Photuris telephorina, Perty Del. An. Art. p. 27, 

 PI. VI., fig. 3. 



A well-known, rather variable species. I have a variety 

 (dwiidinta) in which the apex of the elytra only is black ; a 

 spot on the 5th and 6th segments, or the whole of those 

 plates are luminous. 



Brazil ; all collections. 



Sec. II. — Claws split in the (^, simple in the female.

Nigerrlma, sub-nitida, thorace lunari, ore, antennis 

 articulis duobus basalibus liete rufis, pedibus nigropiceis 

 femoribus anterioribus et intermediis brunneis.

Photuris ruficollis, n. sp. 



Nigra, thorace lunari, scutello, coxis et trochanteribus 

 anticis rufis. 



Long. lin. 5|. 5 . 



Very nearly allied to collaris ; the scutellum is red, the 

 thorax more rounded at the sides, and more opaque than 

 in that species. 



In the specimen in my collection, a spot common to the 

 fifth and sixth segments is luminous.

 angulis posticis acutis retrorsum productis.
