ART. 7. NEW BUPRESTID BEETLES FISHER. 7 



widely separated on the disk, becoming coarser and denser on the 

 greenish depressed areas and along lateral margin, each elytron 

 ornated with light bluish green areas, as follows: A short narrow 

 band along suture behind the scutellum, a longitudinal area on 

 humeral callus, a longitudinal area behind the anterior lobe extending 

 into a deep depression near base, a transverse oval depressed spot 

 on disk at middle, and a round depressed one at apical third, situated 

 a little closer to the lateral margin than the suture. Abdomen be- 

 neath coarsely and rather densely punctate, the punctures widely 

 separated on the median part, the surface becoming strongly longi- 

 tudinally rugose along lateral margin ; posterior margin of segments 

 smooth ; last segment arcuately emarginate at apex, with a strongly 

 elevated longitudinal carina at middle. Prosternum coarsely trans- 

 versely rugose, and rather strongly gibbose a little distance behind 

 the anterior margin. Femora robust, anterior femora with a long, 

 acute tooth on the outer edge at apical third. 



length, 19 mm. ; width, 9 mm. 



Tij'pe locality. — Iligan, Mindanao, Philippine Islands. 



Type.—Q^^i. No. 24669, U.S.N.M. 



Described from a single female from Iligan, Mindanao, Philippine 

 Islands, collected by Prof. C. F. Baker (Baker No. 11979). This 

 species is closely allied to C . cyanipennis Deyrolle, described from 

 Amboine. It differs, however, from that species in having the head 

 broadly concave in front and not longitudinally impressed, and epis- 

 toma deeply emarginate, the elytra not green at base, and also by 

 having each elytron marked with four greenish spots instead of three, 

 as in cyanipennis. 



BELIONOTA OBSCURIPENNIS, new species. 



Female. — Forrn robust, uniformly dark slate color above, feebly 

 cupreous on pronotum, with the head and sides of pronotum, fiery 

 red. Beneath dark greenish-blue with a strong violaceous reflection, 

 sides of prosternum and posterior four abdominal segments with a 

 fiery red spot on each side at the base ; femora and tibiae greenish- 

 blue, the anterior femora cupreous on the inner side. 



Head with the front triangular, feebly convex, coarsely and 

 sparsely punctate, the punctures becoming denser and more confluent 

 along the margin of the eyes, strongly, transversely strigose on the 

 anterior half; inner margin of antennal cavities feebly elevated; 

 occiput feebly, longitudinally carinate; vertex with a deep elongate 

 depression at middle; epistoma very feebly concave along anterior 

 margin. Pronotum feebly convex, nearly two times as wide as long, 

 distinctly narrower in front than behind; sides nearly parallel to 

 middle, then obliquely narrowed to anterior angles ; posterior angles 

 acute and protruding; anterior margin arcuately emarginate; pos- 

 terior margin deeply bisinuate, the median lobe truncate in front of
