This specimen agrees fully with the original description, except 

 that the pronotum is two millimeters in length, one millimeter less 

 than the pronotal length given by Giglio-Tos.^

In the present specimen the head is without pale markings; the 

 pronotum, in addition to two pale maculations meso-laterad at 

 the caudal margin, has the medio-longitudinal sulcus pale from 

 the transverse sulcus over half the distance to the caudal margin. 



Though this species is remarkable in being strikingly metallic 

 in general coloration, it is by no means as brilliant as other species 

 of the genus.

This and the following species so closely resemble species of the 

 American genus Gonatista, that we believe they will be found to 

 have very similar habits, living on the trunks of trees, about which 

 they run with amazing rapidity.

Giglio-Tos states that his horneana is very similar to burmeisteri 

 and gives certain features of coloration as the important differential 

 characters. The first of these, costal area of female tegmina as 

 transparent as in male, is apparently of no value, this being clearly 

 shown by Haan's figures to be true for burmeisteri. In the other 



* This may be due to a typographical error. The genus is described by that 

 author as having the pronotum broader than long, but the dimensions for bor- 

 neona are given as length 3, width 2.5 mm.
