Uroplata puella, n. sp. 



U. elongata, subdepressa, obscure fulva ; thoracis vittis tribus ely- 

 trorumque vittulis -viridi-seneis : clytris serratis, utroque tricos- 

 tato, angulo postico in laminam obtusam viridi-seneam modice 

 lateraliter productis, apice obtuse truacatis ; pedibus flavis ; scu- 

 tello nigro. 



Long. 2 liu. 



Hab. Brazil. 



Head slightly produced in an obtuse angle between the eyes, 

 vertex subopake, indistinctly grooved longitudinally; antennae 

 very robust, subiucrassate, their basal joints short, nearly equal, 

 the first being scarcely more swollen than the others ; the three 

 following from the third gradually decreasing in length, trans- 

 verse; seventh nearly equal to the two preceding united, swollen, 

 and forming with the four terminal joints a distinct club, the 

 sutural lines between the last four obsolete. Thorax as broad 

 at the base as long, sides narrowed from just above the extreme 

 base to the apex, armed at their middle with two or more short 

 teeth, anterior angles arnjcd with an obtuse tooth ; above sub- 

 cylindrical, depressed and transversely excavated on the hinder 

 disk, coarsely variolosc-punctatc ; basal lobe oblique, transversely 

 impressed. Scutellum quadrate. Elytra broader than the tho- 

 rax, parallel in front, slightly dilated towards the hinder angle, 

 surface of the latter irregularly thickened, sides and apical bor- 

 ders narrowly dilated, serrate ; interspaces between the costse 

 deeply bigenuHatc-punctate. 



This pretty little insect is not uncommon in collections. 



Uroplata submarginalis, n. sp. 



U. late cunciformis, depressa, tlavo-fulva, subnitida; elytris rufo 

 tinctis ; antennis rufo-fuscis, extrorsum pallidioribus ; femoribus 

 intermediis dimidio apicaii nigro-purpureis : elytris apice oblique 

 truncatis, tenuiter serrntis, angulo postico in laminam compressam, 

 trigonani, apice acutam, postice distincte serratam, lateraliter sat 

 prominulam productis ; utroque tricostato, interspatiis fortiter 

 bifariam jiunctatis, intcrspatio tertio apicem versus confuse tri- 

 fariam punctate ; marginibus basali et apicaii, angulo postico vit- 

 taque curvata subniarginali ab humero ad angulum posticum ex- 

 teusa purpurois aut rufo-purpureis. 

 Long. 2| lin. 



Hab. Ega, Upper Amazons. 



Head very slightly produced between the eyes, vertex smooth; 

 antennae nearly one-third of the length of the body, moderately 

 robust, subiucrassate, joints cylindrical, two basal nearly equal, 

 slightly thickened, third elongate, fourth nearly one-half shorter 

 than the third ; fifth and sixth still shorter, each decreasmg in
