414 MR. MARTIN JACOBY ON NEW SPECIES | Noy. 28, 
sutural and an equally narrow discoidal longitudinal band, 
ferrugineous. 
Length 6 millim. 
Head impunctate or with a few fine punctures ; eyes large, the 
diameter of each as wide as the intermediate space, frontal 
elevations subquadrate, carina short and blunt; antenne scarcely 
extending to the middle of the elytra, pale fulvous, basal joint 
robust and elongate, third joint slightly shorter than fourth, 
terminal joints shorter than the intermediate ones ; thorax short, 
the sides broadly suleate, anterior angles with a short tooth, the 
dise impunctate, with an obsolete transverse sulcus near the base ; 
elytra nearly parallel, somewhat flattened, finely and closely 
punctured, testaceous, the suture very narrowly ferrugineous ; 
a similar, slightly and inwardly curved band extends from the 
shoulders to near the apex; metatarsus as long as the following 
two joints together, claw-joint strongly swollen; prosternum 
linear. 
Hab. Bolivia. 
The elytral dark bands are very narrow and of equal width 
and the discoidal one is of slightly curved shape. ‘The species, on 
account of the distinctly elongate metatarsus of the posterior 
legs, cannot be mistaken for a similarly coloured species of 
Ocdionychis. 
Elyira otherwise marked. 
ASPH#RA LACERATA, Sp. N. 
Elongate and parallel, black ; thorax dark fulvous, impunctate, 
the anterior angles produced and blunt; elytra finely rugose 
anteriorly, impunctate, black, a round patch at the base, a small 
one at the shoulders, a transverse subdivided patch at the middle, 
and another at the apex, testaceous. 
Length 9 millim. 
Head black, impunctate, the frontal elevations broad and flat ; 
clypeus in shape of a strongly raised triangular ridge; eyes widely 
separated; antenne black, long, the third and following joints 
equal; thorax transversely subquadrate, convex, of equal width, 
the lateral margins nearly straight, accompanied by very deep and 
narrow sulci, the anterior angles blunt and produced forwards, 
the dise impuncate, dark fulvous; scutellum black; elytra with 
narrow but deeply reflexed lateral margins, furnished with fine 
rugosities anteriorly but without punctuation, each elytron with 
four testaceous or pale flavous patches, which are separated by 
narrow transverse black bands before and below the middle, at 
the latter place the band sends off a spur towards the suture, 
thereby subdividing the preceding flavous portion ; all the margins 
of the elytra as well as a humeral stripe and the epipleure are 
likewise black; of the same colour are the under side and the legs. 
Hab. Peru. 
IT have only a single specimen of this somewhat peculiar species 
before me; whether the fine elytral rugosities to be seen at the
