41. DoRYPHORA JAVETi, Baly. 



This species seems to be subject to variation, varying from 6 to 8 

 lines in size. Tlie smaller specimens show a much finer punctuation 

 of the thorax, and approach nearer in that respect D, alumna, Stal ; 

 but they do not differ in other respects from D.javeti, and I consider 

 them to be a variety of that species. 



42. DoRYPHORA FULVICORNIS, GrUc'r. 



43. DoRYPHORA THOMsoNi, Baly. 



The Ecuador specimens differ from the type in having two 

 metallic green spots at the base of the head, but are similar in all 

 other respects.

45. DoRYPHORA AMBiGUA, Erichs. 



46. DoRYPHORA NYMPHA, Stal. 



I cannot find any difference between this species and B. pulchella, 

 Baly (Entom. Monthly Mag. 1877), except that the latter is metallic 

 blue instead of green. Baly does Tiot himself point out the differ- 

 ence ; and as some specimens from Ecuador, collected by Mr. 

 Buckley, are also blue, I believe the two insects to be identical.

Oblong-ovate. Metallic green ; elytra finely geminate-punctate- 

 striate, testaceous, each elytron with three deeply dentate transverse 

 greenish aeneous bands. 



Length 6^-7 lines. 



Head very finely punctate ; labrum testaceous ; antennae black, 

 the two basal joints metallic green, fulvous below, apical joiuta 

 distinctly flattened and as broad as long, terminal joint longer than 

 broad. Thorax rounded and widened near the apex, anterior angles 

 niucronate ; surface with a distinct round fovea on each side near the 

 lateral margin, distinctly but very remotely punctate, with a deeply
