Agrees with L. submaculatus in form of body, but differs in the 
light colour of the legs and in the absence of fover from the elytra ; 
the interstices are very distinctly punctulated, and the anterior elytral 
spot is placed close to the shoulder, instead of near the disc, at one-fourth 
the elytral length, as in L. foveatus and L. submaculatus. 
Rio Janeiro. Taken by Mr. Squires and Rev. H. Clark. In my 
own collection and that of Mr. Grut. 
LACHNOPHORUS FOVEATUS, n. sp.—usco-cupreus, sub-nitidus, dense 
fusco pubescens ; capite thoraceque latitudine cequalibus, subtiliter creberrime 
punctulato-rugosis ; hoe alutaceo, cordato, antice modice rotundato-dilatato ; 
elytris amplis, sub-quadratis, profunde striatis, striis grosse punctatis, inter- 
stitiis sub-rugosis, plicatis, haud distincte punctatis, utringue fovers magnis 
tribus, fasciisque duabus brevibus curvatis, rufo-testacers (quarum und ab 
humero distans ¢ maculis 4—5 parvis, altera discoidalis posterior ¢ macults 
3—4 formata) notatis ; antennarum articulis 4 basalibus femoribusque rufo- 
testaceis, palpis tibiis et tarsis piceis. Long. 2i--3 lin. 8 2. 10 exempl. 
| Distinguished from L. quadrinus by the great difference in its 
| punctuation, and by the reddish spots of the elytra, which, instead of 
being broad, short, streaks, consist only of a number of small spots on 
adjoining interstices: the stria near the suture are very deeply impressed. 
L. impressus, Brullé, is described as without elytral spots; in none of 
my specimens of L. foveatus are the spots wanting, otherwise his descrip- 
tion agrees pretty well with my insect. 
Upper Amazons. Abundant.
