214 PHYTOPHAGA. 
from sanguineous or vermilion-red to dilute flavo-testaceous; the margins have a large 
flavo-hyaline space before the middle, which is bordered with black (broadly in front 
and behind), except along the outer limb. In pallid examples the humeri are usually 
rufo-testaceous; the latter have usually a few scattered coarse punctures, but these 
are sometimes obsolete. The third joint of the antenne is elongate, as long as the 
fourth. We are indebted to Dr. Horn for a specimen of C. arizone, Crotch ; it differs 
in no way from Boheman’s species. We figure an example from Soledad.

Hab. Mexico, Matamoros Izucar, San Andres Tuxtla (Sallé), Jalapa, Misantla, 
Oaxaca (Hoge), Teapa in Tabasco (Sallé, Hoge, H. H. Smith); British Honpvras, 
R. Hondo (Blancaneaux); GuatEMaLa, Cahabon (Champion). 
Not uncommon in Tabasco. Very closely allied to C. emarginata, but smaller, the 
elytra invariably dilute flavous or flavo-testaceous, with the subhyaline space on the 
margins more extended and narrowly bordered with piceous or fuscous within, this 
border being sometimes almost obsolete, the humeri smooth and not stained with 
rufo-testaceous. A specimen from Teapa is figured. 
66. Coptocycla tumida. (Tab. XII. figg. 1; 1a, profile.) 
Subcordate, very convex, shining, flavo-testaceous; the elytra each with two fuscous-spotted flavo-testaceous 
fasciee extending across the margin from the disc but not reaching the exterior limb—one very broad and 
transverse, at the base, the other narrower and oblique, a little beyond the middle,—a broad quadrangular 
space between the fascie and the rest of the margin flavo-hyaline; the antennw flavo-testaceous, with 
the apical five joints black; beneath and the legs black, variegated with testaceous, the metasternum 
broadly flavous in front, the fascia on the elytral margins fuscous. Antenne elongate, slender, the 
apical five joints thickened, joint 3 a little longer than 2 and very much shorter than 4. Prothorax 
about twice as broad as long, strongly sinuate at the base on either side of the median lobe, broadly 
expanded at the sides and in front, smooth; the disc deeply foveate at the base on either side of the 
median lobe, canaliculate behind, and deeply excavate at the sides: the margins reticulate and 
subhyaline. Elytra very much wider than, and more than three times as long as, the prothorax, deeply 
sinuate-emarginate at the base, with prominent rounded humeri; the disc uneven, moderately gibbous 
anteriorly, excavate on either side of the suture in front of this, bifoveate at the base, deeply irregularly 
foveate in the centre at about one-fourth from the base and also irregularly foveate towards the sides 
a little beyond the middle, hollowed laterally behind the humeral callus, and with rows of deep, coarse, 
dilute fuscous punctures, the interstices smooth and here and there connected by feebly-raised transverse 
callosities; the margins broadly expanded, becoming narrow at the apex, smooth and reticulate, separated 
from the disc by a row of very deep fovee. Claws angularly dilated at the base. 
Length 84, breadth 7 millim. 
Hab. Costa Rica (coll. Janson). 
One specimen, contained in Mr. O. E. Janson’s collection. This species approaches 
C. tuberculata (Fabr.) ; but it has the elytra less gibbous and more coarsely punctured,
