Two specimens from Central America apparently belong to this species. One, from 
Chiriqui (fig. 16), has the disc of the elytra brownish-black, faintly reticulated with 
transverse yellow markings, and the oblong hyaline space on the margins broadly 
bordered with brownish-black externally; the other (fig. 17), from Chontales, has the 
disc of the elytra testaceous, with a large, common, cordate patch at the base, and two 
interrupted fascie beyond the middle, pitchy-brown, the oblong hyaline space on the 
margins narrowly bordered externally with dilute brown. The antenne have their 
joints 8-10 more or less infuscate. 
C. bipellucida, Boh., from Cayenne, is perhaps a pale form of the same species.

Rica (Van Patten). 
Sent in plenty from Teapa. A very distinct species, easily recognizable by the 
spotted prothorax and the two transverse ferruginous fascie (separated by a hyaline 
space) on the elytral margins. We figure a specimen from Atoyac. 
3. Ctenochira fraterna. (Tab. XII. figg. 19; 20, var.)
