Genus Ora. 
(Dej. in litt., haud in Dej. Cat.) 
Ovalis, fortiter depressa et a latere visa tenuissima. Caput subporrectum 
vix productum, transversum. Thorax transversus latere antico emar- 
ginato, sed apud medium ampliato, i.e., fortiter transverse sinuato, 
lateribus obliquatis, plus minus marginatis, basi sinuato et marginato 
ad medium versus scutellum ampliato; thorax levis punctatus. Scu- 
tellum late triangulare punctatum. Elytra depressa, post medium 
latiora, apud apicem paulum producta, fortiter et confuse punctata. 
Antenne filiformes, art. 2° et 3° brevibus et subeequalibus. Pedes femora 
postica brevia et valde robusta; tibiis inermibus. 
I have two species, one from Rio, the other from Mexico, which 
constitute this genus; the form is peculiarly flattened, and the 
insects are specially fragile; its ovate depressed form, thorax 
medially rounded, both in the direction of the head and also of the 
scutellum, robust and short posterior femora, and the short third 
joint of the elytra abundantly separate it from all other groups.

I dedicate this species to my friend John Gray, Esq., as one of the 
many fruits of our rambles together in South America. Taken by 
Mr. Gray at Constancia, Rio Janeiro, Jan. 1857.
