Panama, Bugaba, Volcan de Chiriqui 2000 to 3000 feet (Champion):—Ecvapor, Puna I. 
Gulf of Guayaquil!; Brazit, Rio Janeiro (col/. Dist.) ; La Puata, Entre Rios? (Bruss. 
Mus.). | 
The specimen described by Stal was in bad condition :—‘ Specimen captum in spiritu 
asservatum, non bonum, quare descriptionem ampliorem dare nequo”!. With one 
exception, all the specimens examined have the head black, a character not mentioned 
by Stal; but as they come from a wide area, extending from Mexico in the north to 
Entre Rios in the south, and agree specifically in a perfect manner among themselves 
and generally well with Stal’s description of his badly-preserved type, I naturally 
refrain from describing another species. Moreover, one of the specimens from Entre 
Rios in the Brussels Museum has the head pale castaneous. ‘There is no doubt, 
judging from my own experience, that the genus Jalysus is most variable in its species 
when the described forms are examined with ample material, and that it at present 
exists in some amount of specific uncertainty—another welcome testimony to the truth 
of evolutionary principles. 
PARAJALYSUS (p. 168). 
Parajalysus spinosus (p. 163). 
To the localities given, add:—GuatemaLa, Panzos in Vera Paz (Champion); PaNaMa, 
Bugaba (Champion).—-BraziL, Rio Janeiro, Santa Cruz (Van Volxem in Bruss. Mus.). 
HARMOSTES (p. 166). 
Harmostes serratus (p. 166). 
To the localities given, add :—Muexico, Atoyac in Vera Cruz (Schumann); Panama, 
Bugaba, Caldera, Volcan de Chiriqui 3500 to 4000 feet (Champion). 
Harmostes nebulosus (p. 166). 
To the localities given, add :—Mexico, Orizaba in Vera Cruz (H. H. Smith & F.D.G.), 
Amula, Venta de Zopilote and Kucumanatlan, all in Guerrero, Teapa in Tabasco 
(H. H. Smith), Temax in North Yucatan (Gaumer). 
Var. a. Smaller, measuring only 7 millim. as against 9 millim. in typical specimens. The corium is usually 
distinctly darker in hue towards the apical margin. 
Hab. Mexico, Atoyac in Vera Cruz, Teapa in Tabasco (H. H. Simith). 
I possess a Mexican specimen of this variety labelled in St&l’s handwriting 
H. dorsalis, Stal, which evidently refers to the H. dorsalis, Burm.; but as the 
description of Burmeister’s species (apparently at present unrecognized) distinctly 
states “‘ pectore linea laterali fusca,” it cannot be thus ascribed. |
