7. Eburia tetrastalacta, n. s. B.M. 



E. subfemiginea, pilis cinereis adpressis confertissime tecta ; 

 thorace verrucis quatuor nigris denudatis, duabus dorsalibus ; 

 elytris singulis maculis quatuor flavis politis, duabus basalibus 

 approximatis, duabus post mediam proximis, exteriore majore ; 

 femoribus pedum quatuor posteriorum apice bispinis ; anten- 

 narum articulis apice simplicibus. 



Allied to the E, distincta, but smaller than that species. It 

 is of a pale ferruginous, that colour being clearest on the legs ; it 

 is very closely covered with short ash-coloured hairs which he 

 close to the surface. The thorax, through the hair, seems to be 

 covered with short waves ; there are four black bluntish warts, 

 devoid of hair, two on the back before the lateral spine, and two 

 on the sides between the spine and the fore edge. The elytra 

 have each four smooth ivory-like spots, two at the base not quite 

 touching, and two behind the middle with their edges touching, 

 the outer of these last is larger than the other. The joints of the 

 antennae are simple at the tip. 



Length 9 to 9| hues. 

 Hab. Jamaica (Coll. Gosse) ; Brazil (Ent. Club).

9. Eburia postica, n. s. B.M. 



E. flava, capite thoraceque pilis aureis supra tectis ; thorace spinis 

 et maculis duabus dorsalibus verruciferis nigris ; elytris nu- 

 diusculis punctatis, singulis maculis sex politis, duabus basa- 

 libus geminatis postice nigro-marginatis, duabus medianis 

 geminatis antice et postice nigro-marginatis, duabus subapica- 

 libus distortis et non arete definitis. 



Yellow, head above covered with golden hairs, antennae yellow. 

 Thorax on the under side covered with ash-coloured hairs, on the 

 upper side with golden hairs; spines and two oblong spots on 

 back black, these spots have a wart on the inner edge. Elytra 

 rather roughly punctured, each with six smooth spots, two at the 

 base nearly equal in size and closely approximating, edged behind 

 with a black spot ; two about the middle closely approximating, 

 edged in front and behind with black. Near the apex are two 

 distorted yellow spots, with indefinite edges. Legs yellow ; meta-
