ous inverted comma-shaped marks in front; elytra with a long pale 
ochreous lanceolate stripe near the costa, not touching the base nor 
reaching the apex ; abdomen ochreous-white at the apex. 
From St. Paul's. 
*45. PHoTURIS? FEMORALIS. Curt. 
Fusco-ochrea; capite antennisque piceis; thorace scutelloque ochreis; ely- 
trorum marginibus pallidis, abdomínisque segmentis 5to 6toque albidis ; 
pedibus fuscis ; femoribus ad basin rufis. 
Length 6, breadth 2 lines. 
Fuscous-ochre, shining, minutely punctured and pubescent; head and antennae 
piceous ; thorax semiorbicular, with broad margins, the base sinuated, 
the angles slightly lobed, ochreous as well as the scutellum, suture and 
margin of elytra somewhat ochreous: legs brown, thighs bright ochre, 
excepting the apex: 5th and 6th abdominal segments ochreous-white 
beneath. 
The drooping head, large eyes, shield-formed thorax, and phosphoric seg- 
ments of the abdomen indicate an affinity to the Lampyrides, but it is in habit 
a Telephorus. I have many species, all agreeing in the above characters with 
this from Rio, which I imagine belong to Dejean’s genus Photuris. 
*46. CALLIANTHIA FALLAX. Z7//. 
From St. Paul's: this seems to be one of the most common and variable 
species in Brazil. 
*47. CALLIANTHIA FLAVIPES. Fub. 
Fabricius gives China as the country which this species inhabits; but I 
think this specimen from St. Catherine’s is unquestionably a variety only of 
his insect.

Coeruleo-niger; thoracis margine basali ad angulum utrumque macula pulchre 
rubra terminatá.
