98. Mr. KiRBY on Mr. W. S. MacLeay's 



Hardwickii. 1. C. 



Tab. III. Fig. 1. 



Long. Corp. lin. 4i-. 



Habitat in India a D.Hardwicke lectus? Ex Mus. D. Marsham. 



Corpus nitidum nigrum, supra violaceo et viridi tinctum, La- 

 hrum infra apicem utrinque punctis duobus impressis seti- 

 geris. Frons antice in medio canaliculatum. Elytra sub- 

 lacunosa striata: striis, praecipue lateralibus, punctatis. 

 Puncta insuper tria impressa inter striam a sutura secun- 

 dam et tertiam. Elytri latera viridi-aenea. 



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.
