192 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



thorax is less transverse, more strongly punctured, and the 

 elytral punctuation is finer and more remote. 



DORYPHORA SEMIFULVA, n. Sp. 



Metallic greenish or bluish ; the head with a fulvous spot ; thorax very 

 finely punctured ; elytra fulvous, very finely and rather irregularly punctured, 

 the interstices here and there finely aciculate. Length, 5—6 lines. 



Head very finely and sparingly punctured, metallic green or blue, the 

 vertex with a subtriangular fiilvous spot, labrum piceous ; antennse extending 

 to the base of the elytra, dark purplish, the terminal joints opaque, widened ; 

 thorax three times broader than long, metallic green or blackish, the sides 

 •straight at the base, rounded at the apex, the anterior angles mucronate, the 

 disc very finely punctured, the punctures irregularly placed, slightly larger 

 and more remote at the sides than at the disc ; scutellum metallic green ; 

 elytra fulvous, with some very obscure darker patches or spots, finely, 

 irregularly but rather closely punctured, the interstices here and there finely 

 aciculate ; mesosternal process strong but blunt, moderately long ; claw-joiiit 

 not toothed. 



Hab. Bolivia (my collection). 



Of the same coloration as Cryptostetha procera, Stal (rufi- 

 pennis, Baly) ; but a true Doryphora, on account of the strongly 

 produced mesosternum. 



Stilodes bogotaensis, n. sp. 



Fulvous ; lower joints of the antennfe black, the apical ones flavous ; 

 thorax with four black spots at base and apex ; elytra bright flavous, a 

 sutural band and two triangular patches before and below the middle, as well 

 as the lateral margin, bluish black. Length, 3i lines. 



Head impunctate, reddish fulvous ; lower six joints of the antennae black 

 above, the basal two flavous below, the terminal five joints pale flavous, 

 widened ; thorax nearly three times broader than long, the sides nearly 

 straight, the anterior margin deeply concave, the surface reddish fiilvous, 

 remotely but distinctly punctured, two spots at the middle of the anterior 

 margin and two larger ones at the base, all of transverse shape, black; 

 scutellum black, elongate ; elytra finely punctate-striate, the punctures 

 extremely closely placed, the rows near the suture of irregular direction, the 

 ground colour bright golden yellow, the suture with a broarl dark blue band, 

 narrowed at each end, the disc with a triangular blue patch from the base to 

 the middle, and a somewhat smaller one near the apex, none of the patches 

 extending to either margin (the posterior patch on one elytron is joined at 

 one place to the sutural band below the middle), the lateral margin also 

 blackish blue, this colour of wider shape from the middle to the apex; under 

 side and legs fulvous ; sides of the breast piceous ; prosternum slightly 

 raised ; mesosternum strongly punctured. 



Hab. Bogota. 



This handsome species, of which I possess a single specimen, 

 agrees almost entirely with S. steinheili, Jac, in the pattern and 

 colour of the elytra, but differs in that of the antennae, under 

 side, and legs, and the spotted thorax. 



Deuterocampta transverso-fasciata, n. sp. 

 Dark fulvous; labrum testaceous; thorax very remotely punctured; 

 elytra regularly punctate-striate, flavous, a broad transverse band before, 

 another below the middle and the sutural and lateral margins, narrowly dark 

 brown. Length, 4 lines,
