under side and femora flavous, the tibie and tarsi dark fulvous 
claws bifid. 
Hab. Upper Amazons. 
Blepharida Holubi, n. sp. 
Elongate, parallel, chestnut-brown, the antenne and tarsi paler ; 
thorax strongly transverse, finely and sparingly punctured with 
four deep perpendicular grooves; elytra deeply and regularly 
punctate-striate, the interstices convex, piceous, each interstice 
with numerous closely placed flavous spots. Length, 2} lines. 
Head not perceptibly punctured, with a deep sinuate groove at 
some distance from the eyes, the inter-ocular space deeply punc- 
tured, labrum and palpi flavous, the latter slender; antenne not 
extending to the middle of the elytra, flavous, all the joints rather 
short, the terminal ones slightly thickened; thorax more than 
twice as broad as long, the sides slightly and evenly rounded, the 
anterior angles subtuberculiform, the surface sparingly and finely 
punctured at the middle of the disc, the latter with a slight longi- 
tudinal groove, the sides with two short but deep longitudinal 
grooves placed opposite at the anterior and posterior margins 
respectively ; scutellum fulvous, broader than long; elytra not 
broader at the base than the thorax, rather convex, without any 
basal depression, regularly and deeply punctate-striate, the inter- 
stices convex, piceous, the flavous spots very numerous and 
irregular, mostly of elongate shape, those near the base of larger 
size and more irregular shape; the posterior tibix deeply emargi- 
nate at the apex. 
Hab. South Africa (Holub). 
Although B. Holubi resembles in its general pattern 
most of its allies, the piceous colour of the elytra and 
the very numerous small flavous spots, together with the 
other details pointed out above, will distinguish it. | 
received a single specimen from the late Dr. Dohrn, 
which was obtained by Herr Holub, the well-known 
traveller in South Africa. 
Blepharida Duvivieri, n. sp.

the base, with four deep longitudinal grooves; elytra very deeply 
punctate-striate, the interstices convex, covered with numerous 
small flavous spots. Length, 5 lines. 
Of rather parallel shape, dark fulvous. The head nearly im- 
punctate, flat; the anteane not extending to the middle of the
