1903.] COLEOPTERA OF THE PERCY SLADEN EXPEDITIOX. 255 



species, each being almost equal in width to the eye itself. The 

 front coxa? of the male have a more or less obtuse tubercle at the 

 distal end. 



Deuterocampta SLADEN^, sp. n. (Plate XXVIII. fig. 10.) 



Testacea ; elytris nigro-fuscis, lUrisqioe margine hasali et vittis 

 sex {quarum prima hrevissima) aureo-flavis ; pronoto medio 

 parce subtiliterque, ad latera fortitei- densiusqite, punctalo ; 

 articulo ultimo tarsorum aplce suhtus hidentato. 



Long. 8, lat. 5 mm. 



Hob. Central Brazil : S. Anna da Ohapada. 



Brownish testaceous; elytra blackish brown, each with the 

 basal margin and six longitudinal bands of a golden-yellow colour, 

 the innermost band being very short and narrow; the 2nd and 6th 

 bands unite at the apex, just in front of which they are joined by 

 the 5th; the 3rd and 4th meet a little way in front^of the apex, 

 and a short common band unites them with the 5th ; distinct 

 rows of punctures mark the boundaries between the alternating 

 yellow and dark brown bands. Antennaj with the first three or 

 four joints testaceous, the rest black ; the last five being dilated to 

 form a club. Pronotum sparsely and finely punctured m the 

 middle, strongly and more closely at the sides, near which it is 

 slightly depressed. 



In structural characters this species comes close to D. musicaks 

 Stal though easily distinguishable from it by the markings of the 

 elytra, which are sugges'tive rather of the genus Zygogramma 

 than of Deicterocampta.
