part of Smilia of Amyot and Serville. Fairmaire’s outline figures show a great 
diversity of forms of the pronota. The neuration of the tegmina is obscurely 
indicated by the elytra, showing by description four basal and two discoidals 
separated by one basal cell. 
I describe a large and handsome species, which has certain affinities with the 
foregoing genera Oxygonia and Polyglypta. 
THELIA MULTIGLYPTA. 
(Plate XLII. fig. 3 d, and fig. 4 $? .) 
Thelia multiglypta, Fairm. l.c. PI. V. figs. 4 and 12, p. 3 f, G. 
The pronotum keeled and boat-like (“ naviformis ”), with a head apparently 
capable of protrusion. The sides are deeply scored with many longitudinal furrows 
or striae, which are also deeply punctured with brown or black points. These 
striations are more pronounced in the males. Fairmaire states the colours as varying 
from yellow to sanguinary, with red femora and black tibiae. The colour of my 
specimens are not so brilliant, but I do not doubt their identity as given above. 
Their occurrence at Canar, in Ecuador, may account for their different sizes 
in Bogota. 
Expanse, 22 mm. 
Size, from 12 x 4 to 14 x G mm.

PUBLILIA CONCAVA, St&l. 
(Plate XLII. fig. 5.) 
Entylia concavci , Germ. Membracis concava, Say. in Long’s second exped. ii. p. 301 (1824). 
This genus was erected by Stal to receive the above species, the chief charac¬ 
teristic of which is a slight depression before the middle of the convex edge of the 
pronotum. Dr. Charles Aurivilliers enables me to figure one of Stals type-specimens 
of Publilia. 
Canon Fowler doubts the necessity of dividing the genus Entylia, but the 
neuration of the tegmina appears slightly to differ in the genera. 
Size, 10 x 6 mm. 
Habitat. —Wisconsin, America. 
ATYMNA CASTANE2F. 
Still, l.c. p. 554. Fowler, l.c. p. 140. 
Very like Cyrtolobus of Coding. 
Smilia castanea of Fitch appears to differ from Atymna castanea only in having a 
smoky band at the apex of the tegmina. 
Habitat ,—North America, New York.
