350 Mr. G. C. Champion on various 



eyes ; antennae moderately long in $ , shorter in $ . Pro- 

 thorax transverse, rounded at the sides in <$ , narrowed 

 anteriorly in $ . Elytra moderately long, the apices some- 

 what produced. 



£ . Ventral segment 5 broadly arcuato-emarginate, 6 sub- 

 conical. Tegmen with long, somewhat spoon-shaped, lateral 

 lobes, their apices flavo-ciliate. Penis-sheath almost straight, 

 subacuminate at apex. 



Length 6-7, breadth 2§-3£ mm. (<J ? .)' 



Hab. Ecuador, Loja {Rosenberg), Macas {Buckley) ; 

 Peru {ex colls. Murray and Fry : type). 



Fifteen examples, ten of which are from Peru, females 

 preponderating, three out of the four from Loja having two 

 additional reddish spots on the disc of the elytra near the 

 suture. Recognizable by the metallic green or bluish elytra, 

 with sharply-defined orange spots, the two near the suture 

 evanescent, and the two submarginal ones often very small or 

 wanting. ^4. luteoguttatus is allied to the Colombian A. sex- 

 guttatus, Kirsch, differing from the latter in its much smaller 

 size, less robust build, shorter elytra, &c. A. latemaculatus, 

 Pic, from Peru, seems to be the nearest ally amongst those 

 indicated by him in 1902. 



17. Astylus luteicanda, sp. n. 



Moderately elongate, shining, pilose ; nigro-ameous, green- 

 ish or reneous, the antennae wholly or in part, the apices of 

 the elytra, the tibia? (except at the base), and tarsi testaceous 

 or rufo-testaceous ; the head and protliorax rather sparsely, 

 the elytra very coaisely, punctate. Head elongated behind 

 the eyes, and depressed in the middle between them, narrow 

 in ?, broader in $ ; antennae long and rather slender in <J, 

 short in $ . Protliorax transverse, broad and with the sides 

 rounded in $ , rapidly narrowed from near the base in $ . 

 Elytra subparallel, sometimes with an indication of a faint 

 costa on the disc, the apical margin obsoletely crenulate. 



(J. Ventral segment 5 broadly arcuato-emarginate, 6 coni- 

 cal, notched at the tip. Tegmen with long, compressed 

 lateral lobes, which are rounded and flavo-ciliate at the tip. 

 Penis-sheath straight, pointed at the apex. 



Length 5-6, breadth 2§-2f mm. ( $ ? .) 



Hab. ECUADOR, Loja and Zaragura {Rosenberg ex colt. 

 Fry).
