As the antennae have a six-.jointetl ihib. the eyes are close together, and the 

 scutellar lobe not notched I have referred this speeies to Coenobius, despite the 

 shape of its prosternal ]irocess: its posterior end is outcurved inetead of slightly 

 incurved to tlie middle. From the preceding species (wliosie prosternal ))rocess is 

 normal) it differs in being metallic, in having the prothorax less gibl)ous in front, 

 with much smaller punctures, although the discal ones are sharply detined, and 

 elytral punctures distinctly narrower than the interstices instead of wider, as on 

 at Ica.st the males of that species. Six males before me are practically identical 

 in colours except tliat on two of them the median intei-stice on each elytron is 

 slightly paler than the adjacent ones; four females have the elytra (except the 

 shoulders and extreme l)ase) and legs entirely pale, and the prosternum. mesos- 

 ternum and two basal segments of abdomen obscurely reddish ; two of them also 

 have parts of the protliorax and of the muzzle obscurely reddish.
