nearly flat, without marking. Thorax nearly square, deeply 

 emarginate in front and narrowly margined, broadly margined on 



the sides, and nearly truncate at the base with a broad Blight 

 median lobe, the anterior angles are prominently produced but 

 rounded, the posterior square, there are two deep impressions on 

 the disk near the base. The elytra are a little broader than the 

 thorax, and three times the length, of a reddish coppery hue with 

 green reflections, and with 8 rows of large rather distant punctures 

 on each elytron. 

 Length, 8 lines.

 Like the last-named species, but the anterior angles of the 

 thorax not nearly so produced ; the thorax is also finely punctate, 

 without the impression near the base, and broader at the base 

 than at the apex. The elytra are proportionately narrower and 

 larger • the punctures are rather fine and the colour is more of a 

 purplish than reddish copper. 

 Length, 7 lines.

109. AMARYC4MUS INORNATUS. n. Sp. 



Black, subnitid. Head most minutely punctured, a transverse 

 line in front of the eyes, epistome margined in front and separated 

 from the iabrum. Thorax minutely obsoletely punctate, a slight 

 transverse depression close to the base at the median basal lobe. 

 The elytra have on each side nine distinct striae, the 1st (scutellar) 

 short and finely punctate, the others rather distinctly punctured, 

 the punctures becoming large on the lateral stria). The legs are 

 piceous red. 



Length, 5 lines.
