Fam. CHRYSOMELIDE. 
Genus Doryrnora, Lllig. 
Doryphora Salvinir. 
Ovata, valde convexa, sordide fulva, nitida; elytris sat fortiter 
gemellato-punctato-striatis, flavis, vitta suturali vix ante 
apicem maculam parvam coeunte, limboque laterali angusto 
postice fere evanescente, rufo-fuscis ; utrisque maculis irregu- 
laribus novem, 1-3-3-2 positis, castaneis, instructis. 
Long. 6 lin. 
Hab. Panama. 
Head broad, finely punctured, upper portion of face irregularly 
but at the same time lightly excavated. Antenne slightly 
thickened towards their apex, terminal joints longer than broad. 
Thorax more than twice as broad as long, sides nearly straight 
and parallel, rounded and narrowed in front; apex deeply ex- 
cavated, the anterior angles subacute; above strongly punc- 
tured, the punctures being irregularly scattered over the surface. 
Elytra broader than the thorax, subparallel along the sides, their 
apex regularly rounded ; surface strongly punctured, the punctures 
being arranged in irregular gemellate striae: the chestnut patches 
on the disc of each elytron are arranged as follows, viz., one in the 
middle of the base, three transversely before the middle, three 
immediately behind the latter, and two others also placed trans- 
versely just before the apex. Mesosternal spine more than half 
the length of the metasternum. 
This new and beautiful species ought to be placed close to 
Doryphora nigroguttata, Stal. 
Genus Creratcegs, Gerst. 
Ceralces ferrugineus, Gerst. 
Some years ago I described in the Transactions of this Society 
(N.S. iv. 88) a species of Ceralces from Old Calabar, under the 
name of Pseudomela Murrayi; subsequently, on reading Ger- 
stacker’s description, and seeing also the figure of his insect in 
Peters’ Reise nach Mossambique, I concluded that the two species 
were identical, and that, from his name having the priority, mine 
must sink into a synonym. 
The arrival, however, of a specimen of C. ferrugineus in the 
Zambesi Collection which is now before me, enables me to show 
that the two insects, although closely allied, are really distinct, and 
present clear points of difference.
