2 [January, 



1. — Eu4ro2)Jioi sis hierocjlyphicus, n. sp. 



Oval, pointed behind, convex, shining ; rufous or testaceous, the prothorax 

 with four small oblong spots on the disc (two along the median line, one of them 

 basal, and one on each side aliout midway Ijetween them), and the scutellum, 

 black ; the elytra yellow, with the suture, outer limb, and a broad, posteriorly 

 attenuate stripe on the disc, partly enclosing a rather long, curved streak at the 

 base, and a transverse fascia at the midtUe (formed by an inward extension of 

 the yellow ground-colour), black ; the antennae with joints 1-4 and the tip of 11 

 rufo-testaceous ; the elytra thickly, the rest of the siu-face more sparsely, clothed 

 with rather long, pallid pubescence. Eyes narrowlj' separated, strongly trans- 

 verse, very deeply einarginate. Antennae widened outwards, joints 1-4 more 

 slender than those following, 3 and 4 equal in length, 5-10 stout, gi-adually 

 becoming shorter and wider, 11 ovate. Prothorax rather sparsely, minutely 

 punctate, the basal foveae shallow. Elytra closely, finely, confusedly punctate, 

 the rows of seriate punctures showing through from beneath, the epipleura 

 hollowed. Beneath finely punctate. Prosternal pi'ocess rather broad, notched 

 at apex. Mesosternal keel very prominent. Length 5-7j, breadth 3-4? mm. 



Hah.: Amazons, Para, Ega (Bates). 



Twelve specimens, varying in size, the elytral markings divided 

 into streaks in one of them. Near E. 15-maculatus Cast., from Brazil 

 and Peru. 



2. — Eustrophopsis decemgutfatus, n. sp. ' 



Oval, pointed behind, convex, shining; testaceous or fiavous, joints 6-10 of 

 the antennae black, the elytra each with five spots or streaks — two, oblong, just 

 below the base, another near the outer margin beyond the middle, one large, 

 obliqvie, oval, on the disc before the middle, and one, oblique, elongate, towards 

 the apex -and the suture to near the tip (more broadly so for some distance 

 below the base, at the middle, and towards the apex) black or piceous ; clothed 

 with long, pallid, shaggy pubescence. Eyes narrowly separated, strongly trans- 

 verse. Antennae widened outwards, joints 1-4 more slender than those following. 

 Prothorax minutely puncta.te. Elyti-a finely striato-punctate, the interstices 

 confusedly pvinctate. Beneatli closely, finely punctate. Prosternal process 

 rather broad, notched at apex. Mesosternal keel very prominent. Length (5-6i, 

 breadth .Si mm. 



Hah.: Amazons, Ega (Bates) ; Brazil, Rio de Janeiro (Fry). 



Three specimens. Near E. \h-macnlatus Cast., differing from it 

 in the immaculate prothorax and the ten-spotted elytra, the latter dis- 

 tinctly striato-punctate, the seriate punctures in the allied forms not 

 reaching the outer surface, Imt showing through from beneath. In the 

 Ega examples these seriate impressions are much finer on the disc, and 

 scarcely distinguishable from tliose of the interstices. The widening 

 of the dark sutural border tends to form three, common, oblong marks 

 in one of the Kio de Janeiro insects.
