270 LAMELLICOENIA. 



4. Chlorota pallida. 



Chlorota pallida, Candeze, Harold's Col. Hefte, v. p. 15 l . 

 Hab. Guatemala 1 . 



Differs somewhat in colour (" fulvo-testacea, scutello flavo, .... metathorace 

 obscuro ") and widely in sculpture (" prothorace insequaliter sat fortiter punctato .... 

 elytris seriatim punctulatis") from C. flavicollis. The sculptured elytra may be a 

 sexual character, as in C. limbaticollis, but the sex is not mentioned in the diagnosis. 

 The species is not contained in our collections. 



5. Chlorota (?) belti. (Tab. XV. fig. 17.) 



Late et regulariter ovata, alte convexa, castanea, polita, capite thoraceque seneo-relucentibus, subtus cum pedibus 

 pallidior rufescenti-fulva, tarsis nigris ; clypeo ( $ ) semiovato, granulato-ruguloso ; thorace sparsissime 

 punctulato, longe post medium subangulatim dilatato, angulis anticis acutis, lobo medio basali recte trun- 

 cate, extus margine fortiter sinuato ; scutello late triangulari, lateribus leviter arcuatis ; elytris striis 

 punctatis 10, interstitiis paullo convexis laevibus, 2° lato medio confuse punctato, margine laterali medio 

 callo lato elongato lsevi ; pygidio piano transversim strigoso, punctulato rufo-piloso ; corpore subtus rufo- 

 piloso, medio laevi. Tarsi antici ungue majore basi spina brevi armato, 4 posteriores unguibus furcatis. 

 Femora postica latissima. Mesosterni processus fere borizontalis planus, apice acuto curvato. 



Long. 28, lat. 17 millim. $ . 



Hal. Nicakagua, Chontales (Belt). One example only. 



Belongs to Burmeister's Section II. a of Chlorota, and allied to Chlorota associata, 

 Waterh. The mandibles and labrum differ but little from those of C. flavicollis. 

 The species with its allies, judging from the scanty material befpre me, seem to belong to 

 a different generic type from Chlorota. 



Group RUTELINA, 

 KUTELISCA. 



Facies gen. Eutelce. Clypeus antice valde angnstatus, apice recurvatus, lateribus utrinque angulatis, fronte tuber- 

 culis transversis depreBsis duobus. Antennae 10-articulatae. Mandibular angustse, acuminata^ ascendentes. 

 Labrum parvum, triangulare, verticale. Mentum parvum, ovatum, grosse piloso-punctatum, parte ligulare 

 minima angustato-rotundata. Palpi labiales breves, articulo apicali crasso cuboidali. Maxillae parva?, 

 acute 4-dentatae. Thorax basi immarginatus. Scutellum breve et latum, triangulare. Mesosternum 

 hand productum. Pedes cum tarsis graciles. Tibiae anticae tridentatae. Ungues parum insequalea, 

 graciles ; majore ( <$ ) pedum anteriorum crasso fisso, 4 posteriorum furcato ; ( $ ) omnium furcato. 



An interesting form, intermediate between the true Rutelae and the Cyclocephali, 

 and having a marked affinity with the Indian and Malayan genus Parastasia. The 

 insect on which it is founded is no doubt that mentioned by Lacordaire in a note on 

 the genus Chalcentis (Genera Col. iii. p. 353). 



l. Eutelisca fiohri. (Tab. XV. figg. 18 * , 19 $ .) 



Oblongo-ovata, convexa, nigra, subnitida, $ unicolor, <$ verticis macula thoracis vitta laterali (macula nigra 

 includenti) signaturisque discoidalibus, elytris macula rotunda utrinque basali margineque posteriory
