This is one of the commonest species of the genus within our limits. It may be 
known by the very shallowly impressed areole of the discoidal area of the elytra, this 
part being finely pubescent, like the pronotum and under surface. The uniseriate 
costal area is comparatively wide throughout, the transverse nervures separating the 
hyaline areole being sometimes infuscate. ‘The antenne (broken off in the type before 
me)are stout, moderately long,and shortly pilose. The general colour is grey or brownish, 
with darker markings on the elytra, there being always a pale transverse fascia before the 
apex. The rostral groove is gradually widened behind the anterior coxe. The principal 
characters of 7. scrupulosa—the shortly pilose antenne and the finely pubescent dis- 
coidal area-—-were not mentioned by Stal. A specimen from Orizaba is figured. 
10. Teleonemia nigrina, n. sp. (Tab. III. figg. 13; 13 a, antenna; 13 6, the 
body beneath, showing the abdominal tubercles, 9 .) 
Moderately elongate, narrow, opaque; body black or piceous, the integument grey or brownish-grey, the 
elytra mottled with black and with the long narrow areole of the costal area hyaline, separated by trans- 
verse black nervures, the tip of the pronotal process and a small space near the apex of the elytra, as 
well as the base of the discoidal area, more or less pale; the antennx and legs black or fuscous, the tibiee 
partly flavous or ferruginous ; the body beneath and the pronotum clothed with a close mealy pubescence. 
Head with a short, stout, rather prominent frontal spine ; antenne very shortly pilose, exceedingly stout, 
short, about reaching the base of the elytra, joints 1 and 2 equal, 3 not twice the length of 4, the latter- 
ovate and of the length of 1 and 2 united. Pronotum subtruncate in front, rather sharply tricarinate, 
the outer carine slightly sinuous, each, the marginal ones included, with a row of small areole, the 
interspaces rugulose and finely punctured, the posterior portion reticulated. Elytra moderately long, 
slightly narrowed and constricted beyond the middle, with the apices bluntly rounded; discoidal area 
with deep punctiform areole ; subcostal area narrow, biseriate; costal area narrow, uniseriate, the areole 
long and separated by stout transverse nervures. Intercoxal portion of the metasternum very broad, the 
rostral groove being abruptly and greatly widened behind, the rostrum extending to the meso-metasternal. 
suture. Terminal ventral segment in the female with along, stout, obliquely projecting tubercle on each side.

Hab. Norta America, Texas (Belfrage, in Mus. Brit.).—Mexico, Xucumanatlan in 
Guerrero (H. H. Smith); Guatemata, Duefias and Guatemala city (Champion). 
Two females and three males have been obtained within our limits. The single 
specimen from Texas in the British Museum is labelled with the MS. name Monanthia 
nigrina, Uhler. The extraordinary ventral armature in the female and the very short 
stout antenne distinguish this species at a glance. It resembles 7. scrupulosa in 
general appearance. Guatemalan specimens are figured. 
11. Teleonemia cylindricornis, n.sp. (Tab. III. figg. 14; 14a, profile.) 
Elongate, opaque ; testaceous or brownish-ochraceous, the antenne and the body beneath fuscous or fusco- 
ferruginous, the elytra sometimes slightly mottled with fuscous, or with some of the transverse nervures.
