10 THE TRIBE QNOIDERINI
procoxae with a more feeble tubercle; profcmora gradually clavate, not at all rugose ;
metatibiae not modified ; fifth sternite twice as long as fourth, apex feebly emarginate,
with a shaIlow, triangular imprc;:;siollj antennae not quite as long as body.
LENGTH 16-21 mm.; width 6.5-8.5 mm.
Holotype.-Malej Abitagua, Oriente, Ecuador, June 20, 1041 ;
(WID. C. MacIntyre) j [L. Lacey].
Allotype.-Female; topotypic j November 11, 1939 ; (VVill. C.
MacIntyre) ; [L. Lacey].
Pamtypes.-Female j Rio Huagon, Yacu, Oriente, Ecuador;
May 8, 1941; ('Wm. C. MacIntyre) ; [L. Lacey]. Male; Quito, Ecuador;
[A.M.N.H.].
Variation.-A male from Quito, Ecuador, in the A.M.N.H. has
a very small, elongate, orange-ocbraceous macula on each elytron
at apical quarter of disk, in addition to the two others in the typical
specimens. The only other differences are in the sparser tubercles
on the basal balf of elytra and the pubescence uniformly dark
brown beneath. As this migllt prove to be simply an aberration no
name is proposed here for it.

Jamerria lineata Fisher, Proe. U. S. Nat. Mus., LXVIII, art. 22, 1£)20, p. 14.
Robust and oblong-triangular, uniformly piceous above and
beneath and clothed with och1'aceons pubescence ; mandibles black ;
palpi black, tips reddish.
Hcad very elongatc, narrowly triangular and flat in front, deeply sngularly
depressed between the antennal tubercles, which are ruther strongly elevated and
nearly contiguous, the surface coarsely rugose, with a few, short, ochmceous hairs
between the rugae; eyes feebly convex, deeply emarginate, and narrowly separated
from each other 011 the top, lower lobes nearly qUfLdrate, upper ones very small and
narrow. Antennae .m ther robust, longer than body, reddish-black, densely clothed
with very short, recumbent, brownish pubescence and densely ciliate beneath with
long, erect bairs ; scape rather long, subcylindrical, extending to middle of pronotum
; third segment slightly longer than first and fourth, fifth to eighth subequal
in length.
Pronotum nearly twice as wide as long, apex slightly narrower than base;
sides tapering and subtuberculate; surface uneven, coarsely rugose, sparsely clothed
with short, recumbent, brownish-yellow pubescence, anterior and posterior margins
with .'\ fringe of densely placed, long, recumben.t, orange-yellow hairs. Scutellum
large, triangular, broadly truncate behind, and rather densely pubescent, with a
nurrow glabrous line medially.
Elytra at base nearly one-half wider than. pronotum, two times as long as
wide; humeri strongly developed, shining from before to apex, as in certain
