Phytophagous Coleoptera from Peru. r)19 



sides of the metathorax, the inner side of the tilDia;, and the 

 margins of the abdominal segments. The surface of the elytra 

 is also finely punctate in semi-striatc rows and the intervals are 

 aciculate; but as I have only a single specimen and have not 

 compared it with the type I am scarcely justified in describing it 

 as new. 



Doryp](ora fnlvoiKitata^ n. sp. 



Rotundate, subdepressed ; above opaque, dark bluish-green; 

 elytra punctate, the punctures arranged in geminate rows on the 

 disc, confused externally, with four narrow transverse irregular 

 liands, and a spot below the base, fulvous. Length (5 lines. 



Head minutely punctate, plane, labrum piceous, anterior mar- 

 gin testaceous; antennaj not reaching farther than the base of 

 the thorax, the first five joints shining blackish-green, the rest 

 opaque black; thorax narrow, sides nearly straight at the base, 

 niTich roiinded towards the apex, the anterior angles acute and 

 slightly produced, surface more strongly punctured thau the 

 head, but the punctures very irregularly distributed, a distinctly 

 raised central line extending from the base nearly to the apex; 

 scutellum impunctate; elytra very much rounded, very deflexed 

 from the middle towards the sides and only slightly convex at 

 the base, deeply geminate punctate-striate near the suture, the 

 rest of the surface less deeply confusedly punctate, dark bluish- 

 green, Avithout gloss, each elytron with two small spots near 

 the scutellum and four very narrow tranverse zigzag bands 

 on the disc (not extending to the suture), fulvous, the last band 

 emitting more or less distinct vitta; to the apex. Underside 

 rather shining. 



This curiously shaped Doryphora is remarkable fi-om its 

 general resemblance to some of the Cassidida', for one of which 

 I at fii'st mistook it. 



Stilodes fulvipcnnis, n. sp. 



Oblong ovate, beneath .piceous; thorax black; elytra reddish- 

 brown, the suture and the extreme lateral margin narrowly 

 ajneous or black. Length 3 lines. 



Head distinctly but not closely punctate, black, antenna; a 

 little longer than the thorax, piceous, the foru- basal joints 

 flavous, shining. Thorax transvei'se, sides evenly rounded.
