NEW SPECIES OF DORYPHORA. 53 



the case here; the elytra in D. landolti are also described as 

 geminate and punctate-striate, and their design is different. 

 D. balyi, Stal, is another closely allied species, but has a mucro- 

 nate and punctured thorax, and the elytra are given with flavous 

 margins and bands. 



Doryphora scripta, n. sp. 



Flavous ; head and thorax closely punctured, stained with obscure 

 piceous spots ; elytra distinctly punctate-striate, the sutural and lateral 

 margins, a large subtriangular elongate patch, and a triangular smaller 

 spot near the apex dark fulvous. Length, 10 mill. 



Of regular ovately rounded shape ; the head closely and finely 

 punctured, obscure fulvous, a narrow space surrounding the eyes 

 paler ; labrum broad, flavous, as well as tbe palpi ; antennae with the 

 lower five joints flavous, the following two fuscous, the others wanting ; 

 thorax three times broader than long, the lateral margins slightly 

 rounded and obliquely narrowed towards the apex, the anterior angles 

 acute, but not mucronate, the surface rather crowded with differently - 

 sized small punctures, those at the sides larger ; the ground colour 

 flavous, the disc stained with three very obscure piceous spots placed 

 triangularly, the sides with a similar coloured oblique stripe, and 

 another small spot above ; scutellum flavous ; elytra rather strongly 

 punctate-striate, tbe punctures closely and not very regularly placed, 

 the interstices finely aciculate here and there ; the ground colour and 

 the epipleuras flavous, the disc with a longitudinal brown sutural 

 stripe, which extends anteriorly as far as the third row of punctures, 

 but posteriorly only to the second row ; this stripe is joined at the 

 apex to a similar but narrower band, which accompanies the lateral 

 margins ; a large brown subtriangular patch extends from the base to 

 below the middle, and a smaller triangular spot occupies the posterior 

 portion ; the elytra may also be described as dark brown, interrupted 

 by a subsutural and sublateral narrow flavous stripe, which is joined 

 by another transverse curved narrow band below the middle dividing 

 the two brown patches ; under side and legs flavous, impunctate ; 

 mesosternal process stout and slightly curved. 



Hah. ?. 



Somewhat allied to D. whitei, Baly, but of different coloration 

 and sculpturing. The single specimen in my collection was 

 obtained by Mr. Whiteley, probably in Colombia. 



Doryphora specularis, n. sp. 



Pale fulvous or flavous ; thorax finely rugose-punctate, with two 

 small spots ; elytra closely and strongly punctured, flavous, the lateral 

 margins metallic-green, the suture anteriorly, including a small flavous 

 spot and a broad discoidal longitudinal band pointed posteriorly, 

 piceous. Length, 10 mm. 



Of rather depressed, posteriorly deflexed shape ; the head finely 

 and rather closely punctured, flavous, the labrum testaceous ; antenna? 

 black, the basal two joints flavous below, terminal joints longer than 

 broad ; thorax rather more than twice as broad as long, the sides 

 nearly straight, the anterior angles mucronate, the surface irregularly
