EPILAMPEA.— CALOLAMPEA. 67 



In this species the marking of the pronotum is intermediate between that of E. azteca 

 and that of E. caraibea ; the markings of the elytra are also intermediate, being more 

 finely and less irregularly punctured than in E. azteca, but more irregularly than iu 

 E. caraibea ; the colour of the abdomen on the upperside is like that of E. caraibea.^

Generi Epilamprce simillimum ; differt tamen feminis apteris vel elytris valde abbreviatis squamiformibus ; 

 marium elytris complete explicates vel atrophicis. Femora anteriora subtus margine postico inermi, 

 tantum spina apicali instructo, margine antico inermi vel basi spinoso, apice spinis 1 vel 2 majoribus. 



Synopsis specierum. 



a. Femora anteriora spinosa. Elytra 2 rudimentalia vel nulla. 



b. Femora subtus margine postico inermi ; femora anteriora margine antico basi spinis 

 normalibus, apice spinulis minimis piliformibus instructo. (Blattinse, Type 2, Plata- 

 modes, antea p. 30). Elytra $ rudimentalia, 6 completa. Tarsi graciles, metatarso 

 postico quam reliqui articuli computati haud breviore. — [gracilis, Br. (Australia)]; 

 [heusseriana*, Sss.]. 

 bb. Femora 2 a , 3 a subtus in utroque margine spinosa. Tarsi breves, crassiusculi. Feminse 

 apterse. Mares ? — 1 . brevitarsis, Sss. 

 aa. Femora anteriora in utroque margine mutica ; posteriora saltern in margine postico rare 

 spinosa. Elytra marium completa. — 2. bispinosa, Sss.

2. Calolampra bispinosa, Sauss. (Tab. III. fig. 26.) 



Calolampra bispinosa, Sauss. Societas Entomologica, 1893, p. 58. 



$ . Gracilis, rufo-testacea. Caput prominulum, crassiuscule punctatum, ocellis, ore efc antennis testaceis.

* In this species the anterior femora, <S , are armed as in Epilampra. The $ has also occasionally one spine 

 on the posterior margin of the anterior femora. It makes a transition to the true Epilampra.
