fulvous. Tliorax nearly three times as broad as long ; sides 

 nearly straight and slightly converging from the base to 

 beyond the middle, rounded in front, the anterior angles 

 mucronate ; upper surface slightly excavated on either side, 

 minutely but not closely punctured, the interspaces finely 

 granulose. Scutellum nitidous, obscure fulvous, narrowly 

 edged with piceous. Elytra broader than the thorax, very 

 minutely punctured, the punctures irregularly arranged in 

 double longitudinal rows; interspaces finely granulose, ob- 

 scure fulvous, the basal margin, together with the anterior 

 halves of the lateral and sutural limbs, narrowly edged with 

 piceous. 



Dorj/phora Waterhousei. 



D. oblongo-ovata, convexa, laete cuprea, nitida, subtus obscure viridi- 

 cuprea aut senea, pedibus antennisque viridi-metallicis, his extror- 

 8um nigris ; thorace parce tenuiter punctato, lateribus latis, levi- 

 ter incrassatis ; elytris tenuiter punctato-striatis, striis geminatis, 

 ad latus magis conlusis.

Hob. Amazons, Santarem.

 elytra ; sides rounded, converging in front, the anterior angles 

 acute, submucronate ; disk finely but sparingly punctured, 

 lateral margin broad, distinctly thickened, bounded within by 

 a longitudinal sulcation. Scutellum trigonate. Elytra finely

 regularly placed in the stria on the outer disk. 



DorypJiora CJiapuisi. 



D. late ovata, convexa, caeruleo-metallica, subtua nitida, supra sub- 

 opaca, thorace fere duplo latiore qaum longiore, lateribus parallelis, 

 ad apicem rotundato-angustatis, angulis anticis mucronatis ; disco 

 fere impuuctato ; elytris thorace latioribus, tenuissime punctato- 

 striatis, interspatiis punctis minutis sparse impressis ; mesostethio 

 acuto, metasterno vix longiore.
