164 Mr. H. W. Bates's additions to the 



Distinguished among tbe Clytid group by its uniform 

 hoary laid pubescence. It belongs to the section (which 

 includes all the Mexican species referred to Clytantlms) 

 in which the elytra are as in Cyllene, Trichoxys, and 

 OchrestJies, truncated and dentate at the apex, with 

 depressed suture (except at the base), and a dorsal 

 carina. The carina is, however, very obtuse, and the 

 facies of the species, the slender elongate form, and 

 narrow forehead (between the antennse) give them a 

 close resemblance to the Clytanthi.

I have seen one example only of this elegant little 

 species, which seems to me better placed in Neoclytus 

 than in Mecometo2)us, notwithstanding its greater general 

 resemblance to many species of the latter genus.
