of the sciitellum sufficiently distinguish it.

COPTOSOMA APICIFERA. 
Nigra ; caput luleo bigultatum ; antenncc jiavce; thorax fascia antica 
lutea interrupta utrivique dilatata ; scutellum strigis duabus trans- 
versis basalibus, plagis duabus exterioribus strigulis tribus sxib- 
apicalibus margineque poslico rufescenlibus ; ventris latera lutea; 
pedes Jiavi. 
Black, shining, almost smooth, rather longer than broad. Head with 
a luteous dot on each side near the fore border. Eyes reddish. Rostrum 
tawny. Antenna) and legs yellow. Thorax with a luteous band which 
extends along each side in front and along the fore border, and is attenuated 
and interrupted in the middle. Scutellum with the usual transverse 
suture; a transverse reddish streak on each side betw'een the suture and 
the base; an exterior large reddish patch on each side near the fore border ; 
three little longitudinal reddish streaks near the hind border, which is 
narrowly bordered with reddish. Abdomen luteous beneath along each 
side. Length of the body If line. 
It has most affinity to C. marginata and to C. \2-punctata, and differs 
much from both in the markings of the thorax and of the scutellum.

COPTOSOMA EUYTHROSPILA. 
Nigra; caput luteo bigultatum; antennee Jiavce ; thorax fascia antica 
pallide lutea interrupta utrimque dilatata ; scutellwn fascia basali 
abbreviata postice incisa plagisque duabus exterioribus obliquis luteis ; 
ventris latera luta ; pedes Jlaxi. 
Black, shining, very finely punctured, rather longer than broad. Head 
with a luteous dot on each side near the fore border. Eyes reddish. 
Rostrum tawny. Antennoe and legs yellow. Thorax with a pale luteous 
band which extends along each side in front and along the fore border, and 
is attenuated and interrupted in the middle. Scutellum with the transverse 
suture including betw'een it and the base an abbreviated luteous band 
which is deeply notched on the hind side ; a luteous oblique patch near the 
fore border. Abdomen beneath luteeus along each side. Length of the 
body If line. 
It is probably a mere variety of C. apicifera, but may be distinguished 
from the latter by a different name. The band on its scutellum is 
represented in C. opicifera by two streaks, the patch on each side is much 
larger, and the apical part is wholly black. It may be distinguished from 
C. hceniorrhoa by the entire band on the base of the scutellum and by the 
differently formed patch on each side of the latter.
