Phytophagous Coleoptera from Peru. 519 



sides of the metathorax, the inner side of the tibiaa, and the 

 margins of the abdominal segments. The surface of the elytra 

 is also finely punctate in semi-striate rows and the intervals are 

 aciculate; but as I have only a single specimen and have not 

 compared it Avith the type I am scarcely justified in describing it 

 as new. 



DorypJiora fttlvonotata, n. sp.- 



Rotundate, subdepressed ; above opaque, dark bluish-green; 

 elytra punctate, the punctures arranged in geminate rows on the 

 disc, confused externally, with four narrow transverse irregular 

 bands, and a spot lielow the base, fulvous. Length G lines. 



Head minutely punctate, plane, labrum piceous, anterior mar- 

 gin testaceous; antennaj not reaching farther than the base of 

 the thorax, the first five joints shining blackish-green, the rest 

 opaque black; thorax narrow, sides nearly straight at the base, 

 much rounded towards the apex, the anterior angles acute and 

 slightly produced, siu-face more strongly punctured than the 

 head, but the punctures very irregularly distributed, a distinctly 

 raised central line extending from the base nearly to the apex; 

 scutellum impunctate; elytra very much rounded, very deflexed 

 from the middle towards the sides and only slightly convex at 

 the base, deeply geminate punctate-striate near the suture, the 

 rest of the surfa'ce less deeply confusedly punctate, dark bluish- 

 green, without gloss, each elytron with two small spots near 

 the scutellum and four very narrow tranvei'se zigzag bands 

 on the disc (not extending to the suture), fulvous, the last band 

 emitting more or less distinct vittaa to the apex. Underside 

 rather shining. 



This curiously shaped Doryj^hora is remarkable from its 

 general resemblance to some of the Casfitdulcv, for one of which 

 I at first mistook it. 



Stilodes fulvipennis, n. sp. 



Oblong ovate, beneath piceous; thorax black ; elytra reddish- 

 brown, the suture and the extreme lateral margin narrowly 

 aqueous or black. Length 3 lines. 



Head distinctly but not closely punctate, black, antennaj a 

 little longer than the thorax, piceous, the four basal joints 

 fiavoiis, shining. Thorax transverse, sides evenly rounded,
