Show 34 MR. MARTIX JACOBY OX XEW [May 12, scutellum fulvous; elytra evenly convex, light flavous, punctured in double rows, the punctures fine, rather irregularly placed here and there, all the margins narrowly, and a humeral spot dark aeneous, below the middle is a broad transverse band with strongly dentate edges and not extending to the sides, another transveise, slightly curved band is placed below the middle touching the lateral margins but not the suture, the latter is likewise of aeneous colour and widened angulately opposite the posterior band, with which it is nearly connected at that place ; elytral epipleura?, underside and legs flavous, the tibiae streaked with black at the outer margin, mesosternal process short and straight. Hab. Yilcanota, Peru. (A single specimen.) In the Museum of the Stettin collection another specimen from Bolivia is contained, sent to m e for examination, which I cannot separate from this species, but the elytral band at the base is not dentate but concave at the anterior margin and is connected with the humeral spot, and the posterior band is reduced to a transverse spot not extending to either margin ; in other respects there are no differences of importance.
