LYCODERES ANGORA, Germ. 
Centrotus ancora, Germ. Mag. d. Ent. IV. 322, pi. I. fig. 3. 
Small; pronotum dark brown, with a short erect horn, having a flattish fuscated 
summit. The posterior part much curved and greatly dilated at the apex ; abdomen 
acute, orange yellow showing the male styles largely developed; legs distinctly spatulate ; 
the tegmina finely irridescent with a yellow band or fascia near the apical borders, 
edged with fuscous and the basal portion also is fuscous. 
A single insect in the Hope Collection is doubl} r labelled, L. ancora and L. fusca. 
I consider this specimen to be the male of L. furca. It is more brightly coloured 
than my figure of the female drawn on Plate XLIV. fig. 4. Though so small it 
is a pretty insect with its delicate wings. 
Expanse, 12 x 5 mm. 
Habitat .—Rio Janeiro.
