84 TRAVELS AMONGST THE GREAT ANDES. 



a1j(jve in which the isolated greenish jeneous spots of the typical form are 

 united in shape of two very bi'oad transverse bands, occupying almost the 

 entire disk and interrupted only hy the very narrow ilavous bands ; the 

 shape of the latter agrees quite with the yellow mai'kings of the tyi:)e, but the 

 punctuation is rather more closely placed ; the insect is also larger (probably 

 a female). In other I'cspects no ditferences are to be found.

 the rest I must refer to the original description.
