( Fig. 143 ) Lasiochilus variabilis Uhler, 1894a: 156 . (Error for varicolor ). Lasiochilus varicolor Uhler, 1894b: 198 . Diagnostic characters: Measurements, see Table IV. Male: Characterized by the following combination of characters: head and pronotum reddish brown, antennae brown, sometimes paler; hemelytra brown; underside of body dark brown, with sternal area sometimes paler; legs and labium, brown to pale brown. Antennal segment II equal to or shorter than length of head, thickened at apex; antennal segments (I:II:III:IV) 1: 2.7: 2.1: 2.1; head prolonged anteriorly from base of antennae; hemelytra smooth, dorsal pilosity medium-sized, sparse; forefemora thick, pads large; short and thick copulatory spines on left margin of sternite VI, ( Fig. 170 ); pygophore ( Fig. 171 ) with aedeagus showing a processus penniformis ( Fig. 172 ); left paramere straight and basally enlarged, apically subquadrate ( Fig. 173 ). Female: Similar to male in measurements and coloration. Antennal segments (I:II:III:IV) 1: 2.6: 2.4: 2.4. Brachypterous form present. Distribution: Honduras , Nicaragua , Grenada , Grenadines , Guadeloupe , Jamaica , Saint Vincent , Trinidad & Tobago , Colombia . ( Fig. 144 ). FIGURES 170–173. D. varicolor .

Mobile , 2-II-1961 , Alabama , dead on boat. USNM . Discussion: Easily distinguishable by the short second antennal segment, by the left paramere’s being straight and enlarged at base, and by occurrence of brachypterous females.
