nitidum, sulco postico sensim pone medium sito ; margine antico parum rotundato, tuberculo medio parvo 

 sed acuto praedito ; margine postico rotundato, in medio distincte subsinuato. Lobi laterales testaceo- 

 ferruginei, parum longiores quam altiores, subrectangulares, anterius quam posterius paulo altiores, angulis 

 rotundatis, margine antico et postico nigro. Elytra apicem ovipositoris superantia, sat angustata, primo 

 intuitu testacea, creberrimeque fusco-conspersa et punctata, reticulatione rlava, venis longitudinalibus ferru- 

 gineis vel testaceis ; campo anali tamen toto fusco. Alee infumatse, venis flavidis. Pectus sat compressum, 

 prosterno breviter bispinoso, metasterno foveo unico praedito. Pedes elongati, ferrugineo-testacei, spiuis 

 concoloribus ; tibiis femoribusque apicem versus saturatioribus. Femora antica subtus spinis 2-3, inter- 

 media 3, postica 5-6. Tibiae anticae et intermediae supra inermes : anticae concbis parum biantibus. 



$ . Lamina supra-analis sat parva, obtuse rotundata, concaviuscula. Ovipositor robustus, latiusculus, margine 

 supero fere recto, a tertia parte basali minute serrulato, testaceus, basi subfuscus, in dimidia parte apicali 

 late saturateque ferrugineo-marginatus, apice acuto. Lamina infra-genitalis compressiuscula, sat parva, 

 subtriangularis, apice tamen obtuse rotundata et apice leviter emarginato. 



2 • Long. corp. 36 ; pronot. 7; elytr. 47*5; femor. post. 28; ovipos. 21, lat. max. 3*5 millim. 



Hab. Panama, Isthmus of Darien. — Ecuador, Rio Peripa. 



C. pollonerce seems to be closely allied to C. globosus, Brunn. In the pale varieties 

 the forehead might have the black marks obliterated, and thus the species would come 

 next to C. meroncidioides in the Table.

Frons vittis 5 nigris, plus minus confluentibus, fere sicut in Bliaste camerani, Griff. Caput supra et pronotum 

 variabiliter nigro-ornata. Elytra basi haud obscuriora, reticulatione pallida, punctis numerosissimis 

 fuscis in coitu venarum notata. Femora anteriora et intermedia subtus spinis nigris 3-5 ; posteriora 6-8. 

 Ovipositor haud nigro-marginatus. Lamina infra-genitalis <3 valde attenuata *. (Darien, in sylvis, et 

 Punta de Sabana.)

* Signor Griffini correctly states that the infra-genital plate of the males of the genus Cocconotus is attenuated 

 posteriorly in some species, and not at all or but little in others.
