Hab. Mexico, Misantla (F. D. G.). 



We have two examples of this elegant and distinct species, both males. In the 

 dentition of the claws it agrees rather better with the species of Section V. than with 

 those of Section II. ; but it seems preferable to leave it at the end of the latter section 

 in the vicinity of the two polyphyllous species there located. 



Lachnosterna rorulenta (p. 196). 



To the localities given, add: — Mexico, La Venta in Guerrero, Teapa in Tabasco 

 (H. H Smith). 



Lachnosterna parvisetis (p. 196). 



Among the numerous examples of L. rorulenta taken by Mr. H. H. Smith are some 

 in which many of the elytral punctures have a short seta. As the occurrence of these 

 setse (not the long loose hairs with which the elytra are provided towards the apex, 

 and which are often seen also inZ. rorulenta) furnishes the sole character of the present 

 species, it must be withdrawn and treated as a slight variety of L. rorulenta. The 

 pygidium in the female is impressed and bituberculated at the apex as in L. roridenta ; 

 in the following very closely-allied species the form of the pygidium is very different.
