This species may be known by its dark brown colour and the yellow markings at 
the sides, which are fairly constant, and consist of three spots on each side, of which 
the two front ones are sometimes confluent. The pronotal horn is short and blunt. 
The male and female appear closely to resemble each other. ‘The descriptions of 
Burmeister and Amyot and Serville clearly apply to this insect, which appears to be 
very distinct. Burmeister assigns eleven coste to the pronotum, whereas Amyot and 
Serville mention nine only; but this probably arises from the confusion caused by 
variation in different specimens. 
Amyot and Serville * give “‘Savana” as the locality for their P. favomaculata ; but 
whether Savannah in Georgia, the West Indies, or S. America is meant is uncertain. 
4. Polyglypta tricolor. 
Polyglypta tricolor, Butl. Cist. Ent. ii. p. 209, t. 3. fig. 5°. 
Hab. Mexico, Pinos Altos in Chihuahua (Buchan-Hepburn), Amula in Guerrero 
(H. H. Smith), Oaxaca (Mus. Brit.1).—Peru!. 
This species is allied to P. maculata, but is narrower and more elongate, with the 
pronotal horn longer and sharper. The male and female closely resemble each other. 
P. brevivitta, Walk., appears to be allied to this species, but is smaller and differs in 
other particulars. 
5. Polyglypta lineata. — 
Polyglypta lineata, Burm. Rev. Ent. Silb. iv. p. 179°. 
Polyglypta tredecim-costata, Fairm. Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. sér. 2, iv. p. 299’. 
Hab. Mexico}, Cuernavaca in Morelos (H. H. Smith; Bilimek, in Mus. Vind. Ces.), 
Amula and Xautipa in Guerrero (H. H. Smith), Orizaba (f. D.G. & H. H.S8.; 
Bilimek, in Mus. Vind. Ces.); British Honpuras, R. Sarstoon (Blancaneaux); Guate- 
MaLA (Sad/é), San Joaquin in Vera Paz (Champion). 
There are five specimens among the undetermined material in the Vienna Museum 
labelled “‘ Bilimek, Mexico,” which appear to be the true P. lineata of Burmeister, 
answering to his description in size and structure of pronotal horn. Most of the 
examples I have seen are considerably larger, with the horn more produced and in
