 I am unable to express any opinion on this species. 



The following four species have been described by Nicolet from 

 Chili :— 



6. ElSTTOMOBEYA MEMEEANEA, Nic. 



1849. Degeeria membranea, Nic, Gay^s Hist. Chile. 



" _D. elongata, pallida; antennis crassis, longitudine corporis ; 

 abdominis segmeuto quarto duplo longiore primis tribus con- 

 junctim. Affinissima prsecedenti." He adds : — •" Body not very 

 hairy, entirely of a dirty white, yellowish and shining, like old 

 parchment. Long. 1 line." Sab. Chili. 



This species is probably a Sira, as the " preceding species " to 

 which he refers (J), crassicornis) is a scaled species. 



7. Entomobeta inceeta, Nic. 



1849. Degeeria incerta, Mc, Gay's Hist. Chile. 



"-D. elongata, villosa, fusco nigroque variegata ; pedibus fur- 

 caque flavescente nigro maculatis." He adds : — " Body of a dark 

 yellowisb fuscous, irregularly spotted with black ; legs and spring 

 yellow, with several black spots. Antennae yellow, ringed with 

 black at the articulations. Long. 2 lines." 



This species differs from the others of the genus by having the 

 fifth and sixth segments about equal in length, and the spring 

 short, approaching that of Isotoma. Hah. Chili. 



8. Entomobeta decoea, Nic. 



1849. Degeeria decora, Mc, Gay's Hist. Chile. 



" D. oblonga, depressa, flava, corpora nigro maculato, antennis 

 primis articulis luteis, ultimo nigro ; pedibus furcaque flavescent- 

 ibus." The anterior margin of the head and the eyes are black ; 

 the first segment of the thorax is of a paler yellow than the rest 

 of the body, margined with black. The abdomen has a median 

 longitudinal band composed of four transverse, quadrate, black
