20. Tomaspis jugata, sp.n. (Tab. XI. figg. 14, 14a.) 
Oblongo-ovata, nigra, cerulescens ; capite, pronoto scutelloque obscure ceeruleis vel viridi-gneis, unicoloribus ; 
metopidio rotundato; pronoto longitudine tertid parte longiori, haud nitido, dense sat fortiter rugoso-

Head, pronotum, and scutellum unicolorous, with metallic reflections; pronotum dull, closely and rather 
strongly rugose; tegmina very dark blue, almost black, with the interior basal margin and two bands 
scarlet ; the scarlet basal margin forms a V-shaped mark bounding the posterior margins of the pronotum 
and the scutellum, the hinder part of which meets the first band at the suture; this band is slightly 
waved just before the margins, where it is thickened; the hinder band is curved very slightly towards 
the apex, which is plainly reticulate; abdomen and breast red; legs pitchy, the posterior femora and 
tibiee rufescent. 
Long. 10 millim.; lat. max. 5 millim. 
Hab. Guatumata (coll. Signoret, in Mus. Vind. Ces.). 
There are two specimens in the Vienna Museum standing under the MS. name 
of Sphenorhina levicollis, Signoret: one, labelled as from New Granada, is slightly 
immature, and has the pronotum bright, shining, and rather finely punctured; the 
other, from Guatemala, has the pronotum dull and rugose, and it is from this that I 
have described the species.
