COPTOCYCLA. 213 
The numerous specimens here referred to this species were labelled with the MS. 
name C. lurida, Klug, in the Sallé collection. They agree very well with Boheman’s 
description. C. divulnerata may be known from all the allied forms by its oval (¢ ) 
or oblong (?) shape. The elytra are foveate on the disc before the middle, the fovea, 
and a slender line on the outer part of the disc—in some specimens extending from a. 
little below the humeral callus to beyond the middle, in others obsolete—being dilute 
fuscous. This species is widely distributed in Mexico, and we have received many 
specimens of it from Guanajuato and Jalapa. |

The elytra in this small species have on the disc before the middle an oblique dilute 
olivaceous patch, which is connected externally with a longitudinal similarly-coloured 
stripe extending from the humeral callus downwards, this stripe being continued in 
some specimens to the suture. The antenne usually have the eighth and ninth joints 
infuscate. We have received about thirty specimens of C. hégbergi. C. vinula, Boh., 
from Colombia, appears to be a very closely-allied form.
