NEW SPECIES OF DOKYPHORA. 55 



Head greenish black, opaque, very sparingly and finely punctured ; 

 antennas short, fulvous, the terminal joints broadly flattened ; thorax 

 nearly three times broader than long, the sides straight at the base, 

 rounded before the middle, the anterior angles broadly produced, the 

 surface opaque, silky, greenish, the disc with a few fine punctures, the 

 sides with some stronger ones ; the anterior margin, the angles, and 

 (sometimes) the sides more or less stained with fulvous ; scutellum 

 black, smooth ; elytra with their greatest convexity near the base, 

 finely punctured in irregular double rows, flavous, the shoulders and 

 the lateral margins below the middle with a dark green spot, a narrow 

 short transverse stripe directly below the base, a triangular sutural 

 spot below the scutellum, and the suture narrowly dark green ; the 

 shoulder spot extends also to the elytral epipleuras, which are flavous 

 at their other portion, except at their inner margin ; the under side 

 piceous, strongly punctured ; legs fulvous ; the mesosternal process 

 short, flat, and straight. 



Hab. Brazils ?. 



Of this species, which would perhaps best be placed near 

 D. axillaris, Germ., two specimens are before me; one in the 

 collection of the Oxford Museum, the other in that of my own. 

 They were probably obtained in some parts of the Brazils. I 

 know of no other species with which it could be confounded, but 

 the system of coloration and general size and shape of the insect 

 greatly resemble that of a species of Deuterocampta. 



Doryphora brunneostriata, n. sp. 



Greenish aeneous ; the lower joints of the antennae, the palpi, and 

 the tarsi fulvous ; head and thorax flavous, with brownish stripes and 

 spots ; elytra subremotely and semi-regularly punctured, flavous, with 

 nine more or less interrupted brown longitudinal stripes. Length, 

 12 mill. 



Head sparingly and finely punctured, flavous, with two brownish 

 stripes in shape of a triangle ; the labrum, palpi, and the lower four 

 joints of the antennas fulvous, the other joints of the latter black, 

 flattened, but rather elongate ; thorax three times broader than long, 

 the lateral margins rather rounded and slightly widened in front, the 

 anterior portion strongly produced in front of the eyes, the surface 

 remotely and irregularly punctured ; the ground colour flavous, the 

 punctures piceous, the middle of the disc marked with two oblique 

 brown stripes, which, starting from the anterior margin, nearly unite 

 at their ends, and are joined to another irregular shaped transverse 

 band placed at the base ; scutellum piceous ; elytra with the most 

 convex portion near the base, from thence to the apex strongly de- 

 flexed, irregularly and semi-remotely impressed with piceous punc- 

 tures, here and there arranged in rows, flavous, the interstices marked 

 with nine longer or shorter narrow brownish stripes, leaving tbe 

 lateral margin rather broadly of the ground colour, their epipleurae of 

 the latter colour ; the under side and the femora greenish piceous ; the 

 margins of the abdominal segments and the rest of the legs fulvous ; 

 mesosternal process long, stout, and straight. 



Hab. Bolivia.
