408 MR. MARTIN JACOBY ON NEW SPECIES [ Nov. 28, 
The comparatively small width of the thorax and the widely 
separated elytral green bands, in connection with the fulvous head 
and antenne, distinguish this species, which is evidently closely 
allied to A. oblecta Baly; but the head has no punctures nor 
hairs, the thorax is certainly not ‘more than twice as broad 
as long,” and the elytra are not furnished with hairs at the apical 
margins. 
ASPHERA DIMIDIATICORNIS, Sp. 0. 
Flavous, head piceous, the intermediate joints of the antenne 
black; thorax flavous, impunctate; elytra not perceptibly punc- 
tured, pale flavous, a transverse band at the base and a broader 
one below the middle metallic green; legs fulvous. 
Length 6 millim. 
Head impunctate, the vertex piceous; frontal elevations strongly 
raised, pyriform; clypeus flavous, semicircular, with an acute 
central ridge; eyes very large, the diameter of each larger than 
the dividing space; antenne long and slender, the lower and the 
apical three joints fulvous, the rest black, third and fourth joints 
very elongate, equal, apical joints shorter ; thorax twice as broad 
as long, slightly narrowed anteriorly, the anterior angles pointed 
but not produced, lateral margins evenly rounded, preceded by a 
broad suleation, the surface impunctate, flavous; scutellum fulvous; 
elytra widened at the middle, yellowish-white, with two broad 
transverse metallic-green bands, not extending to the lateral 
margins, the first extending from the base to nearly the middle, 
the second immediately below the latter and abbreviated at some 
distance from the apex, both bands are of nearly subquadrate 
shape; the breast and the legs pale fulvous, abdomen flavous, the 
tarsi obscure piceous; the metatarsus moderately elongate, claw- 
joint strongly swollen. 
Hab. Yeuador. 
Distinguished by the colour of the head and the antenne, the 
large eyes and broad elytral bands, pale legs, &e. 
ASPHERA DEJEANI, Sp. Nn. 
Black; thorax impunctate, testaceous, the entire disc black ; 
elytra impunctate, testaceous, a broad band at the base and 
another below the middle, not extending to the lateral margins, 
metallic blue; claw-joint scarcely swollen. 
Length 8 millim. 
Head with some punctures near the eyes, black, frontal elevations 
strongly raised, narrow and transverse; antenne extending beyond 
the middle of the elytra, black, all the joints elongate and slender, 
the third and fourth equal; thorax twice as broad as long, the 
lateral margins scarcely rounded, the anterior angles more than 
usually produced and pointed (in one specimen tc a much smaller 
extent), anterior margin concave, the sides broadly but not deeply 
sulcate, testaceous as well as the extreme base, the rest of the 
surface occupied by a transverse black band; scutellum black ;
