Cycloneda Fryii, sp. n. 



Hemispherical, black, alutaceous, punctuation sparse, obsolete; 

 head yellow, thorax with the anterior angles, the anterior margin 

 very narrowly, an obsolete discoidal line, and 2 small dots on either 

 side rich yellow ; elytra yellow, the margin narrowly black, the 

 posterior half black, in the form of a triangle extending ob- 

 liquely from the scutellum to about two-thirds of the margin. 

 L. 2^ lin. Peru (Fry). Ecuador (Buckley). This very conspicuous 

 species has been kindly presented to me by Mr Fry, to whom 

 I have dedicated it. Varieties have the thorax entirely orange.

Muls. Spec. p. 274 (typ. Norrisii). 



The excessive variability of the colouring in some species of 

 this genus renders it almost impossible to select specific characters; 

 it seems peculiar to S. America and Mexico, for the species which 

 Mulsant has added from the Old World are all referable to 

 other genera. Elytra margined more or less visibly, mesosternum 

 sinuate.

N. Granada, Ecuador. I have been compelled to extend the 

 list of varieties of this inconstant species from inspection of the 

 fine series in Mr Fry's cabinet, and a short set brought from his
