Egleis adjuncta. 



Egleis adjuncta, Muls. Spec. p. 156. 4. 



Columbia, Bogota, Mexico. Alutaceous, punctuation apparent, 

 sparse, thorax decidedly sinuate behind the posterior angles, 



Egleis perfida. 



Psyllobora perfida, Muls. Mon. p. 130. 9 (T). 



Subhemispherical, short, rounded, punctuation similar to that 

 of E. adjuncta ; thorax less decidedly sinuate at the base, reddish 

 ochreous with two small distant basal spots ; elytra whitish yellow 

 with a reddish margin, and each with seven black spots ; one on 

 the callus, 3 (rather confused) transversely at one-third, one near 

 the margin at two-thirds, two very small parallel to the suture 

 making a triangle with the fifth : under surface and legs pale red, 

 pectus blackish. L. 2i lin. N. Granada (Deyrolle). 



Egleis varicolor. 



Egleis varicolor, Muls. Sjyec. p. 154. 2 (T). 



Sydney (Reiche), Rockhainpton (B. M.). Punctuation of the 

 elytra very coarse and close, that of the thorax very fine and 

 sparse. 



Egleis Edwardsii. 



Egleis Edwardsii, Mids. Spec. p. 158. 5. 



Australia, Queensland. Punctuation rather coarse and evident, 

 thorax slightly emarginate in front, sides rounded, suggesting an 

 affinity to Psyllobora. 



E. Pascoei, sp. n. 



Extremely near E. Edwardsii, but differing in pattern. Thorax 

 whitish yellow with three lines starting from the base (one central 

 and two oblique), these three connected by a transverse sinuous 

 discoidal line (broader than the vertical ones) ; on the bright 

 yellow elytra are four narrow vittee (instead of three), the outer 

 one is interrupted in the middle, and joins the second at the base ; 

 the second and third are joined as in E. Edwardsii but the 

 transverse branch given off at the base is directed obliquely 

 towards the suture ; the fourth extends parallel to the suture 

 from the base and joins the second behind. L. 2| lin. Australia 

 (Pascoe). 



Halyzia. 



Muls. Secur. p. 148 (typ. 16-guttata). 



Resembles the preceding in most respects ; the mesosternum is 

 however slightly emarginate ; the epipleurae of the elytra are very 

 curious, being inclined, very broad, and parallel to about five- 

 sixths when an almost obsolete fold appears to indicate their 

 termination.
