4. Acmseodera corrosa. 



Acmaodera corrosa, Thomson, Typi Buprestid. 1878, p. 58. 



A. Tcaupii " simillima, vero : prothoraee lateribus posticis minus dilatato, medio magis sparsim punctato ; 



elytris graimlatione omnino diversa, magis grossa, intricata, irregulari; abdominisque punctulatione 



multum magis lsevi, subito differt. 

 " Long. 12 mill., lat. 5 mill." 



Hab. Mexico. 



As this species is unknown to me, I give the original description in full. 



5. Acmseodera regularis. (Tab. II. fig. 2.) 



A. cuprince affinis, sed angustior, magis elongata et attenuata, nigro-cyanea ; thorace erebre punctato, elytris 



fortiter striato-punctatis. 

 Long. 6| lin. 



Hab. Costa Eica (Brit. Mm.). 



This species is near to A. cuprina, but is much more elongate, and has the elytra 

 regularly narrowed to the apex. The head is closely and rather finely punctured, and 

 has a short longitudinal ridge on the vertex. The thorax is like that of A. cwprina, 

 but the punctuation is perhaps a trifle less strong, and the lateral impression has a little 

 more the appearance of a round fovea. Elytra more as in A. flavomarginata, but still 

 more elongate. The suture is similar, but has a single line of fine punctures. The 

 punctures forming the rows are distinctly larger than in that species, and are generally 

 rather elongate, those in the first and second rows are somewhat distant from each 

 other ; the second interstice is a little raised at the base, and the fourth is very slightly 

 raised for its whole length ; all the interstices are sparingly punctured, each puncture 

 bearing a stiff black hair. Underside of the insect brassy; the prosternum strongly 

 punctured ; the sides of the abdomen with round shallow punctures, the middle 

 delicately punctured.
