46 MR. MARTIN JACOBY OX XEW [May 12, 



in front of the eyes, the surface very minutely and evenly punc- 

 tured ; scuteUum obscure fulvous ; elytra strongly and closely 

 punctate-striate at the anterior portion, much more finely so 

 towards the apex, where the punctation is less regular, of pale 

 flavous ground-colour with two metallic blue bands, the first 

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

 extending obliquely to the lateral margins where it is much 

 narrowed, the second band immediately below the middle and 

 running parallel with the first, the suture likewise narrowly 

 margined with blue, and the space between the second band and 

 the apex filled with numerous small bluish spots; elytral epi- 

 pleurfe, the underside, and legs dark fulvous with aeneous gloss ; 

 mesosternal process very long and stout. 



Hah. Peru, (A single specimen.) 



In general markings this species resembles D. ceneofasciata, 

 but the elytral bands extend quite to the margins and are of 

 diflferent shape and size, and the anterior portion of the elytra is 

 devoid of spots ; the sculpture also is quite different. The same 

 remarks apply also to the species when comparing it with 

 D. hifasciata Fab. 



DORYPHORA PLAVOFASCIATA, Sp. nOV. 



Fulvous, the intermediate joints of the antennae black ; thorax 

 remotely and strongly punctured ; elytra strongly punctate-striate, 

 a spot near the scuteUum, another near the shoulders, an oblique 

 subsutural and another submarginal longitudinal band, flavous. 



Length 12 millim. 



Head impunctate ; antennse extending beyond the base of the 

 thorax, the lower five joints fulvous, the terminal two joints 

 flavous, the others black, terminal joints slightly thickened, 

 scarcely longer than broad ; thorax three times broader than long, 

 the sides strongly flattened, the lateral margins straight at the 

 base, rounded in front, anterior angles acute, the disc rather 

 strongly and remotely punctured ; elytra regularly convex (highest 

 before the middle), finely but i-ather regularly pvxnctured in closely 

 approached rows, more strongly punctured at the base, with an 

 elongate spot near the scuteUum, a submarginal band to which 

 another spot is joined above the shoulders, and another subsutural 

 band abbreviated anteriorly and posteriorly, flavous ; below entirely 

 fulvous, mesosternal process very long and nearly straight. 



Hah. Colombia. (A single specimen.) 



Of nearly similar coloration as D. chevrolati St., bvit much larger, 

 the thorax broader and flattened, and the elytral punctation 

 quite different. 



DORYPHORA ^NEOFASCIATA, Sp. nov. 



Greenish black below; thorax obscure seneous, very finely 

 punctured, the lateral margins flavous ; elytra irregularly punc- 

 tured, pale flavous, with numerous small seneous spots and two
