PHYSONOTA. 1738 
Nine specimens. Closely allied to P. humilis, Boh., but of more ovate, more convex 
shape; the elytra in the male much wider than the prothorax, and in both sexes more 
rapidly narrowing posteriorly; the humeri are broadly rounded in the male. 
24. Physonota translucida. (Tab. IX. fig. 7,¢.) 
Physonota translucida, Boh. Monogr. Cassid. ii. p. 225", and iv. p. 252°; Cat. Col. Ins. Brit. Mus. 
ix. p. 102°, 
Physonota flaveola, Boh. Monogr. Cassid. ii. p. 226‘, and iv. p. 253°; Cat. Col. Ins. Brit. Mus. 
ix. p. 102°. 
Physonota plicata, Wag. Mittheil. Miinch. ent. Ver. i. p. 61’. 
Hab. Muxico1~ (Sallé, ex coll. Sturm; coll. Baly), Parada (Sallé), Amula in 
Guerrero (H. H. Smith). 
Apparently confined to Central and Western Mexico. As in P. attenuata, the 
females are more elongate and have more attenuate elytra than in the males. The 
specimens (¢ @ ) labelled P. ¢ranslucida and P. flaveola, Boh., in the Sallé collection, 
determined, I believe, by Boheman himself, certainly belong to one species. I have 
examined one of Boheman’s types (¢) of P. flaveola, kindly communicated by the 
authorities of the Berlin Museum. The prothorax (as in some of the allied species) 
usually has an oblique fold extending across the expanded margin from the obtuse hind 
angles to the disc, a character not mentioned by Boheman. 
A specimen from Parada, agreeing perfectly with one of Boheman’s types of P. flaveola 
in the Berlin Museum, is figured. 
25. Physonota eucalypta. (Tab. IX. fig. 8.) 
Physonota eucalypta, Boh. Monogr. Cassid. iv. p. 252°. 
Hab. British Honpuras, R. Sarstoon (Blancaneaur); Guatemaa (Sallé), Chiacam, 
Senahu, Chacoj, Sabo, San Joaquin, and San Gerénimo in Vera Paz, Aceituno (Cham- 
pion), Coban (Conradt) ; Costa Rica?. | 
This is a large species closely resembling Platycycla deruta, Boh.; but it is narrower 
than that insect, and has the elytra less deeply emarginate at the base, the base of the 
prothorax not nearly so obliquely truncate at the sides. 
26. Physonota maculiventris. (Tab. IX. fig. 9, ¢ .) 
Physonota maculiventris, Boh. Monogr. Cassid. ii. p. 229*, and iv. 253°; Cat. Col. Ins. Brit. Mus. 
ix. p. 102°. | | 
Hab. Mexico! (coll. Baly), Cordova (Sallé), Oaxaca (Hége), Chiapas (Mus. Brit.). 
In this species the tibie are obtusely dilated at the apex, a peculiarity not mentioned 
by Boheman, though he gives a similar character for the Mexican Omoplata maculicollis.
