This species is allied to Eutoma maynificum; Macl., which it 

 somewhat resembles in general appearance, and which has three 

 marginal punctures on each side of the prothorax. I have not 

 been able to compare it with E. magni/icurn, but have no doubt 

 it is thoroughly distinct from that species. It shows affinities to 

 C'onopteruni, Neocarenton and Eutoma ; the upturned humeral 

 angles prevent its being placed in Coiiopteritm; it might be placed 

 in either Neocarenum or Eutoma, and good reasons given for either 

 assignment, but I prefer to put it in the genus Carennm taken in 

 a wide sense. 



Eutoma gratiosum, n.sp. 



Elongate, parallel, Itevigate ; head large, convex ; prothorax 

 convex, deeply canaliculate, widely lobate at base; elytra twice 

 as long as wide, disc impunctate, humeral angles widel}"^ upturned, 

 a single large puncture at each humeral angle above basal 

 declivity; anterior tibife bidentate. Shining; head black, purple 

 posteriorly, gulfe purple; prothorax purple-black, widely margined 

 with green; elytra bright metallic purple on disc, green towards 

 sides, lateral borders piceous; under surface and legs piceous. 



Head smooth, large (2-8 x 3-3 mm.), convex, roundly declivous 

 to anterior margin, transversely impressed near base, narrowed 

 behind eyes ; frontal sulci strongly impressed, sinuous, short 

 (extending backwards to level with middle of eyes), divergent, 

 anterior part of course very lightly impressed ; clypeus with 

 intermediate angles obtuse, hardly advanced, median sinus small, 

 not deep, finely bidentate; labrum small; supra-antennal plates 

 large (hardly less prominent than eyes), not longitudinall}^ sulcate; 

 eyes deeply embedded in head, not prominent; posterior part of 

 orbits large, as prominent as eyes; two supraorbital punctures 

 on each side; suborbital channel divided by a long, strong, sharply 

 defined ridge ; a deep narrow oblique fossula on each side of 

 submentum. Antennte incrassate, joints 5-11 wide, greatly com- 

 pressed. Prothorax as broad as long (3-5 x 3-5 mm.), convex, not 

 declivous to base in middle, truncate at apex; anterior angles not
