SOUTH AMERICAN EUMOLPIDA. 75 
angulate at the middle, thickly and rather heavily punctate, with a 
few irregular smooth places on the disc, and with four well-marked 
fovex placed transversely behind the middle (they show best looking 
from the front) ; elytra closely geminate punctate (except next the 
suture); intervals costate, the alternate ones wider and stronger. 
Type, 9, St. Catharina, Brazil. 
Length, 4:5 mm. 
Head everywhere thickly punctate; antenne short, dark, 
rufous towards the base, the first six joints shining, the rest and 
the base of the femora more or less rufous. Until the ¢ is seen 
it is difficult to assign its nearest relative. 
Colaspis 12-notate, sp. nov. 
Small, spotted, slender, elongate. Body beneath very dark brown, 
with sides of prothorax red; above, head, thorax and scutellum red 
with black eyes and jaws; elytra dark, dull, bluish black, each 
side with six yellowish spots placed 2-2-1-1; legs flavous; upper 
sides tinged with black. 
Type, one ¢, Cochabamba, Boliv. (Germ.), one 9, Beni R., Boliv. 
Length 4:5 mm. 
Nearly related to ornatipennis, Jac., and possibly a variety of 
it; antenne dark brown, base rufous; head very finely punctate, 
strongly transversely depressed between the eyes, vertex foveate ; 
thorax slightly collared in front, sparsely and finely punctate, 
sides moderately angulate, sinuate just behind the middle ; elytral 
depression barely showing just below the shoulder, surface punc- 
tate striate with smooth intervals at apex; the light spots are 
arranged two on the disc before and two behind the middle, 
small and round, not marginal; a larger transverse one near 
the tip, and the last small, at the extreme apex ; easily recognised 
by the twelve spots. 
Colaspis cinctipennis, sp. nov. 
Small; spotted, slender, elongate. Body beneath yellow, with 
abdomen dark brown; head and thorax shining flavous, eyes 
black; elytra dark, violet plum colour, with a wide sublateral flavous 
band running from shoulder to shoulder, also on each elytron three 
spots—a small basal next the shoulder, a larger triangular, a little 
before the middle, placed so that the base is towards the suture and 
with the apex joined to the lateral band, and a submedian elongate 
spot next the suture. 
Type, one ¢, Dr. Hahnel, Amazon (Staudinger). 
Length, 3 mm. 
Nearly allied to my 12-notata; antenne relatively long, light 
brown, rufous at the base; head finely punctate with the usual 
cross depression; thorax slightly collared, lightly punctate, especi- 
ally on the disc, sides strongly angulate at the middle ; scutellum
