Coleoptera of the Family Rutelide. 551 
Cuuiorota, Burm. 
1. Chlorota @rea, un. 8. 
Ovata, convexa, subnitida, crebre punctulata, erea ; 
elytrorum marginibus parcius punctatis, apice confertim 
punctato. Long. 9 lin. 
Of a brownish bronze, with more brassy tints in some 
lights. Head thickly punctured, rather coarsely so in 
the middle of the front part ; the clypeus densely punc- 
tured, more rugulose at the margins. Thorax 52% milli- 
metres long, broadest at the base, very slightly narrowed 
to a little in front of the middle, and then obliquely nar- 
rowed to the front, thickly and finely punctured on the 
disk, the punctuation quickly becoming closer towards 
the sides, where it is very dense, rendering the surface 
somewhat dull; the shining incrassated margin is very 
narrow in front, gradually wider posteriorly, the shining 
surface continued a little way along the posterior margin ; 
the base somewhat straight on each side, but broadly 
arcuately lobed in the middle. Scutellum 24 millimetres 
long, 3 millimetres broad, a curvilinear triangle, but with 
the slightest tendency to be cordiform. Elytra broadest 
in the middle, obtuse at the apex, finely and very densely 
punctured, the apex finely rugulose; the margin below 
the shoulder is incrassate and smooth (the margin 
somewhat turned under); on the side there is a very 
obtuse ridge, terminating before the apical callus, the 
surface below this somewhat shining, but finely punc- 
tured ; suture slightly impressed, with no distinct sutural 
stria, but there is a fine line extending from the humeral 
callus tothe apical one. Pygidium vermiculate-rugulose. 
Sternal process not very long, comparatively slender, and 
somewhat acuminate. All the under side of the insect 
(except the middle of the sterna) and the four posterior 
femora rugose (the abdomen more finely so than the rest), 
and beset with yellowish hairs. 
Hab. Ecuador (Buckley).

apice subtiliter ruguloso. Long. 113 lin.
