Hab. in excelsioribus insulae, ad " Diana's Peak." I have seen but one <$ ; and it is possibly a variety. The elytra of the $ have numerous black-margined cells or cell-like spots more or less variable. On the clavus and corium, to beyond the middle, these are small and vary in size, but are more or less square. Between these and the apical cells there is a transverse row of 4, more elongate, cells, of which one or more are sometimes subdivided. Beyond these are 5 marginal cells at the apex of the elytron. The veins of the elytron are scarcely distinguishable. 26. ARGATERMA MULTISIGNATA, sp. n.
