 pilose.

 and dense pubescence of mingled yellow and black hairs ; metopidium broadly 

 convex, broader than high ; humeral angles large, broad, auricular, strongly 

 margined with bright red ; median carina indistinctly percurrent ; posterior 

 process short, broad, triangular, margined with red, apex suddenly acuminate, 

 tipped with red, reaching just beyond internal angles of tegmina but not 

 reaching end of abdomen. 



Tegmina long, narrow, subhyaline. much wrinkled ; veins strong, promi- 

 nent, marked with black and brown ; base coriaceous, opaque, pubescent, lightj^ 

 punctate, with the veins of the costal and central basal area red ; tip rounded 

 and extending far beyond end of abdomen. 



Under surface entirely yellow and densely pubescent; first and second 

 tibiae with bright red median bands ; first and second tarsi dark brown ; hind 

 legs entirely light yellow. 



Length from front of head to tips of tegmina 13 mm.; width between 

 extremities of humeral angles 6.4 mm. 



Type : female. 



Locality : Esperito Santo, Brazil. Date and collector unknown. 



Near Hoplophora pubcscens Buckton and apparently closely related

 ently marked and with a differently striped pronotum. 



Large, broad, very hairy, dull yellow, coarsely punctate; first and 

 second tibiae brilliantly marked with red; humeral angles and basal

Head subquadrate. yellow, finely punctate, densely pubescent, deflexed ; 

 basal margin nearly straight ; eyes large, prominent, brown ; ocelli large, 

 yellow, nearly twice as far from each other as from the eyes and situated just 

 above a line drawn through centers of eyes; margins of genae sinuate; 

 clypeus as wide as long, extending for nearly half its length below inferior 

 margins of genas, projecting slightly beyond genae on either side, tip broadly 

 rounded and pubescent.
