species before them at the time. It is altogether a more slender 

 insect. 



This species is dedicated to Senor J. Tremolares, late sub- 

 director of the National Museum of Uruguay, who, almost 

 alone, is keeping up an interest in the entomology of Uruguay. 

 He is now on the staff of the Uruguay Geological Survey.

No examples of this species are in the Uruguayan Na- 

 tional collection ; but the type was taken in Uruguay. It is 

 close to variegata Fairm. and octolineata Stal. It differs from 

 the former by the design of the prothorax and color of the 

 tegmina ; from the latter in its smaller size, absence of eight 

 lines, and color of the tegmina. It is found in November, on 

 Acacia farnesiana Willd.

The entomology of Utuguay is well represented in the col- 

 lection of the National Museum of Uruguay, where the in- 

 sects are well taken care of. It is to be hoped that arrange- 

 ments will soon be made for the correct identification of the 

 material not already determined by the late zoologist, Senor 

 J. Tremolares.
