spot which lies across them. Under side of abdomen pale ochra- 

 ceous ; legs black ; femora grooved beneath at the base, edges of the 

 groove ciliated with pale hairs. 



Having only seen a single specimen of this curious species, I am 

 unwilling to give it a new generic name, although its short form, 

 simple sternum, grooved and ciliated femora, and the soft under side 

 of the abdomen, with other characters, show that it differs considerably 

 from PhcBdinus.

Hab. Ega, on the banks of the Amazon {Coll. Bates). 



A most delicately coloured species of the genus Phoebe of Serville. 

 The head, thorax, and body are clothed with a dense white pubes- 

 cence ; the hinder part of the thorax has a pale violet band with a 

 projecting lobe in front. The elytra are covered with a most deli- 

 cate pale violet pubescence, passing into white at the tip, and with a 

 rather wide transverse white band before the tip, widest at the sutures. 

 The antennae spring from a portion of the head, which divides each 

 eye into two portions ; the first four joints are pale yellow, the others 

 are brown ; the face has two projecting upturned horns, which are 

 sharp and brown, and when viewed in front have a semicircular out- 

 line. The abdominal segments beneath in the middle and at the 

 end are tinged with yellowish-pink. The legs are of a delicate 

 yellow.
