Mas : abdominis segmento anali apice concavo-emar- 

 ginato. 



Fern. : abdominis segmento anali apice late sed le- 

 viter emarginato^ bisinuato. 



Long. 2^ lin. 



Hub. — Rio Janeiro, New Friburg. 



Antennse half the length of the body, slender, basal 

 joint moderately thickened, more than half as long again 

 as the second, three upper joints black. Thorax slightly 

 broader than long, sides straight and parallel, rounded 

 at the extreme apex, anterior angles slightly produced, 

 obtuse; upper surface transversely convex, lateral mar- 

 gin strongly reflexed; surface impressed with deep 

 round punctures. Elytra broader than the thorax, 

 parallel, conjointly rounded at the apex; upper sur- 

 face flattened along the suture, sides obliquely exca- 

 vated below 'the humeral callus, causing it to appear 

 laterally prominent; distinctly punctate-striate, the 

 punctures near the apex less strongly impressed ; inter- 

 spaces near the lateral margin indistinctly convex, the 

 third from the outer border more strongly raised than 

 the rest. 



C apic'icorms is very closely allied to C. cognata, but 

 may be known by the much paler colour and more closely 

 punctured thorax ; from G. nigricornis, Fabr., both 

 species are separated by the diJ0Ferent emargination of 

 the anal segment. 



(Sp. 13a.) Cephaloleia flavipennis. 



Elongata, parallela, nigra, nitida; thorace transverso, 

 fortiter punctate; elytris flavis, thorace latioribus, fere 

 parallelis, apice obtusis, distincte punctate - striatis, 

 punctis piceis. 



Fern. : abdominis segmento anali apice truncate. 



Long. 3 J lin. 



Hab. — Ecuador ; collected by Mr. Buckley. 



Antennae moderately robust, scarcely half the length 

 of the body, basal joint moderately thickened, about a 

 third part longer than the second. Thorax one-fifth 

 broader than long, sides straight and parallel, rounded 

 and converging at the apex ; upper surface transversely 

 convex, deeply but not very closely punctured on the
