vous antennae and legs, the head iinelj^ strigose and very mi- 

 nutely punctured at the vertex , the frontal tubercles strongly 

 raised, transverse, the dypeus also distinctly raised, much nar- 

 rower tlian in the preceding species, antennae slender, scarcely 

 extending to the middle of tlie elytra, pale fulvous, the third 

 joint much shorter than the fourth , thorax of the same shape 

 as the preceding species, sparingly and finely punctured, elytra 

 very convex and widened posteriorly, with a shallow transverse 

 depression below the base, strongly and very closely punctured 

 in very irregular rows, metallic green.

E. fulvicorms differs from E. aeneipennis, Baly in the colour 

 of the antennae and legs, the same differences separate it from 

 the preceding species as well as the shape of the fi-ontal tuber- 

 cles and that of the clypeus ; there seem to ])e only female 

 specimens before me ; the punctuation of the elytra is not nearly 

 so coarse as in that of E. Balyi and the interstices are not 

 so distinctly rugose ; a specimen from India contained in my 

 collection does not seem to differ in any way from the Suma- 

 tran form.

Of ovate, convex shape, the head impunctate, the frontal ele- 

 vations narrowly transverse, bounded behind by a deep trans- 

 verse groove , clypeus rather fiattened , eyes large , antennae 

 long, black, the basal joint dark brown, second joint small, third 

 one half longer, following joints elongate, jmbescent, thorax 

 twice as broad as long, the sides and the anterior margin per- 

 fectly straight, posterior margin slightly rounded, the angles 

 ol)lique, the anterior angles slightly thickened and oblique, the 

 surface extremely finely and obsoletely punctured, scutellum 

 broadly .triangular, elytra very finely but more distinctly punc- 

 tured than the thorax , legs slender , the extreme apex of the 

 tibiae piceous, the first joint of the ])osterior tarsi very long,
