CEPHALODONTA. 35. 
Var. A (Tab. II. fig. 17) is larger, and paler in colour; the angular lobes on the sides 
of the thorax are longer and more acute, and occupy a larger portion of the surface; the 
anterior tibie are armed just behind the apex with a short tooth. These differences 
are probably sexual. 
The example from Pefia Blanca was captured by beating bushes in the open savanna 
country.

Hab. Guaremata, Sinanja in Vera Paz (Champion). 
Vertex smooth, impunctate ; front finely punctured, impressed with an oblong fovea, 
and armed between the insertion of the antenne with a minute tooth. Antenne scarcely 
half the length of the body, robust, filiform ; joints cylindrical, two lower ones short, 
equal, submoniliform, the third nearly equal in length to the preceding two united, the 
following three gradually decreasing in length ; the seven lower joints obscure rufous, 
stained with piceous, the four outer ones entirely black. Thorax conic; sides obliquely 
converging from the base to the apex, obsoletely and irregularly crenulate, apical angle 
produced anteriorly into a strong flattened subacute tooth; transversely convex, flattened 
and longitudinally excavated on the sides in front, closely covered with irregular foveolate 
punctures. Elytra much broader than the thorax; sides dilated posteriorly, apex 
obtusely rounded, the posterior angle acute ; upper surface slightly convex on the sides 
and apex, flattened on the disc; humeral callus laterally produced, subacute: each 
elytron with ten, at the extreme base with eleven, rows of large deep punctures; second 
interspace rather strongly, fourth, sixth, and eighth less distinctly, costate; fuscous- 
geneous, covered with a number of fulvous spots or patches irregularly scattered over 
the surface. 
Three examples were captured by Mr. Champion in the dense forest.
