rather densely punctate, feebly rugose, and sparsely clothed with 

 short cinereous pubescence, the hairs more erect and rigid on the 

 tibiae. 



Length, 17 mm ; width, 6 mm. 



Type locality. — Sandakan, Borneo. 



Type.—Coi. No. 24659, U.S.N.M. 



Described from a single specimen from Sandakan, Borneo, col- 

 lected by Prof. C. F. Baker (Baker No. 10357). 



This species superficially resembles some of the copper-colored 

 specimens of Chrysodema smaragdula Olivier, but can be distin- 

 guished from any species of that genus by the absence of the longi- 

 tudinal carina on disk of pronotum and by its parallel and shorter 

 form. 



CHRYSOBOTHRIS GLORIOSA, new species. 



Female. — Large and robust, moderately convex, head green, prono- 

 tum greenish blue with the posterior angles of a reddish green color, 

 elytra cyaneous, each elytron ornated with four light bluish-green 

 areas ; beneath bright green, glabrous. 



Head with the front strongly triangular; occiput very narrow, 

 longitudinally carinate, and coarsely, rather densely punctate; 

 vertex coarsely, densely punctate, and strongly projecting over the 

 front, the anterior margin of projection broadly concave; front 

 broadly and deeply concave, the concavity extending beneath the 

 projecting vertex, coarsely concentrically rugose in the concavity, 

 coarsely, densely punctate toward the sides, the punctures becoming 

 confluent along the eyes; eyes large and nearly contiguous on the 

 occiput; epistoma hirge, broadly, and very deeply, arcuately emar- 

 ginate in front ; antennae greenish, becoming piceous on the serrated 

 joints. Pronotum strongly transverse and moderately convex, about 

 two and one-half times as wide as long, narrower in front than 

 behind when viewed from above, narrowest at the middle; lateral 

 margin strongly sinuate, arcuately rounded anteriorly and posteriorly 

 to the middle, which is arcuately concave, anterior angles bent down- 

 ward ; posterior angles rather acute ; anterior margin nearly truncate ; 

 posterior margin very deeply bisinuate with a large median lobe 

 feebly arcuately concave in front of scutellum ; surface coarsely and 

 deeply punctate and somewhat transversely rugose toward posterior 

 angles, the punctures widely separated on the disk, becoming coarser 

 and denser toward the sides; a very vague depression on each side 

 in front of elytral lobe. Scutellum large, very acutely pointed pos- 

 teriorly ; surface smooth. Elytra distinctly wider than the pronotum 

 at base, rounded at humeral angles, then gradually arcuately attenu- 

 ate to the tips, which terminate in a short spine; lateral margin 

 coarsely serrate to near the humeral angles; base strongly lobed; 

 surface without striae, coarsely and deeply punctate, the punctures
