as wide apart as this species can produce; thus fig. 93 represen 
a form I have never seen, which has the superiors almost white 
crossed with very strong wavy transverse bands; fig. 94 is an 
extreme form of what I call ab. miaxtana. 7 ae 
Ab. squamulana is evidently a very rare form. The only — 
British example I have seen is a very beautiful one from the 
New Forest in the collection of Mr. South, which is given in 
fig. 9 of the plate. It agrees well with Hubner’s figure, ‘ Tort.,’ 
95, except that it has the ferruginous patch which is missing 
in that figure but is found in ‘ Vogel,’ fig. 14. 
Hiibner’s fig. 14, ‘ Vogel,’ I describe: Superiors greyish 
brown with a series of short black lines on the costa and on the 
hind half of the inner margin; at the base of the inner margin 
there is a ferruginous patch, which is not apparent in ‘ Tort.,’ 
fia. 95, but in this figure there are some of the black longitudinal ° 
lines that are found in the figure in ‘ Vogel.’

SOUTH AMERICAN EUMOLPIDA, MOSTLY OF THE 
GROUP COLASPINI. 
By Frep. C. Bowpitcu. 
(Continued from p. 172.) 
Colasyis fuscipes, sp. nov. 
Small. Bright rufous ; eyes black, jaws, antenne and legs almost 
entirely dark fuscous; thorax densely punctured except the discal — 
‘base; sides strongly unidentate at the middle. Elytra strongly 
transversely depressed; the base and sides longitudinally ridged, and 
with raised rugosities ; the lateral ridge or costa well defined nearly _ 
to the apex; on the remaining surface the punctuation is lineate, 
with rather raised interspaces, becoming costate-at the apex. 
Type, 9, San Augustin, Mapiri, 3500 ft., September, 1895 
(Stuart). 
Length, 3:5 mm. 
Head smooth, convex, only slightly depressed between the 
~ eyes, punctate; thorax slightly collared anteriorly, thickly and 
quite evenly punctate; basal ridges of the elytra are best seen 
by looking squarely from behind parallel with the top of the 
elytra, when they appear separate and plain, being broken by 
the basal depression, on the side becoming broken into 
separate tubercles, and the disc lineate punctures. The 3, which 
is unknown, is probably without tubercles or coste. 
Colaspis obliqua, sp. nov. 2 
Small; elongate parallel. Body below light brown with eneous ~ 
lustre; tip of abdomen rufous; above, bright brown with a distinct
