 Hah. Babia. 



Thorax transverse, twice as broad as long ; sides rounded, the 

 anterior angles mucronate ; disk rather closely punctured, the 

 puncturing varying both in degree and density in different indi- 

 viduals. Elytra regularly punctate- striate, the punctures pale 

 piceous ; interspaces impunctate, with the exception of the one 

 between the seventh and eighth striae, which is impressed about 

 its middle with a few punctures, equal in size to those on the striae 

 themselves. 



DoRYPHORA MCESTA, n. sp. Anguste oblonga, convexa, eupreo-nigra> 

 nitida, antennis nigris ; thorace irregulariter punctato, angulis anticis 

 mucronatis, mucrone fulvo ; elytris sat fortiter punctatis, punctis disco 

 externo inordinatis, disco interno striatim dispositis, striis gemella- 

 tis, fulvis, utrinque sutura maculisque sex superficiem fere amplec- 

 tentibus cupreo-nigris, barum prima baseos postice erosa, secunda 

 elongata apicali ad marginem apicalem adfixa, caeteris irregularibus 

 fascias interruptas duas, unam ante alteram pone medium positas, 

 formantibus ; limbo inflexo fulvo, tertia parte apicali cupreo-nigra ; 

 spina valida. Long. 6 lin. 



Hah. Columbia, Bogota. 



Face rather closely punctured between the eyes ; antennae half 

 the length of the body. Thorax more than twice as broad as 

 long ; sides nearly straight and parallel, rounded and converging 

 at the apex, the anterior angle mucronate, its apex fulvous ; 

 upper surface concave on either side, the surface irregularly punc- 

 tured. Ely tra broader than the thorax, their sides parallel, their 

 apices regularly rounded. Mesosternal spine rather shorter than 

 the metasternum. 



Nearly allied to D. cisseis, Stal ; at once known by its narrower 

 thorax and by its narrower and more parallel form ; the markings 

 on the elytra are also much larger, covering nearly the whole of 

 the surface.

 thorace sat crebre fortiter punctato ; elytris confuse geraellato-striato- 

 punctatis punctis disco externo inordinatis, pallide stramineis ; 

 limbo angusto, ad suturam magis distincto, fasciisque duabus erosis,
