472 A SliCOND NOTE ON THE CARENIDES, 



Shining ; head black with a faint green reflection on guise, 

 a small green spot on each side below supra-orbital puncture, 

 suborbital channel green ; prothorax veiy widely margined 

 with green, the disc and middle of anterior margin black ; 

 undersurface black with green reflections on inflexed margin, 

 episterna and anterior part of prosternum ; elytra including 

 inflexed margins green, a narrow part of the disc on each side 

 of the suture blackish-blue ; legs and body black ; mesosternal 

 episterna green. Head large, subquadrate (4*75 x 7 mm.), 

 smooth ; frontal sulci nearly parallel, diverging lightly back- 

 wards, turning sharply out in front in a well-marked linear 

 course; pre-ocular sulcus well-marked ; pre-ocular process small ; 

 eyes deeply set in orbit, not prominent. Antennae slender, 

 hardly compressed, attenuate to apex ; second joint much shorter 

 than third ; apical narrow, elongate. Prothorax transverse, a 

 little broader than elytra (5-8 x 9*5 mm.), subconvex ; sides lightly 

 rounded, narrowed in front ; anterior margin very lightly emargi- 

 nate, the angles strongly and roundly advanced ; posterior angles 

 rounded ; base rounded, lobate, the sinuosity on each side of the 

 lobe strongly marked, lobe narrow, lightly sinuate in middle ; 

 border widely reflexed, hardly wider at posterior angles, thick, and 

 declivous in front, on basal lobe ; marginal channel wide, not 

 crossing the basal lobe; median line strongly impressed, linear; a 

 strongly marked, arched, transverse line connecting the marginal 

 channel of each side, and defining the basal lobe ; two marginal 

 jiunctures on each side, the posterior placed as usual, the anterior 

 about mid-way between it and the anterior angle. Elytra barely 

 as wide as })rothorax, widely oval (13 x 9-3 mm.), sti'ongly and 

 evenly rounded on sides, convex ; base truncate, declivous ; margin 

 wide, particularly on each side of apex ; border strongly reflexed, 

 obliquely declivous on base, thickened at each humeral angle to 

 form a short, strong, out-turned prominence ; a strong puncture 

 on apical third of each elytron, about mid-way between margin 

 and suture ; basal declivity finely and irregularly punctate ; a row 

 of closely-placed, strong punctures along lateral margins ; suture 

 forming a deeply-marked channel ; inflexed margin very wide.
