198 PHYTOPHAGA. 
Unknown to me. C. diana is stated} to be very similar to C. wesmaeli in form, but 
differently coloured. 
28. Coptocycla circulata. (Tab. X. fig. 25.) 
Coptocycla circulata, Boh. Monogr. Cassid. iii. p. 211, and iv. p.4257; Cat. Col. Ins. Brit. Mus. 
ix. p. 170°. . 
Hab. Mexico, Cerro de Plumas (Hége).—Soutu America, Cayenne *~*. 
One example from Eastern Mexico, not differing from others from South America, 
This remarkable species will probably have to be removed from Coptocycla, the elytra 
being very feebly emarginate at the base, with the humeri subacute but not prominent, 
the margins very broadly expanded to the apex. The antenne are rather long and 
slender, with the third joint scarcely longer than the second. 
-.,9# 99. Coptocycla isthmica, (Tab. X. figg. 26,¢ ; 26a, antenna.) 
zp & Subrotundate (3), broad ovate ( 2), convex, flavo-testaceous, shining, the margins subhyaline ; the antenne 
testaceous, with joints 8-11, the tip of the eleventh excepted, piceous or black; beneath and the legs 
testaceous. Antenne subfiliform, rather stout, extending to a little beyond the base of the prothorax, 
joints 2 and 3 short, equal, 4 as long as 2 and 3 united, 5-7 subequal in length, each a little shorter than 
4, 8-10 equal in length, each a little shorter than 7, 11 elongate, acuminate. Prothorax twice as broad 
as long, broadly dilated and reticulate at the sides and in front, the disc finely canaliculate in the middle 
at the base, the surface smooth. Elytra about three times as long as the prothorax in the female, 
shorter in the male, and much wider than it, deeply sinuate-emarginate at the base, conjointly rounded 
at the apex in both sexes; the disc convex, with widely scattered, subserially arranged, moderately 
coarse punctures, which usually become finer towards the suture and almost obsolete towards the apex ; 
the margins broadly expanded, smooth, concave, separated from the disc by a row of deep fovex; the 
humeri prominent, a little more rounded in the female than in the male. Claws simple. 
Length 73-9, breadth 64-77 millim. 
Hab. Nicaracvua, Chontales (Belt, Janson); Panama, Bugaba, Volcan de Chiriqui 
(Champion). 
Nine examples. This insect is very like the Antillean C. subsignata, Boh.; but it is 
larger, and has the elytra immaculate and the third joint of the antenne not longer 
than the second.

This very peculiar species is widely distributed in Tropical America, but apparently
