new species of Cleridcc. 413 



reaching the suturej and sometimes ahiiost divided in its 

 middle. The base of the thighs, and trochanters yellow. 

 Hab. — Amazon, Ega (Bates); coll. Fry. 



Var. ? — peloniodes. 



Elytris minus ampliatis, fascia paulo distincta, margine 

 usque ad medium tenuiter flava. 



Hab. — Amazon, Santarem (Bates). 



A male and female taken in copula present no important 

 external differences, and afford A^aluable evidence that the 

 structure of the antennse are at least sometimes alike in 

 both sexes in this genus ; the ventral segments are un- 

 fortunately too much shrunk and dried for careful study. 



Ichnea plumhea, n. sp. 



Nigro-picea, subnitida, capite, prothorace (disco ex- 

 cepto) sutura tenuissime, elytrorvmi limbo laterali, anten- 

 narum apice, femoribusque pallide testaceis ; elytris sub- 

 violaceis, crebre subtiliter punctatis. 



Long. 4 lin. 



Closely allied to enoplioides, Spin., from which it differs 

 in being wider, the eyes less approximating, the apex of 

 the antennjE pale, the punctures of the elytra less distinctly 

 in series. 



Hab. — Amazon (Bates); coll. Fry. 



Ichnea incerta, n. sp. 



Testacea, antennis (apice excepto), pectoris lateribus, 

 tibiis tarsisque basi, abdomine apice et supeme nigris, 

 elytris crebre subtiliter punctatis, basi striatis, nigro-fuscis, 

 limbo toto (humeris late) testaceis; sutura margineque 

 laterali interdum concoloribus. 



Long. 4 — 4^ lin. 



Allied to pluvibea, and agreeing Avith it in having the 

 apex of the antenna? pale ; it differs, however, in the 

 colour of the body, which is of a richer orange-red ; the 

 tibias are yellow at their base and the tarsi at the apex. 

 The elytra are more distinctly striate at their base, and 

 usually have the base widely yellow and the entire margin 

 of the same colour, the suture more widely so towards the 

 middle.
