Mr. Charles J. Gahan on the 
197. L. hidentatus (Dej. Cat.). 
(?) Ceramhyx hidentatus, Fabr., Syst. Ent., p. 165. 
Apex of each elytron obliquely truncate-em arginate, less pro- 
longed, and briefly mucronate at the suture, armed with a short 
spine at the outer angle. Post-median band of the elytra in the 
form of a broad W, with the middle angle much shorter than the 
side strokes. In other respects resembles the preceding form. 
Hah. Guadeloupe (Dej. collection), Nevis I. (H. T. 
Taylor). 
198. L. similis (Dej. Cat.). 
Very like the preceding, but differing somewhat in the 
shape of the post-median band of the elytra. The 
middle angle of this band extends much farther forwards 
than the two lateral arms. 
Hah. Grenada and St. Vincent (H. H. Smith), 
Dominica (Dr. Nicholls). 
199. L. assimilis (Dej. Cat.). 
With the spine at the outer angle of the apex of each elytron 
stronger than in the last two forms ; with the middle angle of the 
post-median band about as long as the lateral arms, or sometimes 
almost obliterated. 
Hah. Dominica (Earn age) and Guadeloupe (Dej. 
collection). 
It is an example of this form which has been recorded 
from Mexico by Bates, who was probably right in con- 
sidering it the true jpraemorsus of Fabricius.

Hah. Guadeloupe (Vitrac) ; and a variety in Grenada 
and Mustique I. (H. H. Smith). 
The examples taken by Mr. Smith do not quite agree 
with the description of the species. With the exception 
of a small oblong spot placed on the suture just behind 
the scutellum, they have nothing in the nature of a 
brown band on the suture, nor have they a brown band 
on the sides. But, in other respects, they conform fairly 
well to the description.
