INSECTA SAUNDERSIANA. 
lateral, a third subrnarginal, smaller, also a little behind the second,—they 
conjointly form a transverse oblique row descending to the margin at one- 
third of the length,—a fourth on the middle of the elytron between the 1st 
and 5th striae; a fifth spot 'much smaller, lateral, is observable at two- 
thirds of the length; finally, many other small spots or lineolse along 
the margin and posteriorly, forming, with interrupted flavous lines of the 
interstices, a sort of tessellation. There are also flavous lines on the 
alternate dorsal interstices, joining the maculae with each other, but 
these lines are often reduced to a nebulous lighter coloration of the 
ground. 
Pygidium semielliptic, subperpendicular, fulvous-piled. 
Legs ferruginous, slightly clothed with fulvous; thighs near the apex, 
tibiae towards the base and near the apex, adorned with small brown rings. 
I have seen five specimens of this pretty little species.

Synon.: Cratoparis Besckei , Chevrolat in litt. 
Patria : Brasilia. 
This species very much resembles in size, general outline and the 
number of maculations Crat. tigris , Sch., and Crat. tapirus , Dj.-Imhoff, 
after which and the above described species it must take place, leading 
rather naturally to Crat. Zebra , Sch. and Crat. Sallei of the present work, 
by its unicolor or non ocellated maculae.
