Lucidota Kluf/ii, Dej. Cat., — Mots. ? 



Hab. ? — Gorli. A species labelled " Klugi," in La- 

 treille's writing, scarcely agrees with Motscliulsky's descrip- 

 tion, as the el}i:ra have a wide pale yellow band, widest 

 on the margins and suture. 



Lucidota. lunata, Mots. II. 1853, p. 41. 

 Brazil [" Constancia," " Tejuca "] ; Gorh. 

 Antennas sharply serrate, pygidium sinuate at apex. 

 The largest species I have seen, 10 — 12 lines. 



Lucidota Banoni, Cast. Ess. p. 137? 

 Hah. ?— Gorh. 



A specimen in my collection, labelled ^' melliciila,^'' from 

 Norris, seems to be this. The name is from Dej. Cat. 



Lucidota thoracica, Cast. Essai, p. 137. 

 „ penuata, Dej. 

 The antennae are as long as the body, their flabellte 

 more distant from each other at the base than usual, of 

 the length of two joints or nearly, giving a more plume-like 

 appearance than in any other species I know. 

 Columbia, Brus. M. i/aZ*. ?— Gorh. (Norris). 



Lucidota jjroxima, n. sp. 



Nigro-frisca, thorace rufo, vitta mediana nigra, coxis et 

 femoribus anticis rufo-piceis, abdomine apice flavo. 



Long. lin. 6. 



Like thoracica, but distinct, the antenna are shorter, 

 a little more than half the body's length, compressed 

 joints 3 — 8 internally acuminate, but only sharply so 

 from joint 6. The underside is not yellow as in thoracica. 

 Cast., under Avhich name the specimen described was sent 

 me by M. Chevrolat. 



Cayenne, Gorh. (Chcv.) 



Lucidota nigripennis, Sober, Gay Hist. Chili, iv. p. 449.
