On Phytoi'hagolt.s CoLEorTKRA cullerted Inj Mr. TliaiiDii at 

 Chanchaiiwyo, Peru ; by ]\Iai;tin Jacobv. 



Mr. Thamm, -who recently visited Loudon, collected during 

 a great number o£ years in Peru ; the Phytopliaga in his collec- 

 tion are mostly those Avhich have been already described by 

 Erichson, in his Fauna Peruana, the new species are, with a 

 few exceptions, described in this paper, and I have added a few 

 species which I had previously obtained from Peru. 



CKIOCERID^. 



Lema peruana, n. sp. 



Elongate, parallel, black ; thorax, margin of the elytra and 

 apex of abdomen flavous. Length 'd^ lines. 



Head black, impimctate, shining, not constricted behind the 

 eyes, the lateral grooves very deep ; antennie, second joint short, 

 third twice the length, the rest elongate, black, pubescent, the 

 tirst joint swollen, entirely rufous. Thorax quadrate, deeply 

 constricted in the middle, surface smooth, with an obsolete 

 transverse depression, impunctate, shining, flavous. Elytra much 

 Iiroader than the thorax, convex, punctate-striate, the pimctures 

 almost disappearing towards the apex, with a short obsolete 

 transverse depress-ion beloAv the scutellum, Avhere the punctuation 

 is more deeply impressed ; the suture towards the apex and the 

 lateral margins through their entire length distinctly raised anil 

 thickened ; surface metallic aeneous, the margins and apex, the 

 latter more broadly, flavous. Underside and legs black, sides of 

 the abdominal segments and the last two entirely flavous or 

 ferruginous. 



Differs from Lema Jlavo-marginatu, Clark, by the colour of 

 the head, of the underside and legs. 



EUMOLPIDyE. 



Clialcoplacis rujivcntris, Erich, 



The specimen 'before me differs from Erichson's description 

 in having only the sides of the abdominal segments red, and in
