A specimen (sex ?), given me by its captor, differs from the 

 other blue species in its narrower and more depressed form, more 

 clearly defined striae, finer seriate punctures (finer than iji any 

 species except 0. Imvis Pasc), the prolonged and narrowed antero- 

 prothorax and brighter colour. Type in author's Coll. 



In the publication of my paper on " Revision of the Cypha- 

 leince" (These Proceedings, 1913), the description of one new 

 species, Platyphanes cyaneipennis, was inadvertently omitted, 

 though mentioned in the table of the genus. I, therefore, in- 

 clude its description below. 



Platyphanes cyaneipennis, n.sp. 



Elongate-parallel, moderately convex ; head and prothorax 

 black, elytra dark blue, nitid; underside and legs black, antennae 

 and tarsi brown, the last three joints of the former castaneous. 



Head evenly and clearly punctate, epistoma straight in front, 

 obliquely rounded at sides, forehead convex, eyes separated by a 

 space less than the transverse diameter of one eye. Antennse 

 with joints 3-7 gradually shorter and stouter, 3 little longer than 

 4, subcylindric, apical four joints rounded and transverse. Pro- 

 thorax rather flat, slightly wider at base than at apex, glabrous, 

 rather closely and finely punctate, with small, smooth spaces 

 near middle; disc without medial line or impression, arcuate- 

 emarginate at apex, bisinuate at base, anterior angles advanced, 

 less than 90°, but slightly blunted at apex, sides feebly rouyded, 

 a little incurved near base, posterior angles obtuse (about 100^), 

 lateral border raised, subsulcate within. Scutelhim triangular 

 with rounded sides, punctate. Elytra wider than prothorax at 

 base and three and three-quarter times as long, with narrow, 

 horizontal, lateral border becoming obsolete at apex, humeral 

 callus well marked; striate-punctate, each elytron with ten rows, 

 besides a short scutellary row of punctures somewhat irregular 

 in size and spacing, the sixth row consisting of smaller punctures 

 confusedly jumbled; intervals and stria? wide, the former smooth,
