ART. 31 BUPBESTID BEETLES FROM BOLIVIA FISHER 43 



angiilated; anterior margin rather strongly arciiately emarginate, 

 with a broadly rounded obsolete median lobe; base transversely 

 feebly sinuate to middle of elytron, then turning obliquely backward 

 to the scutellum, in front of which it is broadly subtruncate ; surface 

 broadly depressed along sides, and with a broad, transverse concave 

 depression along base, extending to exterior third, where the de- 

 pression is deeper and more triangular, and with an obsolete lateral 

 carina, extending from base to middle of pronotum, finely, sparsely, 

 and irregularly punctate, the punctures becoming coarser toward 

 the sides, the intervals smooth on the disk, but becoming finely, 

 densely reticulate along the lateral margins. Scutellum triangular, 

 and obsoletely reticulate. Elytra moderately convex, about as wide 

 as pronotum at base; humeral angles obtusely angulated; sides 

 nearly parallel to apical third (feebly arcuately constricted at 

 middle), then arcuately attenuate to the tips, which are separately 

 narrowly rounded, with the lateral margins finely and densely serrate 

 posteriorly; humeri rather strongly developed; each elytron with a 

 narrow, moderately deep transverse depression along base, and a 

 broad shallow one behind the humerus, and narrowly extended along 

 lateral margin to humeral angle ; surface finely, sparsely, and irregu- 

 larly punctate, with the intervals smooth on the disk, but becoming 

 transversely uneven behind the humerus. Abdomen beneath finely 

 and densely reticulate, with a few fine obsolete punctures intermixed, 

 and sparsely clothed with very short, inconspicuous hairs; last seg- 

 ment broadly subtruncate at apex. Prosternum glabrous, and 

 coarsely sparsely, and irregularly punctate; prosternal process long, 

 broad, sides arcuate, and the apex broadly rounded ; anterior margin 

 broadly arcuately rounded. Metasternum deeply arcuately emargi- 

 nate in front. 



Length 5 mm. ; width, 2.25 mm.

CALLIMICRA CYANOPTERA, new species 



.l/«7e.— Oblong, moderately convex, about equally broadly rounded 

 behind and in front, and rather strongly shining; head and 

 pronotum bright green, with a distinct aureous tinge, the latter more 

 or less fuscous on the disk ; scutellum piceous ; elytra cyancous, with 

 a strong violaceous tinge; beneath piceous. 



Head moderately convex, broadly, obsoletely longitudinally de- 

 pressed from vertex to epistoma, with a round deep depression on 

 the front; occiput with a narrow longitudinal carina; surface 

 coarsely, densely granulose, with numerous large obsolete punctures
