54 MR. MARTIN JACOB Y ON NEW [May 12, 



Length 7 millim. 



Head finely punctured, black, the last joint of the palpi larger 

 than the preceding one ; antennas black, the lower two joints 

 fulvous below, the tenninal joints wanting ; thorax only about 

 one-half broader than long, the sides straight, the anterior angles 

 almost rectangular, not pi'oduced, the disc rather convex, closely 

 and rather strongly punctured, black, shining; elytra opaque, 

 with fine but distinct rows of punctures, Avhich ai'e less regular at 

 the sides, black, with two narrow bright flavous bands placed on 

 the third and last interstice and joined at the apex, the lateral 

 band with a single row of punctui'es and gi'adually narrowed 

 posteriorly, where the black margin assumes a widei- shape than 

 at the base, the bands ai-e connected at the base by a nari-ow 

 transverse stiipe ; metastei-num slightly transversely raised, the 

 claw-joint dentate, claws separated. 



Hab. Peru. 



The present species differs from its allies placed in Cosmo- 

 gramma by the distinctly punctate -striate elytra, the rather 

 naiTOW and closely-punctui'ed thorax, and the coloui' of the elytral 

 bands ; C. fulvocincta St. has fulvous antennas and legs, similarly 

 coloured elytral bands, and a diiTerently sculptured thorax. 



Calligrapha annulata, sp. nov. 



Metallic dark green, the basal joints of the antennse fulvous ; 

 thorax strongly punctured at the sides only ; elytra dark fulvous, 

 finely and irregularly punctured, a sutural naixow band, two spots 

 at the base, three before the middle, a ring-shaped mark below 

 the latter, and two other small spots at the apex metallic green. 



Var. One or more spots at the anterior poition w-anting, the 

 ring-shaped mark interrupted. 



Length 6 millim. 



Oi narrow and elongate shape, metallic dark green, the head 

 with a few fine punctures, the antenna) with strongly thickened 

 terminal joint, black, the lower three joints fulvous, the basal 

 joint jeneous above ; thorax rather short, metallic green, strongly 

 punctured at the sides only, the disc nearly impunctate ; scutellum 

 jjeneous ; elytra finely and irregularly punctured except near the 

 suture, where two rows of punctures accompany the metallic- 

 green stripe; the latter is gradually and slightly narrowed 

 towards the apex ; of the spots one is placed on the shoulders, 

 another near the scutellum, both of elongate shape; these are 

 followed by three small spots (when present) placed triangularly ; 

 below the middle is an irregular metallic-green ring, sometimes 

 niterrupted, and at the apex two small spots are situated. 



Hab. Bolivia. 



I know of no other similarly marked species which is less 

 convex and rounded than most of its congeners ; in the variety, " 

 of the three spots placed in a triangle, only the outer one is 

 pi'csent.
