FRED. C. BOWDITCH. 11 



Head with upper half black, except two spots on vertex, 

 antennae with last four or five joints dark, 2d globular, 3d 

 short cylindrical, 4th wider trigonate, thoracic punctures 

 large, reticulate at summit, where the sulcus is much 

 widened, the hump is rather conical, abruptly cut off in rear, 

 well limited at the sides, and with the upper edge carinate, 

 joining the sulcus, which is narrow behind and obsolete in 

 front, elytra with larger punctures than the thorax, the dark 

 area almost devoid of tubercles except one at the extreme 

 rear and another at the extreme outside edge anteriorly, the 

 usual lines are not well marked, but are indicated by frag- 

 ments and small tubercles, of which latter there are three on 

 the outside edge of the black patch, subbasal, median and 

 subsutural (the first and last being the black tubercles above 

 referred to) and about two or three around the apex, of 

 which the sutural is the most noticeable, suture dentate, 

 sides of abdomenwith two obtuse tubercles, the body below 

 is light colored, except the prosternum is dark. 



Seems nearest to dorsalis Lac. which I have not seen. 

 Easily separated by the light color with diamond shape dark 

 spot.

Type. — cf ; Jatahy, Goyaz, cf and 9 ; also one example
