Hab. Nicaraaua, Chontales (Janson) ; Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 2.000 to 3000 feet, 
Bugaba (Champion). 
Vertex and front smooth, impressed on the medial line with an oblong fovea. 
Antenne half the length of the body, filiform, the third joint longer than the preceding 
two united, slightly compressed. Thorax nearly one half broader than long; sides 
nearly straight and parallel from the base to the middle, thence converging and slightly 
rounded to the apex, the anterior angle armed with a short subacute tooth ; upper surface 
transversely convex, slightly depressed on the hinder disc, coarsely rugose-punctate, the 
medial line impressed with a fine longitudinal groove. Elytra nearly parallel, obsoletely 
dilated posteriorly; each elytron regularly rounded and entire at its apex, forming, 
conjointly with the opposite elytron, a subangulate emargination at the sutural angle ; 
outer border finely serrulate, the serratures more irregular on the apical margin ; each 
elytron with eight regular rows of punctures, the second, fourth, and sixth interspaces 
subcostate. 
ooo. Apices of the elytra conjointly rounded, entire. 
21. Uroplata clypeata. 
Elongata, subparallela, depressa, fulvo-flava ; subtus nitida, supra subopaca, pectoris lateribus abdomineque piceo 
tinctis ; capitis vertice antennisque nigris, pedibus nigro-piceis, femoribus subtus fulvis; clypeo tumido, 
disco superiori trituberculato ; antennis robustis, subcylindricis ; thorace transverso ; lateribus roturdatis, 
a basi ad apicem convergentibus, disco pone medium transversim excavato, subcrebre foveolato-punctato, 
utrinque vitta lata sublaterali nigra instructo ; elytris a basi apicem versus paullo ampliatis, apice rotun- 
datis ; distincte, margine apicali remotius, serrulatis; utrisque octo-seriato-punctatis, interspatiis secundo, 
quarto sextoque «qualiter sat valde costatis; vitta brevi humerali lineaque communi subscutellari,

Long. 34 lin. 
Hab: Mxxtco, Cordova (Sallé). 
Vertex impressed with a large deep fovea; upper half of the clypeus strongly thick- 
ened, its. apex trituberculate. Antenne robust, rigid, scarcely thickened towards the 
apex, the latter acute; joints subcylindrical. Thorax more than one half broader than 
long; sides rounded and bisinuate before the middle, armed at the apex with a short 
obtuse tooth; upper surface subcylindrical, strongly excavated transversely on the 
hinder disc, impressed with large, round, deep punctures; on either side within the 
lateral margin is a broad black longitudinal stripe, which extends from the basal 
margin nearly to the apical one. LElytra very slightly dilated towards the apex, the 
latter broadly rounded, entire; outer margin narrowly dilated, rather broader towards 
the apex, distinctly serrulate ; each elytron with eight regular rows of large transversely 
oblong punctures, the second, fourth, and sixth interspaces strongly and equally 
costate.
