This species seems to be subject to variation, varying from 6 to 8 lines in size. The smaller specimens show a much finer punctuation of the thorax, and approach nearer in that respect D. alumna, Stal ; but they do not differ in other respects from D. javeti, and I consider them to be a variety of that species. 42. DORYPHORA FULVICORNIS, Guer. 43. DORYPHORA THOMSONI, Baly. The Ecuador specimens differ from the type in having two metallic green spots at the base of the head, but are similar in all other respects. 44. DORYPHORA PLUVIATA, Baly. 45. DORYPHORA AMBIGUA, Erichs. 46. DORYPHORA NYMPHA, Stal. I cannot find any difference between this species and D. pulchella, Baly (Entom. Monthly Mag. 1877), except that the latter is metallic blue instead of green. Baly does not himself point out the difference ; and as some specimens from Ecuador, collected bv Mr. Buckley, are also blue, I believe the two insects to be identical. 47. DORYPHORA FESTIVA, Baly. 48. DORYPHORA HEBE, Baly. 49. DORYPHORA CHAPUISI, Baly. 50. DORYPHORA VESPERTINA, Baly. 51. DORYPHORA DEGAUDEI, Baly. 52. DORYPHORA FLEXUOSA, Baly. 53. DORYPHORA ALBOVIRENS, Stll. 54. DORYPHORA FUNEBRIS, sp. nov. Oblong-ovate. Metallic green ; elytra finely geminate-punctate-striate, testaceous, each elytron with three deeply dentate transverse greenish seneous bands. Length 6\-7 lines. Head very finely punctate ; labrum testaceous; antennse black, the two basal joints metallic green, fulvous below, apical joints distinctly flattened and as broad as long, terminal joint longer than broad. Thorax rounded and widened near the apex, anterior angles mucronate ; surface with a distinct round fovea on each side near the lateral margin, distinctly but very remotely punctate, with a deeply |
