 Podoxenus iripennis sp. nov. 



Yellow, fulvous; mandibles, eyes, tarsi, upper half of 5 joint and joints 6, 7, and 

 9-10-11 of antennae black, thorax margined, strongly angulate at middle, elytra 

 suffused with cyaneous, except at posterior third. 



Type 1 9 Rio Madeira length 6j mm. 



Head shiny impunctate, except be! ween the eyes where a deep transverse fovea 

 shows a few punctures, labrum large almost square, epistome broadly emarginate, 

 vertex convex, thorax about half wider than long, strongly margined on the sides, 

 which are regularly and sharply angulate at the middle, anterior angle sharp and 

 prominent, surface shiny, coarsely and irregularly punctate, more crowded and 

 semi confluent at the sides, elytra with a moderate subbasal depression, the surface 

 thickly, rather coarsely punctured on the disk and behind and having a decided 

 tendency to a geminate arrangement, the rows as usual becoming single towards 

 the apex which is strongly costate, the costse being continued as obsolete smooth 

 lines for some distance forward, the cyaneous coloring avoids the sutural and 

 lateral edges as well as the apex and shows only as a faint coppery reflection, 

 body beneath entirely pale, except for the dark tarsi and the extreme tips of middle 

 and posterior tibiae. 



The coloring of the elytra, the evenly angulate thorax and the 

 sharply colored antenna? will help to separate this form. 



Neobrotica brasiliensis sp. nov. 



Head and thorax reddish yellow with a touch of green (thorax perhaps in living 

 specimens green) antenna? pallid, elytra pallid yellowish green, with a basal band 

 broken into 4 spots, a wide median band dilated externally and a thick semi lunate 

 ante apical spot brownish black, feet yellow, tibiae and tarsi brown, body below 

 yellow with pectus brown.
