Pai'iiopes coiiciiiiia n. sp. 



9. 10 uim. Head. — The depression above the insertion of the antennje not 

 triangular, but forming a smootii basin with a median impunctate Hue; malar 

 space practically wanting. 



Thorax. — Pronotum seen from above presenting only two lateral points form- 

 ing the anterior and postei'ior corners; parapsidai grooves absent, median black 

 space more closely punctuied than the rest of the remaining parts of the meso- 

 notum; mesonotum and mesopleura as in fea(/eni ; scutellum not sharply separa- 

 ted from mesonotum; postscutelium as in hageni. 



Abdomen. — First segment rather deeply depressed in three places, otherwise as 

 in henshawi ; second segment with a median longitudinal impunctate space, punc- 

 tures larger than on the mesonotum, but separated ; punctures of third abdomi- 

 nal segment adjoining and as coarse as on the second, no median impunctate 

 space; terminal segment with about eighteen irregular spines on the edge, de- 

 pressious as in hageni, punctures uniform, adjoining, except at the base, where 

 they are separated. 



Color. — Greenish, beautifully ornamented with copper color and copjiery reflec- 

 tions, sutures and depressions of abdomen green, blue and purple. Thinly pu- 

 bescent, distinct silvery lateral bands of appressed pubescence on segments one 

 and two.

Parnopes diadeina n. sp. 



O . 7 mm. Head. — Face concave, smooth, covered with a dense appressed 

 pubescence; front with separated punctures and an irregular shallow pit; cly- 

 peus with rather indistiuctly defined separated punctures; malar space incon- 

 spicuous. 



Thorax. — Only an anterior and posterior point aj)parent on each side of the 

 pronotum, pronotum with a distinct depression in the middle, mesonotum with 

 no distinct parapsidai grooves, the median dark space uniformly but not so 

 coarsely punctured as the parapsides; sculpture of raesopleura hidden by ap- 

 pressed silvery pubescence; sculpture of the posterior lateral corners of the scu- 

 tellum hidden by appressed silvery pubescence, other parts of the scutellum 

 punctured like the pronotum; process of postscutelium with parallel sides, the 

 noui)roduced part of the postscutelium hidden by appressed silvery pubescence. 



Abdomen. — With a distinctly depressed margin on the segments; first segment 

 deeply depressed only in the middle of the anterior face, no smooth space on the 

 superior face, sculptui-e of the margin obscured by the appressed silvery pubes- 

 cence, which is not so dense as on the mesopleura; second segment not so long 

 as the first, sculpture and pubescence the same; third segment about as long as 

 the preceding segments together, about thirteen strong spines on the apical mar-
