This splendid insect varies considerably in its colouring, being 



sometimes purple, blue and green ; it is closely allied to the C. albo- 



t arsis of Fabricius. 



Sp. 59. Callichroma atripenne, Hope. Long. lin. 12J ; lat. lin. 4. 

 Atrum, antennis pedibusque rubris, thorace utrinque subspinoso,

 The above insect I have received from Cape Palmas and also from 



Sierra Leone.

 que spinosus, igne auroque sestuans. Elytra elongata interne viri- 

 dia lateribus violaceis. Corpus infra auratum, pedibus violaceis. 

 The above insect seems to unite in itself the Asiatic and African 



Callichromida ; it was received lately from Ashantee, and is one of 



the most beautiful insects found in Africa. 



Sp. 61. Promeces carbonarius. Long. lin. 9f ; lat. lin. 2. Niger, 

 antennis atro -violaceis, thorace fere rotundato utrinque subtuber- 

 culato, corpore infra concolori, pedibus rubris, femoribus quatuor

 It inhabits the vicinity of Sierra Leone.

 tennis purpurascentibus, capite lsete viridi, thorace cyaneo, dorso

 aureus, fortissime punctatus. Elytra in medio obscure viridia, su- 

 tura aureo-virescente lateribus externe violaceis. Corpus infra 

 auratum nitidum et punctatum, pedibus cyaneis. 

 This species was given me by Captain Downes, and taken by him 



at Fernando Po ; it is closely allied to the insect above described 



under the name of amabilis. 



Sp. 64. Sternodonta Palinii. Long. lin. 9 ; lat. lin. 2|. Viridis, an- 

 tennis atris, articulo l mo cseruleo. Capite fronte viridi posticeque
