angle very slightly produced, its apex rounded; disc smooth and shining, sparingly 
punctured on the sides, the punctures sometimes obsolete; the wedge-shaped black 
patch varies greatly in size, in some examples being confined to the apical margin, in 
others extending backwards to the middle. Scutellum longer than broad, pentagonal. 
Elytra parallel, flattened along the disc, opaque, minutely granulose, very finely 
punctate-striate. | 
C. consanguinea, judging from the number of specimens collected at various localities 
by Mr. Champion, is abundant in Guatemala; it may be separated from its congeners by 
the fulvous disc of its abdomen, which character appears to be constant. The fulvous 
coloration of the hinder tibie varies greatly in extent in different individuals: in some 
examples it is entirely obsolete ; occasionally the anterior pair are more or less fulvous.

Cephaloleia vicina, Baly, Cat. Hispide, p. 55°. 
Antennarum [in utroque sexu] articulo tertio cylindrico, a basi apicem versus paullo ampliato. 
Hab. Mexico! (colls. Baly and Brit. Mus.*), Toxpam, Capulalpam, Cordova, Juquila, 
Oaxaca, Playa Vicente (Sad/é). 
This species may be at once known from any of the foregoing by the cylindrical third 
joint of the antenna, a distinctive character not mentioned in my original description.

The two specimens collected by Herr Hége have the elytra rather less strongly 
punctured ; in ali other respects they agree with the type. 
37. Cephaloleia fulvolimbata. (Tab. II. fig. 3.) 
Anguste elongata, subcylindrica ; subtus picea, nitida; supra nigra; thorace rufo, apice piceo tincto, subremote 
punctato; elytris parallelis, distincte sed tenuiter punctato-striatis, subnitidis, nigro-piceis, limbo laterali 
anguste fulvo. 
Mas. Abdominis segmento anali apice concavo, medio sinuato. 
Fem. Abdominis segmento anali apice leviter concavo.

Long. 13-1? lin. 
Hab. Mexico, Cordova (Saldé, var. A); GuaremaLa, San Juan, Chiacam, Cahabon,

* The type specimens in my own collection and in the British Museum were obtained from M. Sallé, and 
doubtless came from one or other of the localities above mentioned.
