DESCRIPTIONS OF SOUTH AMERICAN CHRYSOMELlN^. 191 



Hah. Peru (M. de Matliam ; collections, M. Oberthur's and 

 my own) ; also Amazons (Staudinger). 



This species may be known principally by the flavous lateral 

 margin of the thorax, and the sculpture and number of spots on 

 the elytra ; it seems allied to D. fiilvopiistidata, Baly, but differs 

 in the elytral puncturing and number of the spots. 



DORYPHORA BARTLETTI, n, Sp. 



Fulvoiis ; the head with two, the thorax with four greenish spots, finely 

 punctured ; elytra finely punctate-striate, piceous, the third interspace and a 

 narrow sublateral stripe, joined at the apex and at the base, flavous. Length, 

 3 lines. 



Head finely granulate, with a few minute punctures at the vertex, 

 fulvous, with two obscure metallic green elongate spots ; labrum flavous ; 

 antennae extending to the base of the thorax, the terminal five joints trans- 

 versely widened, broader than long, the basal two joints stained with gi-eeuish- 

 aeneous above ; thorax transverse, about three times broader than long, the 

 sides perfectly straight, only rounded near the anterior angles, the latter 

 mucronate, disc minutely granulate and sparingly punctured, like the head, 

 fulvous, all the margins and four large spots placed transversely, greenish, 

 slightly metallic ; elytra very finely punctate-striate, the three sutural strite 

 regular, the others less so, a sutural broad and a lateral narrow band 

 piceous, the third interstice as well as the ninth narrowly fulvous, the disc 

 occupied by a broad somewhat irregularly-shaped piceous band, nearly 

 divided at the middle by a flavous transverse stripe, the basal margin also 

 flavous, and connecting the two elytral flavous stripes ; elytral epipleurae, 

 under side, and legs fulvous ; mesosternal process short and straight ; legs 

 with some obscure metallic greenish marks. 



Hah. Peru, Yurimaguas (Bartlett ; my collection). 

 Allied to D. amahilis, Baly, but differing in the finely granulate 

 head and thorax, and in the elytral subsutural flavous stripe. 



DoRYPHORA PICEO-MACULATA, n. Sp. 



Piceous ; the apical joints of the antennae fulvous ; thorax finely and 

 remotely punctured ; elytra olive-green, finely and closely punctate-striate, 

 a sutural band strongly widened anteriorly, the lateral margins, a spot before 

 and three other spots, placed transversely below the middle, piceous. 

 Length, 7 lines. 



Head finely and rather closely punctiu'ed ; labrum fulvous ; antennae 

 only extending to the base of the thorax, piceous, the last four joints fulvous, 

 slightly widened ; thorax three times broader than long, the sides very 

 slightly rounded, the anterior angles thickened but scarcely produced, the 

 surface convex, piceous, finely, irregularly, and remotely punctvu'ed through- 

 out; scutellum piceous ; elytra finely and rather closely punctate-striate, the 

 punctures slightly geminately arranged ; a narrow siitural band, which 

 suddenly widens into a transversely-shaped patch below the scutellum, the 

 lateral margins narrowly, a small spot placed below the base close to the 

 sutural mark, and three similar spots placed transversely below the middle, 

 as well as a spot at the base above the shoulders, piceous ; mesosternal 

 process short and stout. 



Hah. St. Paulo d'Olivenca (M. de Matham). 



Of this species, which is nearly similarly marked to D.javeti, 

 Baly, I received a specimen from Mons. Oberthur. It differs 

 entirely from that species in the punctuation of the thorax and 

 the elytra, and in their olive-green colour. In D. javeti the
