372 LAMELLICOBNIA. 



females, and are indeterminable, but in general form and markings they agree with 

 this species. E. vestita is larger (15 millim.) than any of the preceding species, and 

 more convex and elongate-ovate in the males, this sex having the antennal club twice 

 the length of the remaining joints, and correspondingly broad. The thorax is trape- 

 zoidal, but rather elongated, and is strongly arcuate-sinuate in the middle of the base. 



28. Euphoria eximia. 



cf . Oblonga, virescenti-nigra, supra opaca, breviter erecte pilosa, thorace vitta utrinque marginali pygidioque 

 inaculis duabus magnis, cretaceo-albis ; thorace maculis tribus basalibus elytrisque maculis numerosis et 

 fascia maculari ante apicem rufo-aurantiacis ; corpore subtus nigro-polito, ventris segmentis l°-5 m utrinque 

 cretaceo-albo fasciatis ; capite nigro, confluenter punctate-, clypeo valde elongato lateribusque rotundatis, 

 margine mediocriter reflexo apicali medio depresso-sinuato. Antennarum clava maxime elongata ; tibiae 

 anticee graciles, prope apicem breviter bidentatee. Processus sternalis brevis et valde dilatatus, apice paullo 

 rotundato. 



Long. 14 millim.

Closely allied to E. atra, but larger, more oblong, and always glabrous above and 

 beneath, generally black ; the antennal club in the male is scarcely longer than joints 

 1-7 ; the scutellum is shining, and more or less punctured, the punctuation generally 

 confined to the base; the elytral costse are narrower and more strongly elevated; 

 and the grey pubescence of the under surface is dense on the sides of the ventral 

 segments. Some examples have traces of reddish spots at the base (sometimes at the 

 sides) of the thorax and on the elytra, or are reddish-tawny, with two broad dusky vittae 

 on the thorax and the elytra marbled with dusky ; these specimens are not easily to 

 be distinguished from abraded examples of E. vestita, the sinuation of the basal lobe 

 of the thorax is, however, considerably less. 



30. Euphoria subguttata. 



Erirhipis subguttata, Burm. Handb. der Ent. iii. p. 392. 

 Hah. Mexico 1 . 



This species is not contained in our collection. It is compared with the North- 

 American E. fulgida, but is stated to be opaque above, emerald-green or golden- 

 coppery, with the limb of the thorax and numerous spots and the apical margin of the 

 elytra white.
