TELEONEMIA. 39 
and under surface clothed with a mealy pubescence. Head with short frontal spines, the upper median 
spine rather stout and semierect ; antennz moderately stout, extending to a little beyond the base of the 
elytra, joints 1 and 2 equal, 4 longer than 1 and 2 united. Pronotum sharply tricarinate, the marginal 
carine also prominent, the anterior margin subangularly projecting in the middle in front, the interspaces 
rugulose and finely punctured, reticulate behind. Elytra moderately long, constricted behind the middle, 
and rounded at the apex, the outer longitudinal nervures stout and cariniform; discoidal area with deeply 
impressed areole ; subcostal and costal areas very narrow, uniseriate, the costal area with small oblong 
areole, which are distinct to the base, those between the two transverse fascie being hyaline. Rostral 
groove wide and subparallel behind the anterior coxe, the rostrum extending to the meso-metasternal 
suture. 
Length 4-47, breadth 1} millim. 
Hab. Guatemata, Chiacam in Vera Paz (Champion); Panama, Bugaba (Champion). 
Three examples. Differs from 7. notata, &c., in the prominent, semierect, rather 
stout frontal spine and the irregularly bifasciate elytra. A closely allied form (included 
by Uhler under 7’. sacchari) occurs in the Island of Grenada.

Var. a. Less parallel, grey or brownish, the discoidal and sutural areas of the elytra with longitudinal blackish 
markings, the triangular pronotal process sometimes pale at the tip; the elytra slightly widening to the 
middle and constricted beyond, the apex appearing considerably dilated.

Var. (. Smaller and narrower; varying in colour from fuscous to brownish-ochraceous; the pronotum 
sometimes with the carine and the triangular posterior portion flavous, the discoidal and sutural areas of 
the elytra streaked with fuscous or black in light-coloured specimens, the legs and the three basal joints 
of the antenne sometimes ferruginous or testaceous; the elytra subparallel, or a little widened at the 
apex; the antenne a little more slender. (Fig. 10.)

A very variable species. The type, a male, of 7. prolixa, from Rio Janeiro, is before 
me, and it is more parallel than most of our specimens, and has the very narrow costal 
area of the elytra pale from the base to near the apex. In the Central-American
