Coleoptera from Gliontahs. 187 



with Chevrolat's description, I am not sure of the identity 

 of his species with that from Chontales ; the third fascia of 

 the elytra being straight, and not curved to the suture, 

 as in the true Labasii. 



Neoclytus ^soptis, Chevrolat, Ann. Soc. Ent, Fr. 1860, 

 p. 502, pi, 9, f. 12. — The describer of this species placed 

 it in the genus Tillomorpha. 



Neodytus rufus,^ Oliv. Entom. IV. 70, p. 28, pi. 7, f. 81. 

 — Chontales specimens agree exactly with those from 

 Venezuela.

Chontales, one example. The antennae, although evi- 

 dently quite perfect in the specimen, have only nine 

 joints, all distinct from each other, without trace of 

 consolidation.
