In enumerating the varieties b, c, d, I have followed Stal, adding, however, the 
V. lativentris, Walk. The specimens which I have seen from Costa Rica and Panama 
agree with the typical form. | 
. PHARYPIA. 
Pharypia, Stal, Stett. ent. Zeit. xxii. p. 189 (1861) ; Ofv. Vet.-Ak. Férh. 1867, p. 580. 
Ptilarmus, Stal, Stett. ent. Zeit. xxii. p. 189 (1861). 
This genus is closely allied to the preceding, and differs principally by the length of 
the first joint of the antenne, which either does not reach or only just reaches the 
apex of the head. This is a Neotropical genus; and two of the three species here 
included have not been recorded beyond Central America.
