Variations.-Specimens from Ecuador and Colombia frequently
have the fulvous elytral maculae very distinct, but as this character
occurs also, although less frequently, in specimens frm all
other localities, it is not separated here as a distinct form or variety.
fl'he name gemmata could be applied to this variation, if
in the future it is felt necessary to distinguish it.
Two females, one with just a Brazil label, from the Deyrolle
collection at M.C.Z., the other one from Upper Rocana, near Para,
Brazil, in C.M., have a broad fulvous stripe behind each ey, a
cI)aracter completely lacking in all other specimens.

Closely allied to glol)ifem but lacks the gibbosities on elytra,
elytral granules are much smaller, more numerous, and not arranged
in rows, and the pronotal 1ateral tubercles are less distinct.
