South American Eumol^ndm. 505 



at the base, the outer one surrounding the shoulders, the inner one 

 rounded in shape, another spot is placed close to the lateral margin

 apex ; below and the legs fulvous. 



Hob. Brazil, Espiritu Santo. 



This species cannot be the C. occllata, Lef., which is 

 described as having the elytra black with five fulvons 

 spots on each. I do not think I err in considering the

 by any difference in structural characters.
