PSYLLOBORA. \')7 



Psyllobora conspurcata. 



Psyllobora conspurcata, Buhem. Eug. Resa. p. 203 (1859) T. 



Psyllobora conglutinans, Muls. Mon. p. 134. 18 (18G6) T. 



Also allied to P. confluens, but with nearly all the spots united 

 amongst each other. 1 and 3 are united (thus destroying the 

 white disc of P. confluens), 2 and 4 also, and 2 is moreover united 

 by a fine line from its humeral corner to 5, which in its turn is 

 produced to the margin; the apical spots appear to be five, of 

 which the upper one is merged in the medial range. Brazil % 

 (Deyrolle), California (Boheman). Mulsant appends no locality 

 or collection, but I find a mutilated specimen with this name in 

 Deyrolle's collection. 



Psyllobora meticulosa. 



Psyllobora meticulosa, Muls. Mon. p. 135. 20 (T). 



Allied to P. confluens but more ovate, and more strongly 

 punctured. 5 is produced to the margin, and the apical cross of 5 

 is much distorted; apparently also a small submarginal dash is 

 added at about five-sixths. S. Paulo (Deyrolle).

Allied to P. conflurus in markings, but larger, more convex, 

 subovate. Thorax with four brown spots. Elytra with the usual 

 spots, all free and not united with each other; 1 ol triangular, 

 3 large, triangular, 4 and 5 oblong, the four spots of the cross 

 large, not crowded together, G and 9 triangular. L. 2jj lin. Ega 

 (Bates).
