2. Carynota maculata sp. nov. (Plate IH, Figs. 3 and 4.) 



Size a little smaller than C. mera Say to which it seems 

 most nearly related, but differs from that species in color, in 

 form of body and in shape of pronotum. Should be recognized 

 by the black color with yellow markings, the low anterior pro- 

 notum, the flattened dorsum, and the very prominent swell- 

 ings at the base of the head. 



Dorsum not laterally compressed; rounded before and flattened 

 above. Wings with apical areas sessile, their bases truncate. Color 

 black with irregular markings of orange yellow. 



Head convex, slightly wider than long, yellowish mottled with black, 

 roughly sculptured, finely punctate, sparsely pubescent; two large sub- 

 globular protuberances on front of head, one on each side of median 

 line at base; ocelli situated meso-cephalad of protuberances and nearer 

 to each other than to the eyes ; eyes brown and not prominent ; clypeus 

 small, pilose. 



Pronotum black with irregular patches of yellow, densely and finely 

 punctate; very low in front, flattened on dorsum, somewhat swollen
