the scutellum and the broad central black fascia. The breast beneath is pitchy-red. 

 The scutellum in both examples is black. 



62(a). Mycotretus erraticus. 



Oblongo-ovatus, ater, capite, prothorace, antennarum articulis duobus primis pedibusque saturate rufis ; vertic-is 

 puncto prothoracisque punctis tribus, mediano majore, marginem anticam attingente, nigris ; capite 

 prothoraceque creberrime fortiter puuctatis, elytris punctato-striatis. Long. 4| millim. 



Hah. Mexico, Chilpancingo in Guerrero 4600 feet (H. II. Smith). 



Antennae rather long, and the club lax for this genus. Thorax with the sides nearly 

 straight, only a little contracted to the front angles, transverse; front scarcely excised, 

 the angles acute, the base sinuate. Elytra and scutellum black, the former deeply 

 punctate-striate, with the interstices not quite smooth. The legs are blackish in one 

 example, but the tarsi even in this are red. The meso- and metasterna and the 

 abdomen are black, and are strongly punctured, the latter being smoother in the 

 middle. 



Two examples.

 Gen. Col. xii. p. 53 (1876) ; Crotch, Cist. Ent. i. p. 483. 



A genus of about twenty species, all hitherto described being from the southern 

 continent. It has very much the form of jEgithus, but is distinguished from that 

 genus by the coarsely granulated eyes, as well as by the outline not being so uniform, 

 the thorax having its sides more rounded and its base more rectangular than is usual 

 in JEgithus. 



1. Cyclomorphus sordidus. 



Valde convexus, gibbosus, fere glaber, sordide luteus, subtus piceo-variegatus ; ore, antennis, palpis pedibusque 

 nigris, femoribus infra luteo-pietis ; elytris nigro-piceis, sutura marginibusque indistincte luteis. Long. 

 9 millim. 



Hah. Mexico, Omilteme in Guerrero 8000 feet (H. H. Smith). 



Broadly ovate, the apex of the elytra very declivous and pointed ; impunctate, but 

 with a fine alutaceous sculpture, which renders the surface not very brilliant, though 

 shining. Head and thorax luteous ; the mouth, antennae and palpi, and the extreme 

 margins of the thorax, are black. Thorax with the base more than twice as wide as 

 the length, the front not deeply excavated. The antennae are rather longer than the 

 head and thorax together. The scutellum is black. The elytra are smooth, but not
