14 PEOCEEDINGS OF THE NATIONAL MUSEUM vol. 82 



Remarks. — Described from three females (one type) collected at 

 the type locality during 1931 by G. B. Hinton. 



This species is allied to 'phaenico'pteii'us Waterhouse, but it differs 

 from that species in being uniformly greenish blue, while the head 

 is without golden pubescence in front, and the prosternal lobe is 

 rather deeply emarginate in front. 



AGRILU& PROXIMULUS, new species 



Male. — Elongate, slender, rather strongly flattened above, feebly 

 shining; head green, becoming brownish on the occiput; pronotum, 

 elytra, and beneath uniformly black. 



Head with the front rather wide, nearly flat, about equal in width 

 at top and bottom, lateral margins nearly parallel, vaguely expanded 

 at bottom, and vaguely, broadly, longitudinally depressed; surface 

 densely granulose, very coarsely, deeply, confluently punctate, and 

 nearly glabrous ; epistoma narrow between the antennae, not elevated, 

 but feebly, broadly, arcuately emarginate in front; antenna short, 

 serrate from the fifth joint, the outer joints slightly transverse and 

 compact; eyes large, oval, and equally rounded above and beneath. 



Pronotum slightly wider than long, wider at apex than at base, 

 and widest near apex; sides feebly, arcuately narrowed from apex 

 to posterior angles, which are rectangular; when viewed from the 

 side the marginal and submarginal carinae sinuate, narrowly sepa- 

 rated anteriorly but joined behind the middle; anterior margin 

 strongly sinuate, the median lobe strongly produced and broadly 

 rounded; base strongly, angularly emarginate at middle of each 

 elytron, with the median lobe moderately produced and broadly 

 rounded; disk strongly convex, feebly, transversely depressed on 

 basal half, the depression extending on each side along the lateral 

 margin but becoming narrower toward the apical angle, with a 

 vague, longitudinal, median depression indicated in front and behind 

 the middle, and with sharply defined, arcuate prehumeral carinae, 

 extending to middle of pronotum but not connected to the marginal 

 carinae; surface feebly, densely granulose, coarsely but not deeply 

 rugose, the rugae widely separated and more or less transverse on 

 the disk, finely, sparsely punctate between the rugae, and glabrous. 

 Scutellum transversely carinate, the surface finely, densely granulose. 



Elytra as wide as pronotum at base, subequal in width at base and 

 behind middle; sides parallel for a short distance behind base, 

 broadly, arcuately constricted in front of middle, broadly, arcu- 

 ately expanded behind middle, then, obliquely narrowed to the tips, 

 which are separately narrowly rounded and rather coarsely serrate; 

 sides of abdomen narrowly exposed above; disk feebly flattened 

 along sutural margins, which are strongly elevated posteriorly, and 

 with broad, deep, basal depressions; surface densely, finely imbri-
