Bebelis picta. 



B. breviuscula, fiisca, griseo-pubescens ; antennis crassiusculis, 

 linearibu3, longitiidine corporis ; prothorace aubcylindrico, vittis 

 indeteriuinatis sex,quatiior nigris, duabun latoralibus albis, ornate ; 

 scutello albo-griseo ; clytrls brevibus, apicibus subtruncutis, lincis 

 obli(juis cun'atis basalibus, maculis lateralibus, aliiscjue apicalibus, 

 albis, nigro-margiiiatis, ornatis ; corpore infra pedibusque brun- 

 neis, sparse grisco-pubcscentibus. Long. 3| lin. 



Hah. Rio Janeiro. 



Considei-ably shorter than B, lignosa^ Thorns., and with 

 stoUter antennae ; the stripes at the base, black, white, grey, 

 with white andbUick again, are ciu'ved, and with their fellows 

 enclose a heart-shaped space in the region of the scutellum ; 

 the latei-al and apical spots have a similar coloration, but much 

 less distinct. 



Behelis acuta. PI. VIII. fig. 6. 



B. elongata, fusca, griseo-pubescens ; antennis setaceis, corpore 

 brovioribus ; ocuUs parvis ; prothorace subcylindrico, macula 

 A-formi, externe albo-marginata, basin versus notato ; scutello 

 albo-griseo ; elytris postice sensim angustioribus, apice extus 

 in spinam dentiformcm productis, et ut in prsecedente fere ornatis, 

 Bed lineis basalibus minus obliquis. Long. 4| lin. 



Hob. Rio Janeiro. 



In the figure the elytra are represented too much rounded 

 at the sides, and they are not sufiiciently 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.
