Mr. White suggested that this species might form a 

 new subgenus near Holacanthus {Nysstcvs, Pasc, Lacord.) ; 

 it is, however, a true Eburodacrys, and, perhaps, the 

 most typical of the genus.

 sparsis passim hirsuta; thorace grosse transversim punc- 

 tato-rugoso, spina laterali acuta nigra, antice cum tuber-

 tuberculis nigris duobus, interdum in linea nigra postice 

 continuatis ; elytris dense punctatis, postice sublaevibus, 

 macula elongato-ovata eburnea basali, alteris duabus pone 

 medium magis elongatis, exteriori paulo longiori, antice 

 conjunctis postice divergentibus, apice transverse truu-

Allied to E. puella, Newman, but apparently distinct. 

 In two of iny specimens (from Cayenne) there are two 

 indistinct black lines on the thorax, posterior to the black 

 dorsal tubercles, but in the third (from Ega) these are 

 absent. The two median ivory spots of the elytra com- 

 mence exactly together at their anterior extremity; 

 they have there a triangular black spot common to both ;
