300 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



head pale orange, the sides, along the eyes, suffusedly blackened 

 (narrowly above), and the lower margin broadly blackened (especially 

 at sides), except the actual edge, which is reddish; thorax with large 

 oblique subquadrate reddish orange lateral areas, making the broad 

 median black region constricted in the middle ; elytra with no humeral 

 spot ; the three orange spots on each very large, the subapical one 

 suboval, pointed laterad, narrowly separated from margin ; the discal 

 or subdorsal ones nearly circular, their diameter greater than their 

 distance from the thorax, and much more than twice as great as their 

 distance from the suture ; the lateral ones more irregular, smaller 

 than the discal, separated by a fine black line from the margin ; legs 

 ferruginous, approximately the basal half of the femora black ; spine 

 of anterior tibia long and sharp, nearly as long as diameter of tibia 

 at that point, margin beyond broadly arcuate as in B. decora, but 

 with a very distinct though small supplementary tooth as in B. ari- 

 zonica, though not so near to the apex of the tibia ; the tibial spine 

 is very straight, not curved as in B. dentipes ; middle tibia with 

 a small subapical spine. The elytra are considerably shorter than in 

 B. ursina. 



This Coccinellid is probably of considerable economic import- 

 ance as a destroyer of Coccidae. 



Calomicraspis haroldi, Candeze. — Quirigua, Guatemala (W. P. 

 Cockerell). A very fine species, with the thorax and scutellum 

 green, the elytra red. It is probably quite rare, as it was not 

 represented in the U. S. National Museum. 



Enema endymion, Chevrolat. — Quirigua (W. P. Cockerell). 



Phileurus didymus (L.). — Quirigua (W. P. Cockerell). 



Coelosis biloba (L.). — Quirigua (W. P. Cockerell). 



Hammaticherus mexicanus, Thorns. — Quirigua (W. P. Cock- 

 erell). Apparently new to Guatemala. 



Neleus interstitialis (Esch.). — Quirigua (W. P. Cockerell). 

 Neleus, Kaup, Col. Heft., v. (1869) is preoccupied by Neleus, 

 Kaf., 1814. The matter has probably been set right by Zang 

 (1905), whose works I do not possess. 



Rhodocanthopus pimctatostriatus, Percheron. — Quirigua (W. P. 

 Cockerell). 



Calopteron bifasciatum , Gorham. — Quirigua (W. P. Cockerell). 

 Closely resembles a Syntomid moth {Correbia obtusa, Druce), also 

 found in Guatemala. 



Epilachna defecta, Mulsant. — Antigua, Guatemala (W. P. 

 Cockerell). 



Photuris trilineata, Say. — Quirigua (W. P. Cockerell). 



JEgithus clavicornis, Quirigua (W. P. Cockerell). 



Mesomphalia sp. — Several at Puerto Barrios, Guatemala 

 (W. P. Cockerell). A fine dark green species, with two large 

 blood-red spots on each elytron. It probably has been described, 

 but no name could be found for it. 



Morio monilicomis, Latr. (det. Schwarz).— Quirigua (W. P. 

 Cockerell).
