STRONGYLIUM. 359 
Elytra lightly striate-punctate ; eyes small; upper surface shining, greenish-ceneous, 
the elytra reddish-brown with a translucent greenish-eneous tinge. 
30. Strongylium viriditinctum. (Tab. XVI. fig. 4, 2.) 
Elongate, subcylindrical, greenish-eeneous, moderately shining. Head coarsely and rather sparingly punctured, 
deeply longitudinally impressed between the eyes, much suffused with cupreous, the eyes small and 
somewhat widely separated; antenne (9) rather stout, joint 4 about as long as, but stouter than, 3, 
subtriangular, joints 5-10 about equal in length and breadth, wider than 4, 9 and 10 almost as wide at 
the base as at the apex, all longer than broad, 11 oblong ovate, 1-4 more or less seneous, the rest dull 
black ; prothorax subcylindrical, nearly as long as broad, subquadrate, the sides immarginate, very slightly 
narrowing and rounded in front, and sinuate behind immediately before the acute outwardly-directed 
hind angles, the anterior angles rounded, the base slightly sinuate, and very deeply grooved within 
between the spaces usually occupied by the foves, the latter not defined, the apex straight, the apical 
margin very deeply grooved within in the middle, the disc unimpressed, the surface sparingly and rather 
coarsely and deeply punctured, greenish-eneous; scutellum subtriangular, smooth, eneous; elytra long, 
parallel to beyond the middle, moderately convex, finely striate-punctate, the punctures approximate, 
and becoming finer and shallower towards the apex, the interstices flat, feebly convex at the apex, and 
sparingly but quite distinctly punctured, the surface (including the epipleure) reddish-brown, with a 
translucent greenish-seneous tinge; beneath glabrous, very shining, greenish-eeneous, very sparingly and 
finely punctured, the sides of the metasternum and the flanks of the prothorax with scattered coarse 
impressions ; legs comparatively rather short, entirely greenish-zneous, the femora sparingly and some- 
what coarsely, the tibise more closely, punctured, the first joint of the posterior tarsi shorter than the 
apical joint. 
Length 14} millim.; breadth 5 millim. ( 2.) 
Hab. Guatemata, Zapote 2500 feet (Champion). 
One example. This species closely resembles S. eminens: compared with the corre- 
sponding sex of that insect it differs in having the epistoma more coarsely and the 
vertex more sparingly punctured, the eyes very much smaller and widely separated, the 
thorax less strongly transverse and more finely punctured, the elytra comparatively 
much shorter, with the rows of punctures finer and placed upon almost obsolete strie, 
and the interstices flat (rather convex in S. eminens), and also in its smaller size. 
Elytra very long, punctate-striate, the punctures subapproaimate, the interstices slightly 
conver ; eyes large ; upper surface bright greenish-eneous, the elytra reddish-brown 
with a translucent greenish-eneous tinge ; size large.
