COPTOCYCLA. 193 
narrowly edged with sanguineous, the punctures on the outer part of the disc coarser 
and more remote from each other. A specimen from Rio Hondo is figured. 
17. Coptocycla atalanta. (Tab. X. fig. 14.) 
Coptocycla atalanta, Boh. Monogr. Cassid. iv. p. 416°. 
Hab. Mexico, San Andres Tuxtla and Playa Vicente, both in Vera Cruz (Sallé*), 
Misantla (Hoge), Teapa in Tabasco (H. H. Smith); British Honpuras, R. Hondo 
(Blancaneaux) ; Guatema.a, Senahu in Vera Paz (Champion). 
Apparently confined to the Atlantic slope. This species again is closely allied to 
C. opulenta, Boh.; but it is smaller, with the annulus narrower (sanguineous, bordered 
externally with black), and the suture narrowly sanguineous nearly to the apex, the 
sutural stripe not ovately dilated below the base. ‘The third joint of the antenna is 
elongate. We figure a specimen from Misantla.

Var. 8. The elytra with the disc.testaceous or flavo-testaceous. 
Hab. Mexico !~3 (coll. Oberthiir), Teapa in Tabasco (H. H. Smith), Temax in North

Sent in plenty from Yucatan, about one-third of the specimens belonging to the 
var. a@ of Boheman—that is to say, with the disc of the elytra fusco-testaceous or

~ Not uncommon at Cordova and elsewhere in the Mexican State of Vera Cruz. The 
antenne are elongate and slender, the third joint nearly twice as long as the second. 
The single specimen (immature) received from Tapachula has the prothorax almost 
immaculate. Our figure is taken from a male example from Cordova.
