Bebelis picta. 
B. breviuscula, fusca, griseo-pubescens; antennis crassiusculis, 
linearibus, longitudine corporis; prothorace subcylindrico, vittis 
indeterminatis sex, quatuor nigris, duabus lateralibus albis, ornato ; 
scutello albo-griseo ; elytris brevibus, apicibus subtruncatis, lineis 
obliquis curvatis basalibus, maculis lateralibus, aliisque apicalibus, 
albis, nigro-marginatis, ornatis ; corpore infra pedibusque brun- 
heis, sparse griseo-pubescentibus. Long. 3 lin. 
Hab. Rio Janeiro. 
Considerably shorter than B. lignosa, Thoms., and with 
stouter antenne ; the stripes at the base, black, white, grey, 
with white and black again, are curved, and with their fellows 
enclose a heart-shaped space in the region of the scutellum ; 
the lateral and apical spots have a similar coloration, but much 
less distinct. 
Bebelis acuta. Pl. VIII. fig. 6. 
B. elongata, fusca, griseo-pubescens; antennis setaceis, corpore 
brevioribus; oculis parvis; prothorace subcylindrico, macula 
A-formi, externe albo-marginata, basin versus notato; scutello 
albo-griseo; elytris postice sensim angustioribus, apice extus 
in spinam dentiformem productis, et ut in precedente fere ornatis, 
sed lineis basalibus minus obliquis. Long. 43 lin. 
Hab. Rio Janeiro. 
In the figure the elytra are represented too much rounded 
at the sides, and they are not sufficiently elongate. In this 
genus the eyes are coarsely granulate; and in the former as 
well as in the typical species they fairly answer M. Thomson’s 
designation “submagni ;” but in this species they are decidedly 
small, and the connexion of the upper lobe to the lower is in- 
dicated only by a very long narrow line. I owe all my spe- 
cimens to Mr. Fry.
