52 DESCRIPTION OF INSECTS 



Feet piceous. 



Remarkable by the very conspicuous elytral series of 

 dilated punctures, Mr. Marshal describes this species as a 

 native of Great Britain. 



30. F. ^nutans green, polished, beneath black ; elytra cu- 

 preous ; feet testaceous at base. 



Length seven-twentieths of an inch. 



Head green, beneath black ; antennae, labium, and palpi 

 black. 



Thorax impunctured, green, rather narrower than the elytra, 

 broadest in the middle, regularly arquated each side to the 

 base, posterior angles none, dorsal and basal lines d'stinct, 

 the latter dilated, orbicular, base not wider than the pe- 

 tiole. 



Elytra dark cupreous slightly tinted with greenish, strise im- 

 punctured, interstitial lines nearly flat. 



Pectus and postpectus black. 



Feet piceous ; thighs testaceous at base. 



Verier black. 



Closely approximated to cupripennis, but may be distin- 

 guished by the colour of the under part of the body, base 

 of the thighs, and elytra. The specimen I bought several 

 years ago in New York. 



31. F. ^cincticollis piceous-black, beneath somewhat paler; 

 thorax margined; elytral stride impunctured. 



Le7igth nine-twentieths of an inch.

 piceous. 



Antefinae and palpi rufous. 



Thorax narrower than the elytra, contracted behind, mar- 

 gined, margin rufous, somewhat recurved, edge excurved 

 near the posterior angles, which are obtuse.
