evenly distributed, cliestnut-brown, tlie suture accompanied by a 

 narrow flavous band, the lateral margins and the epipleurse of the 

 same colour ; below and the legs dark brown, femora unarmed. 



Hah. Brazil, Espiritu Santo, 



I know of no similarly coloured species of Colaspoides ; 

 the unicolorous variety resembles C. vulgata, Lef., and 

 C. nigrimana, Lef., but the general size is much larger 

 and the colour of the antennae and sculpturing of the 

 elytra quite difierent from either species, 



Colaspoides halyi, sp. n. 



Fulvous, the vertex of the head and the apical joints of the 

 antennae black, thorax with a few fine punctures, elytra closely 

 punctate-striate, fulvous, a broad transverse band at the base and 

 another below the middle, not extending to the apex, black. 



Var, Head entirely fulvous. 



Length 6 inillim. 



Head rather closely and distinctly punctured, depressed between 

 the eyes, the epistome broad, similarly punctured, labrum flavous, 

 antennse extending below the middle of the elytra, fulvous, the outer 

 six joints black, third and fourth joints equal, the fifth longer, 

 terminal joints very slightly widened ; thorax twice as broad as 

 long, fulvous, the sides strongly rounded, the surface with a few 

 very fine punctures irregularly distributed ; scutellum fulvous ; elytra 

 very closely punctiu^ed in irregular rows, the punctures of even size 

 and distinct to the apex, with a broad transverse black band, 

 extending to one-third of their length, its posterior edge sinuate and 

 not extending quite to the lateral margins, immediately below the 

 middle another equally broad band of triangular shape occupies the 

 posterior portion of the elytra, leaving the lateral and apical margins 

 of the ground colour, these two bands are separated by a narrow 

 fulvous band of nearly regular shape ; underside and legs entirely 

 fulvous. 



Hah. Brazil, Espiritu Sauto, 



Of this well-marked species I possess three specimens of 

 both sexes, one of which has the vertex of the head black 

 but differs in no other way ; it may be separated from 

 C. hifasciata. by the entirely fulvous thorax and the 

 different position of the elytral bands ; from C. fasciata, 

 Lef, the insect differs in the unspotted thorax and in the 

 black portion of the elytra, which does not extend to the
