HTPEEASPIS. 195 



nymous with H. undulata), if a specimen in the Salle collection is correctly so named, 

 and which certainly agrees with Mulsant's description. Neither species is represented 

 in Crotch's collection, and it is certainly better to keep them distinct. The present 

 species, of which we have received a series from Morrison under the name H. undulata, 

 agrees with Crotch's description, and no doubt occurs in the adjoining State of California. 

 The other localities quoted by Crotch 2 may refer to //. elegans, 



iii. Elytra black, the humerus and two spots yellow. 



9. Hyperaspis lateralis. (Tab. X. fig. 24, <$ .) 



Hyperaspis lateralis, Muls. Spec. Col. Trim, secur. p. 657 1 ; Crotch, Rev. Cocein. p. 235 2 . 



Hab. Mexico 12 , Guanajuato {Salle). 



The male has the head, and the front margin and sides of the thorax, narrowly yellow. 

 The elytral markings are blood-red, and they do not differ in the two specimens now 

 before me. The head and thorax in the female example are entirely black. 



We figure a male from Salle's collection. 



iv. Elytra black, with a median and a subapical fascia, more or less united, yellow. 



10. Hyperaspis lunulata. 



Hyperaspis lunulata, Muls. Spec. Col. Trim, secur. p. 680 ' ; Crotch, Rev. Cocein. p. 235 2 . 



Hab. Mexico 1 2 . 



I have not seen an authenticated example of this species ; it is not represented in 

 Crotch's collection. The male, as in so many of the species described by Mulsant, was 

 unknown to him. Two specimens from Guanajuato in Salle's collection ( 6 and 2 ), so 

 named, are clearly referable to H. connectens. It is possible that the name H. lunulata 

 may be a synonym of H. connectens.

 Guatemala, near the city (Champion); Nicakagua, Chontales (Janson). — Antilles 3 ,

Hab. Panama, San Miguel in the Pearl Islands (Champion).— Colombia x 2 . 



Crotch remarks that this may be merely a variety of H. f estiva. Mr. Champion met
