This insect is less abundant than C. ¢ris‘gnata within our limits. In some specimens 
the elytra have three very faint dilute blackish spots on each elytron, these being 
obsolete in pale examples (aurisplendens). C. bicolor is smaller than C. trisignata and _ 
has less expanded elytral margins. Some of its varieties are indistinguishable from 
that species. 
61. Coptocycla succinea. 
. Coptocycla succinea, Boh. Monogr. Cassid. iii. p. 850+, and iv. p. 4527; Col. Cat. Ins. Brit. Mus.

Hab. Mexico'*, Juquila (Sallé); Guaremata, Capetillo (Champion), Panzos 
(Conradt). 
We have received five specimens of this species. C. succinea, the type of which is 
before me, is exceedingly closely allied to the pallid form of C. bicolor (aurisplendens), 
and only differs from it in having the discoidal fovea of the elytra almost or quite 
obsolete. The Guatemalan specimens are much larger than the Mexican type. 
62. Coptocycla bivulnerata. (Tab. XI. fig. 24, 2.)
