98 Mr. Kirpy on Mr. W. S. MacLeay's 
Hardwickü. 1. C. 
Las. HT. Fig. 1. 
Long. corp. lin. 44. 
Habitat in India a D. Hardwicke lectus? Ex Mus. D. Marsham. 
Corpus nitidum nigrum, supra violaceo et viridi tinctum. La- 
brum infra apicem utrinque punctis duobus impressis seti- 
geris. Frons antice in medio canaliculatum. Elytra sub- 
lacunosa striata: stris, præcipue lateralibus, punctatis. 
Puncta insuper tria impressa inter striam a sutura secun- 
dam et tertiam. — Elytri latera viridi-ænea. 
The individual specimen here described being transfixed by 
the same peculiar pin which Major-General Hardwicke used for 
all the small insects that he collected in India, (many of which he 
gave to the late Mr. Marsham, at whose sale I purchased it,) I 
think I am warranted in my conjecture that this was one of them. 
I have therefore named it after this indefatigable collector and 
observer of insects, who merits richly to be so distinguished. 
There are two or three species apparently belonging to this ge- 
nus in the rich collection of insects brought by Dr. Horsfield 
from Java.
