BOLBONOTA. Ie 
abrupte declivi; tegminibus piceis, maculis albidis parvis in medio notatis, margine apicali hyalino ; 
pedibus nigris, tarsis testaceis vel piceo-testaceis. 
A very small short species, rather dull, thickly but distinctly punctured, and sparingly but distinctly pubescent ; 
pronotum with the central carina and two lateral carine between this and the shoulders regular and 
distinct ; dorsum, if viewed from the side, nearly straight until just before the apex, where it is abruptly 
depressed ; tegmina dark, with small whitish or yellowish spots, and with the apex distinctly hyaline on 
the margin ; legs black or pitchy, with the tarsi brighter; occasionally the tegmina have no distinct 
small spots, but are light in the central portion. 
Long. cum tegm. 2 millim.; lat. max. 14 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Atoyac in Vera Cruz, Teapa in Tabasco (H. H. Smith); Guatemata,. 
El Tumbador (Champion). 
This species appears to be closely allied to the smaller specimens of the var. levior 
of B. pictipennis, but has the prothorax shorter and broader in proportion, with a 
more blunt and shorter apex. An example from Teapa is figured. 
5. Bolbonota corrugata, sp.n. (Tab. II. figg. 6, 6 a.) 
Nigra vel fusca; quoad formam B. insign? affinis, sed multo minor; dorso magis distincte tuberculato, a latere 
viso multo magis inequali, pone medium, iterumque ante apicem brevissimum abrupte declivi; tegmi- 
nibus nigris aureo-sparsis, vel parte toté media, venis crassis exceptis, aurea vel albid&; pedibus nigris vel 
piceis, tarsis flavescentibus. 
In general form very like B. insignis, but considerably smaller, with the sculpture of the pronotum, if viewed 
from above, proportionally stronger, and the dorsum, if viewed from the side, plainly tuberculate just 
before the middle, then strongly and sinuately depressed, and tuberculate and again depressed before the 
apex ; tegmina varying—dark with yellow or whitish spots, or with the yellow or whitish colour prevailing 
in the centre, their apex usually with a small hyaline patch externally, which is sometimes indistinct. 
Long. 34 millim.; lat. max. 23 millim. 
Hab. Panama, Taboga I., San Miguel in the Pearl Is. ( Champion). 
A specimen from Taboga Island is figured. 
Var. minor. 
Minor, minus nitida, densius minutiusque punctata; tegminibus ut in forma typicali maxime variantibus,. 
interdum fere totis flavescentibus. 
Very like the type form, with which it is identical in the sculpture of the dorsal ridge, but smaller, less 
shining, and more thickly and closely punctured ; the tegmina are very variable in colour, being some- 
times almost entirely yellow, and at others dark with yellow spots. 
Long. cum tegm. 3 millim.; lat. max. 2 millim. 
Hab. Brrvish Honpuras (Blancaneaur); Panama, Bugaba, Volcan de Chiriqui, and 
Caldera (Champion). 
I had described this insect as a new species, but on close examination I cannot detect 
any structural difference between it and the type form, although the punctuation and 
general sculpture are somewhat different. Two of the specimens from Bugaba are 
duller and more pubescent than the others.
