388 SUPPLEMENT. 



Phanseus scutifer (p. 60). (Tab. xxiv. figg. 1,1 a, $ .) 



Mr. Flohr has sent me the female of this species from Oaxaca, which is remarkable 

 for the distinct although short horn in the middle of the vertex : — 



5 . Lsete viridi-metallicus, capite fere toto, thorace proeessu antico callisque posticis necnon signaturis disci 

 vermiculatis elytrisque callo humerali nigris. Vertex cornu brevi erecto armatus ; thorax dorso antico 

 proeessu subquadrato acute marginato, antice fere verticali, punctato et utrinque fovea profunda laevi 

 oblonga delimitata. 



Long. 25 millim. 



The anterior dorsal prominence is an exaggeration of that of P. quadridens (Say) $ , 

 its front face forming a steep slope to the fore margin of the thorax. 



Phanseus daphnis (p. 61). 



To the Mexican localities given, add: — Amula 6000 feet, Omilteme 8000 feet, and 

 Chilpancingo 4600 feet, in Guerrero (H. H. Smith). 



Phanseus eximius (p. 62). 



To the localities given, add: — Guatemala, Chimaltenango 6000 feet (Conradt). 

 22 (a). Phanseus tepanensis. (Tab. XXIV. figg. 2, 2 a, s ; 3, 3 a, d 1 , var.) 



P. beltiano afflnis et subsimilis. Oblongo-quadratus, supra minus nitidus, obscure viridis, viridi-seneus, cupreo- 

 seneus vel casruleus, elytris latius quam in P. beltiano opaco-sulcatis interstitiisque angustius nitido-culmi- 

 natis. Caput antice subtiliter transversim rugulosum. Thorax basi <$ $ medio bipunctatus. Subtus 

 niger, lseviter seneus vel cseruleus. 



$ . Cornu capitis elongatum, curvatum, acutum, versus basin parum sed distincte dilatatum, antice creberrime 

 puuctulatum. Thorax disco triangulariter planatus declivis, grosse vermiculato-granulatus, angulis pos- 

 ticis elevatis acutis, margine postico anguste lsevigato, in medio triangulariter dilatato apiceque trianguli 

 elevato acuto. 



J minor. Cornu capitis brevissimum. Thorax postice convexus, antice dorso medio depressus, disco tuberculis 

 duobus lsevibus. 



$ . Vertex cannula trinodosa ; thorax confluenter ruguloso-punctulatus, prope apicem medio carina brevi 

 arcuata unituberculata foveaque lata parum profunda. 



Long. 20-23 millim. 



Rah. Guatemala, Tepan {Conradt). 



The bronzed examples of this species much resemble P. beltianus, but the surface 

 is less shining and the opaque sulci of the elytra are much broader. In the form 

 of the thorax it comes nearer P. palliatus, the hind angles of the flattened triangular 

 disc being as in that species more elevated, and the keel which extends from the sharp 

 apex of the angle towards the lateral fovea is fiexuous. 



Phanseus pilatei (p. 65). 



To the Mexican locality given, add :— Temax in North Yucatan (Gaumer). 



On examination of the large series obtained from Mr. Gaumer I find that the two 

 tubercles or rough ridge in the middle of the triangular declivity of the thorax are
