96 SUBFAMILIES CYPBALE1NM AND CNODALONIN^S, 



Three specimens, all, I think, g, in ray collection, in colour 

 and general appearance resemble Prophanes Mastersi Pasc, but 

 are without the spinose prothorax and elytra. The bright yellow 

 appendages, more rounded form of both prothorax and elytra, 

 the antennal and tarsal structure, the absence of the abdominal 

 excavation, and its greatly enlarged anterior tarsi, together with 

 the strongly sculptured margins of prothorax, mark this species 

 as an ally of Cyclophanes variegatus. Type in the author's Coll. 



Cyclophanes splendens, n.sp. 



Widely ovate, glabrous, very nitid; head purple and gold, pro- 

 notum metallic purple on disc, bronze at sides, a line of blue on 

 inside of margins, elytra metallic green with purple reflections 

 at suture and sides, whole underside iridescent and variegated 

 (purple, green, and blue), legs, tarsi, and antennae yellow (femora 

 greenish). 



Head : labrum very prominent and rectangular, epistoma trun- 

 cate, slightly rounded at sides, a depression within each corner, 

 defining suture straight and deep; eyes large, separated by a 

 distance equal to the apparent transverse diameter of an eye; 

 closely, not coarsely punctate; antennae extending beyond the 

 base of prothorax, joint 3 about as long as 4-5 combined, 7-11 

 gradually enlarging, 8-10 ovate, not wider than long, 1 1 longer 

 and wider than 10. Prothorax 2| x 6 mm., length measured in 

 the middle, width at base, arcuate-emarginate at apex, anterior 

 angles reaching the middle of the eye, moderately acute, sides 

 arcuately and strongly widened to base, posterior angles acute 

 but slightly blunted, base bisinuate, extreme border narrowly 

 raised on sides and apex, explanate margins wide, concave, trans- 

 versely wrinkled and punctate, separated from disc by a blue 

 channel containing a row of punctures, disc nearly smooth, middle 

 line vaguely suggested at base. Scutellum widely triangular, 

 smooth. Elytra slightly wider than prothorax at base, ovate 

 and convex, a little produced at apex, humeral angle distinct and 

 obtuse, lateral border and channel narrow, the former abruptly 

 bent down and ending before the apex; whole surface (except 

 the apical declivity) finely, regularly and rather closely punctate,
