146 Mr. M. Jacoby’s descriptions of some new 
In shape this species agrees with the preceding, but 
differs in the piceous head, thorax, under side, and legs; 
also in having the first five joints of the antenne fulvous 
instead of four. The thorax is of the same shape and 
punctuation as in C. opaca, but the elytra are more dis- 
tinctly punctured, flavous, and without scratches. 
Hab. Province of St. Paulo, Brazil. 
A single specimen. 
Crimissa nigro-ornata, Jac. 
I am inclined to believe, judging from the description 
and figure given by the late Th. Kirsch of his Proseicela 
tarsalis (Berliner Ent. Zeitsch., 1883), that this species 
is wrongly placed in the Chrysomelide proper, and is 
identical with the above-named insect described by me 
in the P.Z.8., 1879. ‘The figure lately published in 
Dresden (Coleoptera obtained by Dr. Stubel in South 
America) agrees almost entirely with the banded variety 
I have mentioned in my paper; moreover, the thorax 
and other particulars agree entirely with Crimissa, al- 
though I cannot be sure on this point until I have seen 
the type. I may add, however, that Kirsch particularly 
mentions the basal joint of the antenne, which is charac- 
teristic of Crimissa, but not of the genus Proseicela. 
Notozona Balyi, n. sp. 
Flavous, the intermediate joints of the antennz fuscous; thorax 
very minutely and sparingly punctured ; elytra strongly punctate- 
striate, dark chestnut-coloured, a short longitudinal stripe at the 
base, two narrow transverse bands before and below the middle, 
and the apex, flavous. Length, 3—38> lines. 
Head with a few fine punctures, flavous; antenne extending to 
more than two-thirds the length of the elytra, flavous, the inter- 
mediate joints more or less fuscous ; thorax more than twice as 
broad as long, the sides narrowed in front, the anterior angles 
slightly thickened and oblique, the surface with a few fine punc- 
tures, flavous, the disc with a slight transverse depression near the 
middle of the posterior margin ; scutellum flavous; elytra convex, 
regularly and strongly punctate-striate, chestnut-brown, with a 
short stripe within the humeral callus, a narrow transverse band 
before and another below the middle, as well as the apex, flavous;
