longitudinal smooth costse which unite near the apex, the outer 

 one being placed close to a longitudinal sulcation which runs parallel 

 with the lateral margin ; the interstices are more or less distinctly 

 transversely rugose. Underside closely silvery pubescent, legs ful- 

 vous, last joint of tarsi piceous. 



Genus Prionodera, Chapuis. 



9. Prionodera godmani, sp. nov. 



Elongate. Testaceous ; antennae with joints 5-7 and 10-12 black ; 

 elytra coarsely punctate and subrugulose, each elytron with a spot 

 at the base and one near the apex metallic green. 



Length 4| lines. 



Hah. Zapote, Guatemala. 



Head deeply but not closely punctured, with a shallow fovea be- 

 tween the eyes ; antennas two thirds the length of the body, testaceous, 

 from the fifth to the seventh and the three apical joints black. 

 Thorax nearly twice as broad as long, its sides tridentate, the poste- 

 rior tooth obsolete and more rounded, the anterior ones acute and di- 

 stinct ; surface rather convex, closely but not more deeply punctured 

 than the head. Scutellum smooth. Elytra wider at the base than 

 the thorax, deeply and coarsely but irregularly punctured, the 

 puncturing near the suture, however, more regularly striate ; the 

 interstices coarsely rugose and transversely wrinkled at the base and 

 near the apex, the latter also distinctly costate, each elytron with 

 two large metallic green patches, one of which, situated at the base, 

 is of a semitriangular shape with its inner margin obliquely cut ; 

 the other patch is placed below the middle, of a more rounded shape; 

 neither of them extends to either the lateral or sutural margin. The 

 entire underside and the legs testaceous. 



Several similarly coloured species have been described, from all of 

 which the present one is distinguished by the colour of the antennas, 

 which is constant in all the specimens before me, as well as by the 

 shape and margiuation of the thorax and the colour of the elytral 

 spots.

Genus Fidia, Baly. 

 10. Fidta gtjatemalensis, sp. nov. 



Suhcylindric, elongate. Bronze-coloured, closely covered with 

 white pubescence ; thorax deeply punctate ; elytra coarsely punc- 

 tate-striate, the interstices costate. 



Length 2-3 lines. 



Hab. Duefias, Capetillo (Guatemala). 



Head strongly punctate, with a short longitudinal groove in the 

 middle ; eyes entire, convex ; antennas longer than half the body, 

 black, with a greenish hue on the surface of the basal joints, the 

 latter fulvous below ; the first six joints (with the exception of 

 the short second joint) slender, filiform, and of nearly equal length, 

 the rest much thicker. Thorax cylindric, slightly contracted at the
