CYCLONEDA. 1G5 



Cycloneda melanocera.* 



Daulis melanocera, Muls. Spec. p. 333. 27 (T). 



Columbia (Dupont). Allied to G. ferruginea, but with more 

 evident punctuation ; the surface is alutaceous, the elytra and 

 thorax with pale margins, the former with a faint metallic lustre, 

 probably more evident in some specimens. 



Cycloneda rabida. 



Daulis rubida, Muls. Spec, p. 340. 31 (T). 



Daulis vigilans, Muls. Spec. p. 340. 32 (T). 



Columbia, Cayenne, Ega (Bates). I have united these two 

 species, which differ in the coloration of the thorax, on the 

 strength of a fine series taken by Mr Bates at Ega ; in extreme 

 varieties the yellow margin of the thorax has a brown pupil (as in 

 C. conspicillata). The punctuation varies somewhat in intensity. 

 The first ventral segment is very short, so that the abdominal 

 plates appear small, this is also the case in G. sanguinea. 



These seven species agree in their more evident punctuation, 

 and in having a similarly coloured thorax, with an ocellated pupil 

 on either side. 



Cycloneda graphiptera. 



Daulis graphiptera, Muls. Spec. p. 309. 10 (T). 



N. Granada. The elytral markings are arranged, 1, 3, 2, 1. 



Cycloneda tredecim-signata. 



Daulis lS-signata, Muls. Spec. p. 311. 11 (T). 

 Brazil ; elytral markings, 1, 3, 2. 



Cycloneda Darestei. 



Daulis Darestei, Muls. Mon. p. 228. 36 (T). 



Hemispherical, thorax as in the preceding, elytra, each with 

 eight brown irregular spots ; 1 basal in form of a V (probably two 

 united), 1 small just outside the callus, 3 transversely placed in the 

 middle, the last one reaching the suture, and running up it to the 

 scutellum, 2 across at two-thirds, the second large, like an inverted 

 V; 1 subapical. L. 2 lin. Ega (Bates). 



Cycloneda conjugata. 



Daulis conjugata, Muls. Spec. p. 313. 12. 



Brazil ; elytral spots normally 2, 2, 2, but sometimes united.
