592 ON NEW SPECIES OF PHYTOPHAGOUS COLEOPTERA. 



nd an equally narrow transverse band below the middle, extending 

 to either margin. 

 Hah. Bolivia, Peiu. 



Closely allied to some of the varieties of the widely distribvited 

 H. cequinocticdis Linn., but evidently quite distinct, as I have many 

 specimens before me which show no variations. The species is 

 larger and of more elongate shape, the small llavous spot in front 

 of the humei-al callus in H. cequinoctialis is absent, the dark 

 elytral markings are linear and of different shape and entirely 

 separated, not confluent, and the antennas are more robust and, 

 like the legs, of a dark fulvous colour.
