of the labrum. Antennae extending to base of first abdominal seg- 

 ment; joints 1 to 3 shining and sparsely punctate, the following 

 joints opaque and densely pubescent; joint 1 slightly clavate; joints 

 2 and 3 slender and cylindrical, the second small, and the third about 

 as long as the fourth and fifth united; joint 4 feebly enlarged toward 

 apex; joints 5 to 10 compact and slightly serrate; joint 11 oblong, 

 and acute at apex. 



Pronotum slightly longer than wide ; sides arcuately rounded, and 

 feebly constricted at base; surface depressed, somewhat uneven, but 

 without distinct longitudinal ridges, densely, coarsely, and conflu- 

 ently punctate, and rather densely, irregularly clothed with moder- 

 ately long, recumbent black and yellow pubescence, with a few erect 

 hairs of the same color intermixed. Scutellum triangular, and 

 densely clothed with yellow pubescence. 



Elytra extending to middle of third abdominal segment, rather 

 strongly subulate, strongly dehiscent posteriorly, with the tips 

 narrowly rounded ; surface glabrous, with the black margins densely, 

 coarsely punctate, becoming tuberculous at the base, and the vitreous 

 areas sparsely, obsoletely punctate. 



Abdomen beneath shining, rather coarsely, irregularly punctate, 

 and irregularly clothed with recumbent and erect hairs. Sternum 

 rather densely, irregularly clothed with long, recumbent pale yellow 

 pubescence. Anterior and middle legs short, femora strongly 

 clavate, and the anterior tibiae densely clothed with short brownish 

 pubescence on inner sides. Posterior legs long, femora rather 

 strongly clavate near apex, and the tibiae clothed with erect black 

 hairs, which are denser and longer on the apical half.

Type locality. — Bahia, Brazil. 



Type and paratype.—Coi. No. 42825, U. S. N. M. 



Described from two females (one type) collected at the type 

 locality. 



This species is closel}^ allied to femorata Klug and carinicollis 

 Bates. It differs from the former in having the abdomen and tarsi 

 black, and the club of the posterior femora bright red. It resembles 

 carinicollis Bates very closely, but rufofemorata is larger and more 

 robust than that species, the anterior and middle legs are black 

 except at the base, and the pronotum is not distinctly trisulcate.
