74 Mr. G. C. Champion's Revision of the Mexican 



Hah. Mexico, Soledad in Guerrero, 5,500 feet {H. H. 

 Smith). 



One example. A comparatively large, rather convex, 

 brilliant golden-green form, with the legs (the base of the 

 posterior femora excepted), the basal joints of the antennae, 

 and the front of the head pale testaceous. The pubescence 

 is fine and sparse, and there are no long intermixed erect 

 hairs such as are present in A. aeneovirens (Gorh.). The 

 epistoma is broad and very short ; the clypeus is strongly 

 developed (longer than the labrum) ; and the maxillary 

 palpi are stout, with the apical joint oblong-ovate and 

 subacuminate. 



47, Attalus chalceus, n. sp. 



$. Narrow, moderately elongate, rather convex, subopaque; 

 aeneous, the antennae (the infuscate apical joints excepted), bases 

 of the palpi, anterior trochanters, tibiae, and tarsi testaceous, the 

 femora piceous; finely cinereo-pubescent. Head short, narrower 

 (with the eyes) than the prothorax, densely, very minutely punctate ; 

 antennae short, joints 8-10 subtransverse. Prothorax strongly 

 transverse, as wide as the base of the elytra ; densely, excessively 

 minutely punctate, somewhat sliining on the middle of the disc. 

 Elytra rather long, widened posteriorly, dull, alutaceous, and with 

 scattered minute punctures. Legs slender. 



Length 2| mm. 



Hab. Mexico {Truqui, in Mus. Brit.). 



One specimen. A rather convex, narrow, brassy, sub- 

 opaque form, with testaceous antennae (the apices 

 excepted), tibiae, and tarsi. The type is abraded, but a 

 short fine cinereous pubescence is still present along the 

 sides of the prothorax and elytra. The clypeus is extremely 

 short, not so long as the labrum. The maxillary palpi are 

 stout, acuminate at the tip. 



48. Attalus aeneovirens.

cJ. Anterior tarsi with the prolonged upper portion of joint 2 

 about reaching the apex of 3. 



Hab. Guatemala, Calderas on the slope of the Volcan 

 de Fuego. 

 A short, convex, shining, brassy-green form, with the
