84 Mr. J. S. Baly on some 



Calaspidea Bacchus. 



Subrotundata, postice paullo angustata ^ , magis ovata 



$ , convexa, nigro-asnea, subnitida ; elytris san- 



guineis, distincte punctatis, limbo exterior! (basi 



dilatato) maculisque impressis subseriatis nigro- 



seneis. 



Long. 7^-9^ lin. 



Hah. — Para. 



Antennee black, longer than the thorax, robust, taper- 

 ing at base and apex, third joint distinctly longer than 

 the fourth. Thorax twice as broad as long, sides some- 

 what obliquel}^ rounded and dilated to beyond the middle, 

 thence nearly parallel and slightly rounded to the base; 

 surface subopaque, broadly excavated on either side, 

 excavation impressed with a shining obtusely angled line ; 

 middle of disc nitidous, impressed with a fine longitudinal 

 groove. Elytra much broader than the thorax, shoulders 

 prominent, obtusely rounded ; sides obliquely rounded and 

 dilated nearly to their middle, thence obliquely rounded 

 and narrowed to their apex ; above convex, distinctly punc- 

 tured on the disc, the latter shining ; the dilated margin 

 subopaque, more finely punctured ; sanguineous, the 

 outer limb, dilated on the humeral margin, and numerous 

 depressed spots scattered over the surface, nigro-asneous ; 

 those on the disc small and arranged in nearly regular 

 longitudinal rows ; those on the dilated limb larger and 

 less regularly placed. 



Most nearly allied to G. columbiana ; its antennse are 

 shorter and rather more robust, the sides of the thorax 

 are less oblique ; the nigro-eeneous border of the elytra 

 is much broader, and the patches of the same colour on 

 their dilated limb are much larger than in that species. 



Calaspidea connecfens. 



Subrotundata ^ , sub triangularis ? , convexa, viridi- 

 senea, subnitida, subtus nigra, nitida ; thorace long- 

 itudine duplo latiori, lateribus ad medium minus 

 oblique ampliatis, hinc ad basin fere parallelis, basi 

 ipsa paullo convergentibus, obtuse rotundatis ; elytris 

 subopacis, elevato-reticulatis, reticulis nitidis, areolas 

 minores includentibus, vitta lata sublaterali san- 

 guineo-reticulata, infra basin ad apicem extensa, 

 postice angustata ornatis; antennis thorace paullo 

 longioribus, gracilibus.
