Cyrtosoma judith sp. n. (Fig. 4) Description - Winged (Fig. 4); head and pronotum black, elytra metallic bronze. Head very transverse, rectangular, short, shining, with characteristic, minute but relatively close punctation, especially on frons; clypeus very small, truncate anteriorly, frontoclypeal suture deep, somewhat arcuate; genae very prominent, convex; frons moderately impressed, forming shallow triangular depression immediately beyond clypeus, separated from the eyes by the genae; eyes large, more prominent than genae. Labrum and maxillary palps very well developed, yellowish. Pronotum transverse, short, much narrower than elytra, relatively flat both transversely and longitudinally; sides almost straight, parallel to small angulosity situated at anterior 1/3, then narrowed gradually up the apex; apex truncate, not narrower than basis; lateral and basal margins bordered, apex not bordered; basis scarcely sinuate at both sides; anterior angles obtuse, posterior angles rectangular; pronotal surface shining, almost completely smooth. Elytra ovate, elongate, acuminate posteriorly, more convex longitudinally than transversely; sides almost straight; striae well developed from basis to apex, with extremely minute punctation (visible with magnification lOx); interstriae smooth, shining, almost flat near suturai margin, gradually convex toward side; epipleura smooth and shining. Legs bronze, smooth; all tibiae somewhat bent toward apex, with a characteristic thorn-like tooth in distal 1/3 of inner margin. Ventral surface smooth and shining. Intercoxal process of the prosternum lanceolate, somewhat prominent posteriorly, excavated medially and longitudinally. Mesoventrite short, metaventrite long. Process of first abdominal ventrite between metacoxae well developed, triangular, distinctly minutely punctured. Length 8 mm. Type material - Holotype, sex unknown (HNHM): "Columbien (Fusagasuga) E. Pehlke S." The locality Fusagasuga (SW of Bogota) is in the Colombian Cordillera of the Andes, at almost 2000 m above sea level. Remarks - The thorn-shaped tooth on the inner margin of tibiae places this species near to Cyrtosoma egae MARCUZZI, 1991 described from Ega, Brasil. However, dorsal surface of the latter, is bicoloured, i. e. head, pronotum and elytral margin are red, the rest of elytra is black. Cyrtosoma mathanense sp. n. (Fig. 5) Description - Winged, shining (Fig. 5); head and pronotum black, elytra metallic bronze, ventral surface and legs brownish-black. Head transverse, almost rectangular, with eyes very prominent; clypeus small, frontoclypeal suture very fine; genae large, prominent, with rounded sides; clypeus and frons very minutely punctured. Antennae short, last antennomeres transverse. Pronotum transverse, short, smooth and shining, with minute, scarce punctation, a little stronger mesally; two oblique depressions present at lateral portions, not reaching median part of base; apex much narrower than base; sides straight in posterior half, anterior half arcuately narrowing; with large, blunt angulosity representing maximum width of pronotum; apex concave, base scarcely bisinuate; all margins bordered, except median part of anterior margin. Elytra ovate, more convex longitudinally
