Habitat in India a D. Hardvvicke lectus ? Ex Mus. D. Mar- 

 sham. 



Corpus nitidum nigrum, supra violaceo et viridi tinctum. Xa- 

 brum infra apicem utrinque punctis duobus impressis setigeris. 

 Froiis antice in medio canaliculatum. Elytra sublacunosa 

 striata: striis, pra^cipue lateralibus, punctatis. Puncta insuper 

 tria impressa inter striam a sutura secundam et tertiam. Elytri 

 latera viridi-ajnea. 



The individual specimen here described being transfixed by 

 the same peculiar pin which Major-General Hardvvicke 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 

 genus in the rich collection of insects brought by ]3r. Ilorsfield 

 n'om Java.
