ART. 7. NEW BUPRESTID BEETLES FISHER. 5 



CYALITHOIDES FULGIDA, new species. 



Elongate, subparallel, moderately convex; head green with a 

 golden tinge; pronotum and elytra of a shining reddish coppery 

 color; beneath golden green with a violaceous tinge; legs bluish- 

 green. 



Head deeply concave with a rather deep longitudinal groove reach- 

 ing from the occiput to a deep pit on the front; surface coarsely, 

 irregularly punctate, the punctures denser along the eyes; intervals 

 obsoletely rugose and clothed with a feAv inconspicuous hairs; an- 

 tennae reaching to near the posterior angles of pronotum, first three 

 joints greenish, folloM'ing joints piceous. Pronotum about one and 

 one-half times as wide as long, slightly narrower in front than be- 

 hind ; sides bisinuate and nearly parallel, the posterior angles rather 

 acute; anterior margin rather deeply arcuately emarginate with a 

 broadly rounded median lobe; base bisinuate with the median lobe 

 very broadly rounded, surface with a round shallow depression on 

 each side in front of posterior angles and a similar depression behind 

 them on the base, also a large, deep puncture in front of the scutel- 

 lum ; disk very sparsely and irregularly punctate with a few obsolete 

 punctures intermixed, the punctures becoming denser and mucli 

 coarser toward the sides, where they become somewhat confused; 

 intervals obsoletely rugose with a few inconspicuous recumbent hairs 

 at the sides. Scutellum smooth, two times as wide as long ; anterior 

 margin rounded; posterior margin nearly truncate. Elytra dis- 

 tinctly wider than pronotum at base, rounded at humeral angles, 

 nearly parallel to apical third, then strongly attenuate to the tips, 

 which are conjointly rounded and strongly serrate, the serration 

 extending up the lateral margins for one-third their length; base 

 feebly lobed; each elytron with four indistinct costae interrupted 

 by the depressions, which are arranged as follows : A shallow trans- 

 verse one along base, a shallow one at the humeral angle, a round 

 shallow one behind the humerus between the third and fourth costae, a 

 large round one slightly behind the post-humeral depression between 

 the jQrst and third costae, and a larger, transversely oblique one just 

 behind the middle and situated between the first and fourth costae ; 

 surface finely, sparsely, and irregularly punctate, the punctures be- 

 coming denser in the depressed spaces; intervals feebly rugose and 

 obsoletely pubescent. Abdomen beneath sparsely, irregularly punc- 

 tate, the punctures denser toward the sides and base of segments, 

 sparsely clothed with inconspicuous recumbent hairs; first segment 

 feebly flattened at middle; last segment acutely rounded at apex. 

 Prosternum transversely rugose in front; prosternal process flat, 

 sparsely punctate, with the intervals obsoletely granulated. Legs
