backwards into a flattened acute tooth ; apex obtusely rounded, 
apical margin slightly dilated, its outer edge serrate ; above 
flattened along the suture; each elytron with four raised costa, 
the third obsolete in the middle, suture also elevated, interstices 
each with a double row of deep, large, regular punctures. Be- 
neath bright fulvous; pleurs, limb of abdomen, and the legs 
black ; on the under surface of all the thighs, near their base, is 
a fulvous spot. 
Collection of Mr. Bates; also in my own cabinet. 
Uroplata pectoralis, n. sp. 
U. late oblonga, postice ampliata, subdepressa, obscure flava, sub- 
nitida ; antennis obscure fulvo-piceis ; pectore, tibiarum apice tar- 
sisque nigro-piceis: elytris obsolete fusco maculatis, humeris mo- 
dice lateraliter productis apice subacutis, apice obtuse rotundatis, 
fortiter serratis, angulo postico in laminam compressam bispino- 
sam modice lateraliter productis; utroque prope suturam bicos- 
tato, interspatiis rude et profunde biseriatim punctatis; disco 
exteriore profunde confuse punctato, interstitiis elevato-reticulatis. 
Long. 3 lin. 
Hab. Brazil. 
Head moderately produced between the eyes, vertex smooth, 
impressed with a deep longitudinal groove; antennz equal in 
length to the head and thorax, subincrassate, two basal joints 
slightly thickened, third slightly elongate, fourth and fifth gra- 
dually decreasing in length, the sixth scarcely half the length of 
the fifth, the seventh nearly equal to the third, somewhat thick- 
ened, and, together with the four following joints (which are 
closely united, but have their sutural lines distinctly visible 
under a lens), forming a narrow club; apical joimts acute. 
Thorax nearly twice as broad at the base as long, sides narrowly 
margined, crenulate, nearly straight at the base, narrowed and 
rounded in front; upper surface transversely impressed on the 
hinder disk, transversely excavated on the basal lobe, the latter 
broadly truncate, stained on either side with a piceous spot; 
middle of disk in front nearly impunctate, finely strigose, sides 
coarsely and deeply rugose-punctate. Scutellum large, trian- 
gular, broad at the base, its apex truncate. Elytra much broader 
at their base than the thorax; humeral callus thickened, not 
raised above the surface of the elytra, but produced horizontally, 
its apex subacute, not extending beyond the lateral border. Apex 
of tibize thickened. 
Uroplata Stale, n. sp. 
U. subelongata, subcuneiformis, subdepressa, rufo-fulva; capite su- 
pra (plaga verticali excepta) thoracisque margine laterali nigris : 
elytris apice obtusis, angulo postico vix prominulo, apice rotundato;
