A paratypic pair have been examined in addition to the types, 

 the data on both being to the effect that they were collected "on 

 cotton." They agree fully with the types in structure, differing only 

 in the general shade of color. 



Genus EL^^OCHLORA StSl. 



ELiEOCHLORA TRILINEATA (Serville). 



1831. Xiphicera trilineata Serville, Ann. Sci. Nat., XXII, p. 272. [Brazil.] 



Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. December. (H. H. Smith.) One male. 



The general color of this specimen is very deep green, the median 

 stripe on the head and pronotum also being more ochraceous than 

 the buffy margins of the tegmina. 



ELiEOCHLORA HUMILIS, new species. 



Type. — Male. Chapada, Matto Grosso, Brazil. (H. H. Smith.) 

 Cat. No. 12085, U.S.N.M. 



Allied to Elseochlora viridicata (Serville), but differing in the 

 weaker and lower median carina of the pronotum, the more promi- 

 nent eyes and the narrower tegmina. 



Size rather large; form moderately slender; surface of the body 

 as usual in this genus. Head with its exposed dorsal length less 

 than half the length of the dorsum of the pronotum; occiput very 

 slightly arcuate; fastigium subhorizontal, a shallow medio-longitu- 

 dinal depression present cephalad, form of fastigium acute-angulate,
