ART. 31 BUPRESTID BEETLES FROM BOLIVIA FISHER 23 



convex, the sides not as densely pubescent, and the claws similar on 

 all feet, cleft near the middle, the inner tooth slender, not quite as 

 long as the outer one, and not turned inward. 



Length, 5.7-7.25 mm.; width, 1.2-1.4 mm. 



Type locality. — Cachuela Esperanza (Beni Eiver), Bolivia. 



Type., allotype., and paratype. — Cat. No. 26974, U.S.N.M. 



Described from three specimens, one male and two females, col- 

 lected at the type locality during M'arch, 1922. 



The paratype differs from the allotype in having the pubescence 

 on the elytra pale yellow, and the carina on pygidium not projecting 

 beyond the tip. 



AGRILUS MANNI, new species 



Female. — Form large, robust and subopaque; head purpureous, 

 with a distinct cupreous tinge; pronotum and elytra purpureous, 

 with 'a feeble olivaceous reflection, and each elytron with a broad, 

 obsolete pubescent vitta along the suture; beneath brunneus, with 

 purplish or cupreous reflections, and more or less ornated with yel- 

 lowish-white pubescent areas. 



Head with the front rather wide, nearly flat, sides broadly arcu- 

 ately expanded, with a broad, deep concavity on the vertex and 

 occiput, composed of three depressions 'arranged in the form of a 

 triangle, of w^hich the posterior one is the deepest, the depression ex- 

 tending transversely to the lateral margins; there is also a broad 

 shallow longitudinal depression behind the epistoma; surface 

 coarsely, irregularly and rather densely punctate, the punctures 

 more or less confluent and forming irregular rug'ae, the intervals 

 obsoletely granulose, and clothed with a few very short cinereous 

 hairs behind the epistoma; epistoma narrow between the antennae, 

 feebly arcuately emarginate in front, with a broad, obsolete tooth 

 on e'ach side of the emargination ; antennae short, extending a little 

 beyond the anterior margin of pronotum, and serrate from the 

 fourth joint. Pronotum one and one-third times as wide as long, 

 apex and base nearly equal in width, and widest at middle; sides 

 rather strongly arcuately rounded; when viewed from the side the 

 upper margin is sharply defined 'and feebly sinuate, and the lower 

 one represented by an abbreviated short carina connected to the 

 upper margin at middle and not extending to the front margin ; an- 

 terior margin feebly arcuately emarginate, with an obsolete broadly 

 rounded merian lobe ; base broadly arcuately emarginate from pos- 

 terior angles to scutellum, in front of which the lobe is subtruncate ; 

 disk moderately convex, with a broad, moderately deep median de- 

 pression, extending from anterior margin to base, and becoming 

 deeper posterioi-ly, and on each side with a rather deep depression 

 extending alono; inner side of lateral carin'a to the lateral margin
