50 MR, MARTIN JACOBY ON NEW [May 12, 



flavous, tlie terminal joints strongly transverse ; thorax more than 

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

 produced forwards, the disc finely and closely punctured near the 

 base, less closely so at the sides and anteriorly, the first-named 

 portion flavous, the disc black, this colour in shape of a sub- 

 quadrate patch the sides of which are concave, the anterior edge 

 slightly divided at the middle ; scutellum black ; elytra somewhat 

 widened posteriorly, closely, ii-regularly, and rather finely punc- 

 tured throughout, flavous, with two oblique narr-ow blackish 

 stripes joined at the shoulders, the first extending below the 

 middle and connected down the suture with the lateral stripe, 

 the flavous ground-colour- therefore forms a large triangular patch 

 at the anterior portion and another one at each side, the suture 

 is likewise black for a short distance at the base; the breast 

 black, the abdomen and legs flavous ; metasternum scarcely raised, 

 claw-joint bidentate. 



Hah. Marcapata, Peru. 



This interesting species scarcely fits into any of the groups as 

 arranged by Stal, on account of the entirely irregularly-punctured 

 elytra, at the same time the other charactei's agree with Stilodes ; 

 from any of the species the present one is distinguished by the 

 system of coloration and the rather curious pattern of the elyti'a. 

 I received a single specimen from Herr Bang- Haas, of Dresden. 



Deuterocampta puncticollis, sp. nov. 



Fulvous, the apical joints of the antennae, the knees, and tarsi 

 black ; thorax strongly and closely punctured ; elytra regularly 

 punctate-striate, fulvous, the sutural mai'gins narrowly black. 



Length 8 m^illim. 



Head finely punctate, fulvous ; antennse black, the basal two 

 joints fulvous, term.inal ones transversely widened ; thorax of the 

 same shape as that of D. scittellata, but more closely punctured, 

 the punctures at the sides scarcely stronger than those at the disc ; 

 scutellum fulvous ; elytra regularly punctate-striate, each elytron 

 ■with 10 I'ows of punctures, the subsutui'al i-ow abbi-eviated before 

 the middle, the extreme sutui-al margins black ; the knees and the 

 tarsi black, the rest of the imder surface fulvous. 



Ilab. Brazil ? 



Closely allied to Z>. scutellata, of which it may possibly be a 

 variety, but the thorax more closely and evenly punctured, the 

 scutellum and underside fulvous, the legs also differently coloured. 



Deuterocampta scutellata, sp. nov. 



Underside and legs, the terminal joints of the antennfe, and 

 the scutellum black, above fulvous ; thoi'ax strongly punctured at 

 the sides, elytra regularly and strongly punctate-striate. 



Length 8 millim. 



Head impunctate, fulvous ; antennae short, black, terminal 

 joints transverse, broader than long, the lower two joints fulvous ;
