386 Mr. H. W. Bates on New Species of Agra 
Agra dominula, (Pl, XX. fig. 5, 9+) 
A. nigro-picea, nitida; antennis pedibusque piceo-rufis, geniculis 
obscurioribus ; capite oblongo-ovato, pone oculos oblongo, 
imprimis sensim, deinde collum versus citius attenuato ; 
thorace capite vix longiori, medio vix dilatato, apicem versus 
leniter attenuato, episternis convexis, impunctatis, dorso trans- 
versim strigoso, irregulariter punctato, punctis haud profundis ; 
elytris apice oblique flexuoso-truncatis, angulis externis 
breviter productis, acutis; dorso profunde punctato-striatis, 
punctis raro confluentibus, interstitiis angustis, levibus ; 
pedibus validis, tibiis apices versus compresso-dilatatis, tarsis 
articulo primo dilatato, unguiculari lato. 
Long. 11 lin. 
Allied to 4. erythropus (Dejean), but much larger and propor- 
tionally more elongated and the elytra far more deeply and strongly 
punctate-striate. The lateral lobes of the mentum are elongate 
and subacute, and the species therefore belongs to the same small 
section as 4. erythropus and A. latipes. The four terminal joints 
of the antenne are shorter and more slender than the preceding, 
the eighth being very short and oval, almost globular in shape. 
There is no trace of metallic glimmer on the body, but the whole 
surface is of a fine lustrous dark pitchy-black, the antennze 
dark reddish and the legs rather lighter and clearer pitchy-red, 
with the knees dusky. The tibicze are compressed, but are not per- 
ceptibly dilated until towards the apex, and the basal joint of each 
tarsus (¢) is much broader than the others, with its sides rounded. 
This grand species, of which a single example is in Mr. Saun- 
ders’ Collection, is from Peru. 
Agra Saundersii. (Pl. XX. fig. 4, $.) 
A. magna, nigra, nitida, femoribus (apicibus exceptis) flavis; 
capite elongato-quadrato ; thorace angusto, antice attenuato, 
constricto, dorso grosse lineatim punctato, episternis vix con- 
vexis, parce punctatis ; elytris postice ampliatis, oblique trun- 
eatis, angulo suturali valde producto, externo mucronato, 
dorso profunde lineatim foveolatis, foveolis discretis, fundo 
metallicis, interstitiis reticulatis. 
Long. 12 lin. 3 
Closely allied to 4. geniculata (Klug) and having a great resem- 
blance to it in shape and colour, but it is nearly twice the length 
and bulky in proportion. The head is very much prolonged 
behind the eyes and but very slightly narrowed (in straight lines) to
