Hah. Peru. (Three specimens.) .tit 



Somewhat resembling D. cestuans L., but the underside black 

 and the elytral markings in shape of two rings ; in all my speci- 

 mens the anterior band is interrupted near the sutiu-e and at the 

 posterior edge, but this may not be always the case. 



DOEYPHORA SANGUINIPENNIS, Sp. nOV. 



Black, the tibife metallic greenish ; head with one, thorax with 

 two obscure fulvous spots at the sides, the latter closely punctured ; 

 elytra reddish fulvous, finely and irregularly punctured, the 

 interstices minutely aciculate. 



Length 14 millim. 



Oblong, parallel, the greatest convexity at the base of the 

 elytra ; the head very finely and closely punctured, greenish black, 

 with a triangular fulvous spot at the vertex ; antennse extending 

 to the base of the elytra, bluish black, the terminal joints gradu- 

 ally and strongly widened, but slightly longer than broad ; thorax 

 twice as broad as long, the sides flattened, the anterior angles 

 not produced, the disc closely, finely, and somewhat rugosely 

 punctured at the sides, much more sparingly so at the disc, the 

 latter blackish, with a small fulvous spot at each side ; elytra 

 scarcely wider at the base than the thorax, closely, irregularly, and 

 rather finely punctured, the interstices finely aciculate ; meso- 

 sternal process rather short and stout. 



Hah. Provinz Goyaz, Brazil. (A single specimen.) 



DORYPHOEA STAUDINGERI, Sp. nOV. 



Greenish black, the last four joints of the antennse pale flavous ; 

 thoi-ax minutely and closely punctured ; elytra closely punctured 

 in double or treble rows, flavous, a broad transverse band at the 

 base, a narrower one below the middle, the suture, and numerous 

 small spots below the second band greenish- black. 



Length 11 millim. 



Elytra with the greatest height at the base, from there to the 

 apex deflexed ; head finely punctured, opaque, greenish black, 

 labrum testaceous ; antennte extending nearly to the middle of the 

 elytra, the basal two or three joints below and the terminal four 

 pale yellow, the latter widened, longer than broad, the other 

 joints black ; thorax nearly three times broader than long, the 

 sides rounded anteriorly, the anterior angles produced into a point, 

 the surface closely and finely punctured, less closely so at the disc, 

 the sides with a small fovea, the colour similar to that of the head ; 

 scutellum shining, blackish ; elytra strongly punctured in closely 

 approached treble rows, the margins of the bands irregularly 

 notched, both bands of oblique direction, the first one placed 

 immediately below the base, double the width of the second one, 

 which is situated immediately below the middle, both bands not 

 quite extending to the lateral margins, the second one gradually 

 dissolved into numerous small spots which fill out the posterior
