narrowly bordered at sides and apex, lateral margins widely 

 explanate. Elytra of same width at base as prothorax, shoulders 

 definitely angulate and obtuse, very convex, with highest point 

 in front of middle, irregularly punctate, epipleurae wide, hori- 

 zontal, rather abruptly narrowed before apex; elytra narrowly 

 bordered till near apex, the border then suddenly bent down and 

 continuous (though not visible from above) to apex. Intercoxal 

 process rather widely arched, prosternum compressed and saddle- 

 shaped at apex, conical behind, not carinate; mesosternal cavity 

 rounded; appendages yellow; tibiae with small spine at apex, 

 anterior tarsi of male with three basal joints much enlarged, 

 posterior tarsi with basal and apical joints of equal length (e±- 

 cluding claws), the other two joints short. Penis short, attached 

 to an arcuately widening lamella; female with a long protuberant 

 ovipositor. 



Cyclophanes variegatus, n.sp. 



Widely ovate, moderately nitid above, very nitid beneath; 

 head purple-green and gold, pronotum purple on margin, green 

 and purple on disc; elytra mostly dark green, with suture, border, 

 and shoulders coppery-purple; a purple band, wide at base, ex- 

 tending thence round the sides (but not reaching them) to apex, 

 where it meets the sutural band; epipleurae bright blue, variegated 

 with purple; underside iridescent purple, blue and gold, the 

 former colour predominant, the last on the epimera; antennae, 

 oral organs, legs, and tarsi yellow. 



Head rather closely punctate on front, more sparsely and 

 coarsely on epistoma, front widening behind, eyes separated by a 

 distance equal to the transverse diameter of one eye. Prothorax 

 2| x 7 mm., sinuate-emarginate at apex, the middle very slightly 

 advanced, the angles reaching to half the width of eyes, obtuse 

 and rounded, sides evenly and arcuately widening to base, the 

 latter bisinuate, central lobe wide, posterior angles rather widely 

 acute, not at all produced, foliate margins wide, a little upturned, 

 transversely wrinkled, separated from disc by a blue sulcus con- 

 taining an irregular row of punctures, disc nearly flat, finely 

 and closely punctate, a small basal fovea on each side of scutellum.
