40 PHYTOPHAGA. 
to the apex, bisinuate, distinctly angulate; upper surface closely rugose-punctate, 
obsoletely torulose on the sides and apex. Elytra as in C. erudita. 
Very nearly allied to C. erudita and found at the same localities; it is possibly the 
male of that species. I have thought it well, however, to consider it distinct, chiefly 
owing to the different form of the discoidal vitta on the thorax, and also to the different. 
relative lengths of the three lower joints of the antenne. 
13. Cephalodonta antennata. (Tab. II. fig. 25.) 
Elongata, dorso subdepressa, fulva, nitida ; pectoris lateribus, abdomine, femoribus posticis quatuor antennisque- 
piceis, harum articulis intermediis compressis ; thorace subconico, lateribus pone medium subangulatis,. 
anguste piceo marginatis, disco crebre foveolato-punctato, pone medium excavato; elytris subparallelis, 
apicem versus leviter ampliatis, apice obtuse truncatis ; angulo postico in spinam subtrigonatam, acutam,, 
- postice piceo marginatam, lateraliter producto; regulariter punctato-striatis, punctis piceis, interspatio 
quarto costato; pedibus sat elongatis. 
Long. 4 lin. 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 2500 to 4000 feet (Champion). 
Vertex smooth, impunctate; front impressed with a few deep punctures, the medial 
line with a longitudinal groove. Antenne more than half the length of the body; the 
two lower joints cylindrical, the basal one short, the second slightly longer, the third to 
the seventh compressed, quadrilateral, the third and fourth nearly equal, each longer 
than the two lower ones united, the fifth to the seventh gradually decreasing in length; 
four upper joints cylindrical, closely clothed with adpressed hairs. Thorax not broader 
than long; sides nearly parallel at the base, obtusely angulate behind the middle, 
thence converging and sinuate to the apex, and the anterior angle armed with an oblique, 
subacute, setiferous tooth ; above transversely convex, broadly excavated on the hinder 
disc, closely covered with large foveolate punctures. Elytra broader than the thorax ; 
sides nearly parallel, slightly enlarged towards the hinder angle [the latter dilated 
laterally into a triangular spinose process, the apex of which is produced directly back- 
wards, its outer margin being convex, and its hinder one concave], irregularly serrulate, 
and edged with nigro-piceous ; each elytron with ten, at the extreme base with eleven, 
rows of large deep punctures; the fourth interspace from the suture costate. 
14. Cephalodonta javeti. (Tab. II. fig. 24.) 
Cephalodonta javeti, Baly, Cat. Hispide, p. 160). 
Var. A. Elytris totis rufis. 
Hab. Mexico, San Andres, Tuxtla!(Sal/é); Guatemaua, Purula, Senahu, and Sinanja 
in Vera Paz (type and var. A., Champion). 
In the specimens from Guatemala the black colour occupies the hinder half of the 
elytra, the anterior half of the suture being also black.
