revision of the Lamjiyridce. 15 



This species is also very nearly allied to the two pre- 

 ceding, but differs in colour, having the base of the elytra 

 red, varying in extent in the two specimens before me ; 

 they are also rather wide in proportion to their length.

Three specimens, which have the antennae longer, but 

 with the joints 3 — 8 more compressed than in the pre- 

 ceding species, not flabellate but triangularly acuminate 

 within, I refer to this. The abdomen has the pygidium 

 long, faintly emarginate at the apex, the ventral apical 

 segment not excised, but trilobate. 



Lucidota, sp. ? 

 Rio Janeiro ; Gorh. 



Antennae only half the length of the body, compressed 

 serrate, joints triangularly acuminate.

Hah.'i—Gorh. 



Two specimens in my collection from Norris. 



Antenme compressed, joints 3 — 8 scarcely serrate, rather 

 longer than wide ; anterior margin of thorax scarcely re- 

 flexed, translucent on the margin on each side of the apex. 

 Elytra ovate, margin expanded, white in the middle, 

 except the narrow reflexed edge. Abdomen with a 

 transverse white luminous mark on the fifth segment, 

 pygidium triangular, truncate.
