• i. Chrysochroa simillima >|>. nov. 



<J 5 . Ch. similis Saiind. valde affinis, parum brcvior, abdomiue luteo-ochraceo. 

 dytris lata fascia mediana in margine laterali iiariiiu angustiore lutea oniatis. 



Long. 40 mm., elytr. 30, lat. 13. 



The median band of the elytra is narrower, as it nsually is in Ch. castelnaudi 

 Devr., and is anteriorly straight, ])()sterinrly somewhat ronnded ; in some specimens 

 of Ch. dmiU-t Saund. wliich 1 have examined, the elytra have also a broad median 

 band instead of two large patches, but this species is slenderer than simillima, 

 :ind its abdomen golden green, while it is pale ochreous in the new form, having 

 the sides of the first abdominal segment only golden green. The structnre of 

 the derm is alike in Ch. similis and Ch. simillima. The sides of the prothora.x 

 of the latter are bright fiery, the metasternum also fiery, and the legs bliT' with 

 the femora golden green when viewed from different sides.
