450 MARTIN .lACOBY 



Although tliis species seems very clos(4y allied to P. C/iajiKm, 

 Baly it does not agree in several particulars with that species; 

 it is of broader and more robust shape, the antennae have the 

 basal three not five joints fulvous, tlie thorax is more closely 

 punctured and the legs are entirely bright fulvous ; there are 

 five specimens before me which show no differences in regard 

 to the -above })articulars. 



102. Psylliodes baligheensis, n. sp. — Below piceous, above 

 metallic blue or greenish, the 1)asal three joints of the antennae 

 and the four anterior legs (more or less) fulvous, thorax rather 

 finely and sul)remotely punctured, elytra finely punctate-striate, 

 the interstices fiat and extremely finely })unctured. 



Length 1 7^ line. 



Head with a few minute punctures, the eyes large, the frontal 

 elevations and the carina very small but distinct, labrum and 

 palpi nearly black, antennae not quite extending to the middle 

 of the elytra , black , the lower three joints fulvous , first and 

 second joint equal, third, slightly shorter, terminal joints thick- 

 ened , thorax about one half broader than long , distinctly nar- 

 rowed in front, the sides straight, the anterior angles obli(|ue , 

 posterior margin ratlier strongly rounded and produced at the 

 middle, the surface finely and not very closely punctured, elytra 

 finely punctate-striate, the interstices not costate, here and there 

 impressed with a few mimite punctures, posterior femora more 

 or less metallic blue, tinged witli fulvous, their tibiae of the 

 latter colour or piceous, without teeth along the upper edges, 

 abdomen ol)scure fulvous. 



Hah. Balighe, October and March. 



Of this species, two specimens are contained in this collection, 

 they seem to me to differ from their allies in tlie finer ami 

 more remote piuictuation of the thorax as well as of the elytra 

 which have also non-costate interstices at the sides, the locality 

 in which these specimens were obtained also differs from that 

 of others. P. Uali/i, Jac. of which numerous specimens are also 

 contained in the present collection , is generally metallic green 

 above, the thorax is very clos(dy and almost rugosely punctiu-ed
