326 Mr. A. Murray on Coleoptera from Old Calabar. 



gular ; there is a fovea at the base on each side of the dorsal 

 line, about midway between it and the angle ; the reflexed 

 margin at the base is broader than at the sides ; there is a 

 slight tendency to transverse wrinkling across the disk, more 

 particularly behind. Scutellum black and opake, and scarcely 

 reaching beyond the interspace between the thorax and elytra. 

 Elytra rather broader than thorax, with base nearly straight, 

 but sloping slightly from the shoulders (which are rather promi- 

 nent) inwards to the scutellum; their sides are nearly parallel; 

 they are shining, greenish, with a tinge of brassy on the 

 margins, becoming slightly coppery at the very apex, deeply 

 striate, and with faint indications of punctures at the bottom of 

 the strise ; the interstices impunctate, but under a powerful lens 

 they show fine transverse strigations, which give them a some- 

 what silky appearance. There are eight strise, besides the scu- 

 tellar stria and the outer marginal one, which, with that next it, 

 is the deepest. A number of deep punctures or fovese occur on 

 the marginal stria, or on the interstice between it and the next 

 one. A deep puncture also occurs on the inner side of the third 

 stria, not quite half-way from the base, and another on the 

 outer side of the second stria, almost at the apex. The apex 

 is sinuate-truncate. The upper side of the last abdominal seg- 

 ment is silky-opake, with a number of distinct punctures. Under- 

 side and legs shining brownish-black, or piceous, impunctate. 

 Legs moderate in length and slender ; tarsi slender, fourth joint 

 simple ; claws not pectinate.
