115 Lagria azureipennis. n. Bp. 



Head and thorax metallic green, rather opaque, densely punctate, 

 and about the same length and width. Antennae, palpi and part of 

 the mouth reddish brown. The elytra are of a purplish sapphirine 

 blue, densely and sharply punctate. The pusbescence is thin and 

 short in this species, and unusually so for the genus. 



Length, 5 lines. 



116. Lagria palliata. n. sp. 



Black, opaque, convex. Thorax wider at the base than in front. 

 Elytra much ampliated from the shoulders, very convex, finely and 

 irregularly punctate, and with a band of silvery pubescence across 

 behind the shoulders. The tibiae are long, slender and rather 

 curved. 



Length, 7 lines. 



Family. CEDEMERID^E. 



117. Nacerdes rufipes. n. sp. 



Entirely blackish-brown, excepting the thighs and coxae, labium 

 and the first joint of antennae which are pale red, and the rest of 

 the antennae, palpi, tibiae and tarsi which are pale brown. A very 

 short ashen pubescence covers the whole insect. The first joint of 

 the antennae is very long, the second very short, the others long, 

 the 2nd, 3rd and 4th joints of the maxillary palpi are each as long 

 as the 1st joint of the antennae. Head finely and densely 

 punctate, eyes very large. Thorax much longer than the width, 

 constricted behind the middle and widened a little at the posterior 

 angles. Elytra broader than the thorax, elongate, parallel-sided, 

 very densely and finely punctate, pointed at the apex, and with 

 three fine costae on each side of the suture. 



Length, 5 lines.
