UROPLATA. 117 
Hab. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 3000 to 4000 feet, Bugaba 800 to 1500 feet 
(Champion). 
Head very finely granulose, the front only slightly produced between the eyes. Antenne 
gradually thickened towards the apex, rather longer than the head and thorax, robust 
in the male, rather more slender in the female; the two lower joints equal, submonili- 
form, the third obconic, rather shorter than the preceding two united. Thorax trans- 
_ verse ; sides straight and nearly parallel from the base to the middle, sometimes slightly 
- sinuate, thence rotundate-angustate to the apex, the anterior angle armed with a strong 
obtuse tooth ; disc transversely convex on the sides and apex, broadly depressed and 
excavated on its hinder surface, coarsely and strongly foveolate-punctate, the punctures 
scattered .on the anterior disc, more crowded behind the middle. FElytra oblong; sides 
- nearly parallel before the middle, thence gradually dilated to the posterior angle, finely 
serrulate, the posterior angle abruptly produced into a flattened subtriangular obtuse 
plate; apices obtusely truncate, the margins, together with the hinder edge of the 
lateral plate, coarsely serrate ; upper surface opaque, finely granulose ; each elytron at its 
extreme base with eleven, at the extreme apex with six or seven, and on the rest of its 
surface with ten, rows of punctures; second and fourth interspaces strongly costate, 
laterally sinuate, the inner costa obsolete at its base; the basal portion of the sixth, 
and the entire eighth interspace, moderately elevated. Legs thickened; tibiae com- 
pressed, the outer edge of the anterior pair subcristate, the intermediate pair curved.

Hab. Mexico 1. 
This species is nearly allied to, and probably identical with, U. excisa, described in 
the present work (antea, p. 111), but without comparison of the types it is impossible 
to decide the point. 
42, Uroplata crassicornis. 
Uroplata crassicornis, Chapuis, loc. cit. p. 28°. 
Hab. t Mexico 1.—Brazit. 
Dr. Chapuis has, I think, given the wrong locality for this species; all the specimens 
that I have seen (from various sources) were labelled Brazil. 
The three following species are unknown to me :—
