The specimen figured is from Costa Rica, and agrees with some specimens from 
Guatemala in being much darker in colour than ordinary forms, such as the Venezuelan 
type in the British Museum, or from ordinary Mexican specimens. The species varies 
greatly in size, specimens having passed through my hands which range in length from 
11 millims. to 16 millims. Mr. Dallas’s figure is in outline only; and that of Herrich- 
Schaffer appears much exaggerated in the structure of the pronotum.

The figure is from the type in the collection of the Stockholm Museum, and is copied 
from a coloured drawing of the same, which was very kindly made for that purpose by 
Dr. Jacob Spangberg. A specimen in my own collection differs from Stal’s description 
in having the legs, rostrum, and first, second, and base of the third joints of the antennz 
luteous. The tarsi and apices of the tibiz are black. 
B. Anterior lateral margins of the pronotum crenulated. Lateral angles of the 
pronotum produced into more or less distinct spines. 
A. Ventral spine passing the intermediate coxe.

The Mexican specimen figured is paler in hue than the type, and differs in the absence 
of the testaceous tinting. 
AA. Ventral spine short, not passing posterior coxe.
