another below the middle, and a third near the apex, bright 

 flavous. 



Length lOmillim. 



Head impunctate, black, opaque and of silky appearance ; 

 labrum flavous ; antenna; extending to the base of the elytra, the 

 lower joints flavous, the terminal three or four joints piceous, one- 

 half longer than broad ; thorax strongly transverse, the sides 

 straight, the anterior angles not produced, the surface sculptured 

 like the head, with a few minute punctures; scutellum black, 

 shining ; elytra with extremely feeble rows of punctures, which 

 are entirely obsolete below the middle, black, with three narrow 

 transverse bright yellow bands, the first at the base and divided 

 by a very narrow perpendicular black stripe at the shoulders, the 

 second narrow band below the middle, slightly constricted near 

 the sides, the third short and broader band of oblique direction 

 near the apex, elytral epipleuree flavous ; underside and legs black, 

 shining, the trochanters dark fulvous; metasternal epipleurse 

 nearly impunctate. 



Hah. Espirito Santo, Brazil. 



Closely allied to >S'. transversofasciata Jac, but of entirely 

 difierent sculpturing and with the elytral bands of different shape. 



Stilodes flavilabrum, sp. nov. 



Blackish blue, the labrum flavous ; head impunctate ; thorax 

 finely punctured, opaque; elytra strongly punctate-striate, flavous, 

 a broad band at the base, another below the middle, not extending 

 to the lateral margins, and the apex, more or less, bluish black. 



Length 10 millim. 



Of rather elongate shape, pointed at the apex, the head opaque, 

 impunctate, greenish ; the labrum flavous ; antennte rather 

 slender, blackish, the lower three joints flavous below ; 

 thorax about one-half broader than long, the sides str'aight, the 

 surface opaque, of silky appearance, finely and subremotely punc- 

 tured, greenish black ; scutelhxm black, shining ; elytra with 

 regular and deep rows of punctiu^es, the punctures much finer on 

 the flavous portion and not always evenly placed, the sutural and 

 lateral margins, two broad transverse bands before and below the 

 middle, and the apex to a small extent, bluish-black ; underside 

 and legs shining blue-black, the last abdominal segment with a 

 small fulvous spot at each side ; the metasternum impunctate at 

 the sides. 



Hah. Sao Paulo, Brazil. 



Like the preceding species closely allied to S'. transversofasciata 

 Jac, but with both elytral bands laterally inteiTupted, the thorax 

 very finely and the elytra much more strongly punctured, and the 

 general size much larger. 



Stilodes pruhstorferi, sp. nov. 



Black, the antennse fulvous ; thorax sparingly punctured, with 

 two flavous spots anteriorly ; elytra punctate-striate, a spot near
