Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 3000 feet (Champion). 
Vertex rather strongly punctured, impressed with a longitudinal fovea ; interocular 
space strongly produced, and, together with the lower face, rufo-fuscous. Antenne more 
than one third the length of the body, slightly thickened towards the apex; joints 
cylindrical, the two lower ones short, oval, the basal one being rather longer than the 
second, and the third nearly equal in length to the preceding two; five lower joints 
nigro-piceous, the rest obscure fulvo-rufous. ‘Thorax transverse ; sides nearly straight 
and parallel at the base, thence rounded and converging to the apex, the anterior angle 
armed with a small obtuse tooth; above transversely convex, transversely excavated 
just in front of the basal margin, strongly and closely punctured ; fulvous, a broad 
discoidal vitta black. Scutellum black. Hlytra subelongate ; sides parallel, finely but 
distinctly serrulate, the hinder angle produced laterally into a subtrigonate coarsely sculp- 
tured plate, the hinder edge of which is strongly serrate; apical margin obtuse, very 
faintly sinuate at the suture; each elytron at the extreme base with nine, before the 
middle with eight, and on the hinder disc with nine or ten, rows of large deep punc- 
tures; second, fourth, and sixth interspaces, together with the suture, costate ; nigro- 
eeneous, a small patch at the base of each elytron, two ill-defined fasciz (broadly 
abbreviated towards the suture, one placed before, the other behind, the middle), a 
transverse subapical patch, the apical margin, and the coste for the greatest portion of 
their extent, rufo-fulvous. 
_d. Elytra each with ten, at the extreme base with eleven, rows of punctures. 
o. Posterior angle of the elytron not produced ; apical margin 
more or less strongly spinose. 
29. Uroplata pascoei.
