testaceous), and nine having the elytra black, with a small reddish 

 humeral patch only. The dark variety is coloured like Z7. nodosa 

 Champ., also from Ega, but the latter has three smooth, transverse, 

 tuberculiform elevations along each side of the middle of the disc of the 

 prothorax, instead of a very deep transverse excavation extending across 

 the centre as in U. peruviana. The head in the maculate form is very 

 rugose, almost smooth in the dark variety, intermediate examples occur- 

 ring. The antennae usually have one or two of the terminal joints 

 ochreous, 11 being a little longer than 10 in S ■ The metathoracie epi- 

 sterna are deeply sulcate along their inner margin. The closely packed 

 seriate punctures on the elytra are coarse and deep, the interstices 

 nari'owly costate.

 concave on their anterior aspect, tapering towards the apex, 11 narrow, nearly 

 as long as 8-10 united.

Pic's description of IT. annulipes applies to the four examples before 

 me, except as regards the rather stout, subfiliform antennae, these organs 

 in the present insect being flabellate and formed as in the male oi Disema 

 {Barsenis') fiilvipes Pasc. The specimens examined have the liead quite 

 small, roughly punctate ; the prothorax coarsely, closely punctate on the 

 disc and excavate towards the outer margin, the sides broadly, and those 

 of the elytra also to a variable extent to near the apex, testaceous, the 

 rest of their surfaces nigro-piceous ; the elytra with closely packed series 

 of transverse crenate punctures, the interstices 4-9 narrowly costate ; the 

 legs piceous, the femora with a flavous or reddish annulus beyond 

 the middle ; the metathoracie episterna without groove. One of the 

 males in the Museum was acquired in 1843. The locality Tijuca 

 is not far from Rio de Janeiro.
