two transverse bent tawny gray lines near the apex of 

 each elytron, the sutural and apical margins being also 

 tawny gray. 



Golohothea Ugnicolor and Ugneola, and Eutrypanus as- 

 sula (Bates, Ann. & Mag. N. H. March, 1860) belong to 

 this genus. 



8ynchyzopusgeometnciis,n. sp. — Species elegantissima. 

 Modice elongatus, convexus, postice perparum angustatus, 

 supra fusco-nigra velutinus, thorace margine toto, elytris 

 lineis transversis quatuor, et corpore subtus, sulphureis ; 

 capite ut in C. cinctipenne angusto, sulphureo, vittis 

 duabus epistomatem hand attingentibus, sed usque ad 

 occipitem, extensis, nigris ; antennia elongatis, setaceis, 

 setis brevissimis et sparsis vestitis, nigris, basi griseo- 

 sulphureo lineatis ; thorace quam in C. cinctipenne, multo 

 latiori, lateribus medio rotundato-tumidis, supra regula- 

 riter convexis, laevibus ; elytris thorace basi duplo latiori- 

 bus, apice late truncatis, angulis extei'ioribus spinosis, 

 supra dorso basin versus planis, haud costatis, breviter 

 setosis ; pedibus nigris, sulphureo-griseo tomentosis ; tarsis 

 articulis 1-2 sulphureo-griseis. 



(J . Segmentum abdominale ultiraum apice truncatum. 



? . Ovipositor valde elongatus, tubularis; segmentum 

 dorsale lanceolatum, ventrale truncatum. 



The transverse yellow lines or fasciae of the elytra are 

 thus placed: — The first runs from below the shoulder, 

 rather obliquely, to near the suture, thence mounting to 

 the scutellum; the second, about the _ middle of the 

 elytron, runs more obliquely backwards, and passes along 

 the suture itself to the curved subapical or fourth fascia ; 

 the third, between the second and fourth, does not reach 

 the suture ; the first, second and third are united by a 

 marginal yellow line. Underneath, the metasternal 

 episterna, and the sides of the second and third abdomi- 

 nal segments are blackish. 



Many examples.

(1864) ; {Golohothea dioptica, Bates, Ann. Mag. N. H. 



Mar. 1864) . — Several examples of this remarkably short 



and thick Colobotheine form were sent by Mr. Belt. It 



^occurs also at Cayenne and on the Amazons.
