suture, and the other parallel to it on the disc of the corium), green, the apex not hyaline; underside 
light testaceous ; legs testaceous, in part fuscous. 
_ Long. 9 millim.; lat. 2 millim. 
_ Hab. Guatema.a, Cerro Zunil (Champion). 
This is a very distinct species; at first sight it has a dark and obscure appearance, 
but viewed under a lens the coloration is very striking.

_ There is a very large series of this species in our collection. It may at once be known 
by the black stripes on the green ground of the tegmina, and the large and conspicuous 
black spot in the centre of the vertex of the head. | 
Var. delineata,n. (Tab. XVIII. fig. 23.) 
Major, tegminibus rufo-brunneis vel brunneis, vittis ceeruleis multo magis conspicuis, facile distinguenda. 
Rather larger than the type-form, with the general ground-colour darker, and the elytra of a rich reddish- 
brown or brown colour, with very conspicuous light blue or greyish-blue stripes; the head is a little more 
pointed in front, but in this character the type-form varies considerably. 
Long. 7-8 millim.; lat. 2 millim. 
Hab. Mexico, Cuernavaca in Morelos, Chilpancingo and Amula in Guerrero (H. ZH. 
Smith); Guatemata, Cerro Zunil (Champion). 
At first sight the variety looks distinct, but on a close comparison it will be seen that 
it can hardly be separated, and one or two of the specimens from Teapa are entirely 
intermediate. 
We figure a specimen of the variety from Cerro Zunil.

Rather shiny, narrowed towards the apex ; head short, triangular, with the vertex plainly angled, variegated
