula in Vera Paz (Champion). 
Front slightly excavated between the eyes, finely but closely punctured. Antenne 
nearly half the length of the body, the second joint ovate, the third slightly longer 
than the second, trigonate, its apex obliquely truncate, its inner and upper angle acute. 
Thorax scarcely broader than long, subquadrate; sides straight and nearly parallel, 
rounded and converging at the apex, anterior angle rounded, slightly produced; disc 
smooth and shining. Scutellum much longer than broad, pentangular, very acute. 
Elytra parallel, flattened on the disc, opaque, very finely punctate-striate; the narrow 
fulvous line commences just below the basal margin, and terminates some distance 
from the apex of the elytra. Fulvous limb of abdomen broad, maculiform. 
C. suaveola differs from C. luctuosa, to which it-is closely allied, in the entirely black 
antenne, and in the fulvous limb of the abdomen. 
34. Cephaloleia consanguinea. (Tab. I. fig. 25.) 
Elongata, nigra, subnitida; thoracis inferioris lateribus, sterno, femoribus (apice exceptis) tibiisque anticis 
intus fulvis, abdominis disco piceo-fulvo; capite thoraceque nitidis, illo inter oculos crebre punc- 
tato, antennarum articulo tertio trigonato, hoc subquadrato, lateribus rectis et ad apicem rotundato- 
angustatis; disco levi, ad latera plus minusve punctato (punctis interdum obsoletis), fulvo, plaga trigonata, 
ad apicem adfixa, nigra; elytris parallelis, dorso deplanatis, opacis, nigris, utrisque vitta fulva, a basi 
fere ad apicem extensa, apice incurvata, instructis. 
Mas. Abdominis segmento anali apice leviter sinuato. 
Fem. Abdominis segmento anali apice rotundato, utrinque sinuato.

Front concave between the eyes, closely punctured. Antenne with the second joint 
short, ovate, the third half as long again as the second, trigonate, its apex obliquely 
truncate, its inner and upper angle acute. Thorax subquadrate, scarcely broader than 
long; sides straight, nearly parallel, rounded and converging at the apex; anterior
