248 SUPPLEMENT. 



DASYDACTYLUS (p. 14). 



Dasydactylus buprestoides (p. 15). 



To the locality given, add : — Guatemala, Coban in Vera Paz (Conradt). 



2(a). Dasydactylus aeneopiceus. 



JEneo-piceus, elytris viridi-nitentibns, antennis tarsisque nigrescentibus ; capite prothoraceque fere glabris, 

 hoc subquadrato, feminse minute punctulato ; elytris obsoletius punctato-striatis, interstitiis postice 

 punctatis. Long. 11-13 millim. <S § . 



Mas, prothorace convexiore, lateribus antice magis rotundatis, tarsis anticis dilatatis fulvo-birtulis. 



Hah. Mexico, Teapa in Tabasco (H. H. Smith). 



This species is very closely allied to D. suhulatus. It differs principally in the 

 pitchy-red colour of the head and thorax, and in the latter being shorter and relatively 

 broader in both sexes than in that insect ; the elytra are at the same time broader and 

 less subulate. D. ameopiceus is also clearly allied to D. gldbricollis, but appears to be 

 a more robust insect and is differently coloured. 



Dasydactylus picipes (p. 22). 



To the localities given, add : — Mexico, Teapa in Tabasco (H. H. Smith). 



Dasydactylus sellatus (p. 23). 



To the Mexican localities given, add : — Temax in N. Yucatan (Gaumer). 



Among many examples of this species sent from Teapa by Mr. H. H. Smith (whence 

 I have already recorded it) are several of the variety with the head black. 



CEOTCHIA (p. 28). 



Crotchia parvula (p. 32). 



To the localities given, add : — Mexico, Teapa in Tabasco (H. H. Smith). 



THALLISELLA (to follow the genus Crotchia, p. 32). 

 Thattisella, Crotch, Cist. Ent. i. p. 402 (1876). 



This genus, of which the type is T. peruviana, Crotch, is clearly a member of the 

 Erotylidae and has undoubted affinity with certain members of the Languriidse. It is 

 well and sufficiently characterized by Crotch, with the exception of the male characters 

 observable in the Central- American species ; but with singular inconsistency he has 

 included in it a second species from a wholly different part of the world — T. malasiw, 

 which is not congeneric. This latter is, in fact, a member of the genus which has 

 subsequently been described by Mr. Fowler under the name Paracladowena. 



The Thallisellw are small Triplacid-looking beetles, with coarsely granulated, 

 prominent eyes ; very broad tarsi, with spongiose soles, apparently four-jointed, but
