926 CATALOGUE OF 
Nearest to C. biplagiata, from which the four luteous spots at the base 
of the scutellum sufficiently distinguish it.

CorrosOMA APICIFERA. 
Nigra; caput luteo biguttatum ; antenne flave; thorax fascia antica 
lutea interrupta utrimgue dilatata; scutellum strigis duabus trans- 
versis basalibus, plagis duabus exterioribus strigulis tribus sub- 
apicalibus marginegue postico rufescentibus ; ventris latera lutea ; 
pedes flavi. 
Black, shining, almost smooth, rather longer than broad. Head with 
a Juteous dot on each side near the fore border. Eyes reddish. Rostrum 
tawny. Antenne and legs yellow. Thorax with a luteous band which 
extends along each side in front and along the fore border, and is attenuated 
and interrupted in the middle. Scutellum with the usual transverse 
suture; a transverse reddish streak on each side between the suture and 
the base; an exterior large reddish patch on each side near the fore border ; 
three little longitudinal reddish streaks near the hind border, which is 
narrowly bordered with reddish. Abdomen luteous beneath along each 
side. Length of the body 12 line. 
Tt has most affinity to C. marginata and to C. 12-punctata, and differs 
much from both in the markings of the thorax and of the scutellum.

CoprosoMA ERYTHROSPILA. 
Nigra; caput luteo biguttatum; antenne flave; thorax fascia antica 
pallide lutea interrupta utrimque dilatata; scutellum fascia basali 
abbreviata postice incisa plagisque duabus exterioribus obliquis luteis ; 
ventris latera luta ; pedes flari. 
Black, shining, very finely punctured, rather longer than broad. Head 
with a luteous dot on each side near the fore border. Eyes reddish. 
Rostrum tawny. Antenne and legs yellow. Thorax with a pale luteous 
band which extends along each side in front and along the fore border, and 
is attenuated and interrupted in the middle. Scutellum with the transverse 
suture including between it and the base an abbreviated Juteous band 
which is deeply notched on the hind side; a luteous oblique patch near the 
fore border. Abdomen beneath luteeus along each side. Length of the 
body 13 line. 
It is probably a meve variety of C. apicifera, but may be distinguished 
from the latter by a different name. ‘The band on its scutellum is 
represented in C. apicifera by two streaks, the patch on each side is much 
larger, and the apical part is wholly black. It may be distinguished from 
C. hemorrhoa by the entire band on the base of the scutellum and by the 
differently formed patch on each side of the latter,
