Macronota ochraceipes, n. sp. 



Nigra, supra surda, subtus nitida ; capite vittis duabus, thorace 

 vittis quatuor et punctis duobus basalibus ochraceis ; elytris 

 rubris, sutura, plaga communi quadrata mediana (medio gutta 

 ochracea notata), vitta obliqua humerali (plaga mediana attin- 

 gente) maculaqiie apicali nigris ; abdominis lateribus ocbraceo- 

 maculatis, pygidio maculis tribus ochraceis ornato ; clypeo, tibiis 

 tarsisque rufo-ochraceis. 



Long. 10 lin. 



Very near to M. quadrivittata^ but larger and with some- 

 what different arrangement of colom*. The front of the 

 clypeus is reddish yellow and shining, less closely punctured. 

 The thorax is rather broader, impressed at the posterior part. 

 The four stripes are placed nearly as in M. quadrivittata, but 

 they do not reach the base of the thorax, and at the base 

 there are two short oblique spots not quite united to the two 

 median stripes. The scutellum has a very narrow yellow 

 border. The oblique black stripe extending from the shoulder 

 to the square patch on the suture unites with the patch in one 

 of the examples. There is a very small yellow spot on the 

 humeral stripe in one specimen. The spots on the pygidium 

 are large, the middle one elongate. Antennse reddish yellow, 

 with a black spot on the basal joint. The femora are black, 

 with the upper surface and apex reddish. The anterior tibiee 

 have two teeth besides the apical one. There is a round 

 yellow spot on the outer part of the posterior coxse.

Macronota flavosparsa, n. sp. 



Nigra, opaca ; capite vittis duabus flavis ; clypeo vix emarginato, 

 margine perparum reflexo ; thorace vittis quatuor m^aculisque 

 baseos obliquis flavis ; scutello flavo-limbato ; elytris macula 

 communi mediana, altera apicali, duabus lateralibus flavis ; cor- 

 pore subtus nigro nitido, ad latera plus minusve flavo. 



Elytris vel rubris nigro-vittatis, vel totis nigris. 



Long, 7 lin. 



Very similar to M. quadrivittata ^ in general appearance, 

 but the two middle stripes on the thorax converge posteriorly 

 and generally unite at a short distance from the base, where 

 there are two separate oblique spots. The yellow stripes on 

 the head are rather broad, and tiiere is a rather large spot 

 above each eye. The thorax is parallel at the sides poste- 

 riorly, obliquely narrowed anteriorly, impressed at the basal
