172 PHYTOPHAGA. 
Hab. Mexico!-* (er coll. Sturm), Tampico in Tamaulipas (Richardson), Cordova 
(Hoge), Acapulco (J. J. Walker), Tehuantepec (Sailé). 
Sent in numbers by Hége from Cordova. This species is very like P. caudata; but 
it has the elytra more coarsely punctured, more obtuse at the apex in the male, the 
sides forming almost a continuous outline with the prothorax, the hind angles of the 
latter not so obtuse. One of Boheman’s types.( 2), kindly lent by the Berlin Museum, 
is figured. 
21. Physonota limoniata. (Tab. IX. fig. 5.) 
Physonota limoniata, Boh. Monogr. Cassid. iv. p. 247°. 
Hab. Mexico, Ventanas in Durango (Hége), Omilteme in Guerrero (H. H. Smith), 
Mochitlan in Guerrero (Baron), Juquila (Sallé 1). 
A typical example from the Sallé collection is figured. P. limoniata is exceedingly 
like P. eucalypta, and only differs from it in having the prothorax marked with a short 
median streak and two small spots near the base, the latter sometimes with one or two 
additional marks behind them. 
22. Physonota humilis. (Tab. IX. fig. 4.) 
_Physonota humilis, Boh. Cat. Col. Ins. Brit. Mus. ix. p. 102*; Monogr. Cassid. iv. p. 251. 
Hab. Mextco12, Guanajuato, Peras, Juquila (Sallé). 
Specimens from Peras and Juquila, both in the State of Oaxaca, agree precisely with 
the type, which is here figured; those from Guanajuato are more or less immature. 
The short median streak on the disc of the prothorax behind is obliterated in four out 
of the eight specimens before me. 
23. Physonota ovipennis. (Tab. IX. fig. 6, ¢.) 
Ovate (3) or oblong ovate (2 ), rather convex, shining; dilute flavo-testaceous, the margins hyaline, the eyes 
and mouth black, the prothorax usually with a short fine blackish median streak before the base; the 
antenne black, joints 2-5 testaceous beneath ; beneath black, the prosternum, and sometimes the sides, 
narrowly, testaceous, the elytra with the base internally and the suture at the apex black; the legs 
testaceous. Antenne extending to a little beyond the base of the prothorax; the third joint elongate, 
much longer than the fourth. Prothorax about twice as broad as long, feebly bisinuate at the base, with 
the median lobe truncate or slightly emarginate, the sides very abruptly and obliquely converging 
anteriorly, strongly rounded behind, the apex rounded; the margins broadly expanded, concave, and 
reticulate; the surface smooth. Elytra subcordate (3) or ovate (2), considerably wider than the 
prothorax in both sexes, broader and shorter in the male than in the female, rounded at the sides and 
rapidly narrowing from a little below the base, the apices distinctly produced; the humeri broadly 
rounded in the male, obtuse in the female; the margins deflexed and reticulate, broadly expanded 
anteriorly, rather narrowly posteriorly ; the disc with widely scattered, very fine, subserially arranged 
punctures, the margins sparsely, irregularly punctate. Beneath smooth, the ventral segments with 
scattered fine punctures. 
Length 9-114, breadth 63-7 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Chilpancingo and Omilteme in Guerrero (H. H. Smith), Mochitlan in 
Guerrero (Baron).
