84 PROCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM. VOL. 62. 
Described from a single specimen collected by E. A. Schwarz 
March 26, 1911. 
This species is very closely allied to bicolor Fisher, but differs 
from that species in being subopaque, the head and pronotum of a 
different shade of green, and the surface densely reticulate-striolate 
and not smooth at the middle, as in bicolor. 
LEIOPLEURA INTERMEDIA Waterhouse. 
Leiopleura intermedia WATERHOUSE, Biol, Centr.-Amer. Coleopt., vol. 3, pt. 1, 
1889, p. 154, pl. 9, fig. 1. 
This species was described from material collected by Mr. Champion 
at Cerro Zunil, Guatemala, at an altitude of 4,500 feet. This is a 
rather broad, depressed species, with the sides of the elytra subpar- 
allel for two-thirds their length, and then broadly attenuate to the 
apex. The type is in the British Museum and has not been examined, 
but the species is given its position in the key from the characters 
given in the original description. 
LEIOPLEURA BELTII Waterhouse. 
Leiopleura beltii WatERHOUSE, Biol. Centr.-Amer. Coleopt., vol. 3, pt. 1, 1897, 
p. 666. 
This beautiful species was described from Chontales, Nicaragua. 
It has the head and pronotum golden green, and the elytra of a bright, 
shining, coppery color, and which is differently colored from all the 
other species of the genus, except buscki, from which it differs by the 
characters given in the key and description. It is not represented in 
the National Museum Collection, but it is placed in the key from the 
characters given in the origina] description. 
LEIOPLEURA BUSCKI, new species. 
Ovate, moderately convex, broadly rounded in front, broadly atten- 
uate posteriorly, and slightly narrower behind than in front, strongly 
shining; head and pronotum dark green, the latter with an obscure, 
dark, triangular area on the disk; scutellum brown, with a cupreous 
tinge; elytra bright coppery-red, with the sides for a short distance 
behind the humeral angles narrowly margined with violet, then 
becoming aureous posteriorly; beneath piceous. 
Head nearly flat and broadly, obsoletely depressed on the front, 
with a rather obsolete, narrow, longitudinal groove extending from 
the epistoma to a large oblong fovea on the front; surface finely, 
irregularly, and very sparsely punctate; intervals smooth; antennae 
rather long and strongly aeneous. Pronotum rather strongly convex 
three times as wide as long, distinctly narrower in front than behind, 
widest at base; sides strongly, arcuately attenuate from base to 
anterior angles; posterior angles feebly projecting and rather acute;
