62 Mr. F. P. Pascoe's Descriptions of New Genera 



gularly beneath at the sides ; elytra acuminate, rather depressed, 

 coarsely punctured in rows, with a pitchy oblong oval spot at 

 the outer margin near the apex. 

 Length 4 lines. 



Colobothea longimana. 



C. obscure-cervina, fulvo-nigroque varia ; antennis pedibusque 

 fuscis, pro-femoribus pro-tibiisque longissimis, his intus spi- 

 nulosis. 



Brasilia (Espiritu Santo). 



Dull cervine, with an obscure mingling of fulvous and black 

 spots and patches ; on the prothorax the fulvous very slight, four 

 black spots on its disc and three or four more on each side ; on 

 the elytra the black assumes somewhat the form of three irregular 

 and interrupted bands, more or less bordered with fulvous ; be- 

 neath with a greyish pubescence ; legs and antennae dark brown, 

 the latter with its joints slightly annulated with cinereous ; pro- 

 femora and pro-tibise very long, the latter with eight or nine small 

 spines beneath ; humeral angle produced. 



Length 6| lines. 



This is a remarkable species, and might be, perhaps, considered 

 the type of a new genus. 



Colobothea Friji. 

 C. atra ; capite supra, prothorace, elytrisque vittis duabus albis 



communibus apicem versus ad fasciam connexis ; antennarum 



articulo sexto annulate. 

 Para. 



Rather narrow, black ; a white line in front, which on the top of 

 the head divides into two, and, passing over the thorax and elytra, 

 unite by tvio or three slight branches with each other and with a 

 fascia near the apex, which has a fringe of the same colour ; under 

 surface with a greyish pubescence, and having a broad white stripe 

 extending from below the eye to the fourth abdominal segment, 

 the seventh being entirely black ; two first joints of the middle 

 and posterior tarsi cinereous ; basal half or more of the sixth an- 

 tennal joint white. 



Length 8| lines. 



This well-marked and handsome insect is dedicated to Alex- 

 ander Fry, Esq., F.L.S., &c., who has made an unusually fine 

 collection of Brazilian insects of all orders, at Rio. To him I owe 

 my earliest specimens, which, having contributed to relieve the 

 monotony of a long voyage, gave me a first taste for Entomology.
