concave behind the anterior margin, coarsely, densely punctate, and 

 sparsely clothed with moderately long recumbent cinereous hairs to- 

 v>^ard the sides ; prosternal process flat, strongly expanded behind the

ACTENODES MANNI, new species 



Form narrowly elongate, feebly convex, attenuate in front, and 

 more acuminate posteriorly, glabrous and rather shining; head 

 and pronotum olive green, with a strong purplish reflection; elytra 

 nigro-purpureous, with a distinct olive green tinge, and each ely- 

 tron ornated with three green spots, a broad transverse one at base, 

 extending narrowly along margin to behind the humerus, an elon- 

 gate oblique one along lateral margin at apical third, and a rather 

 large irregular one on disk in front of middle and situated obliquely 

 behind the marginal spot, the spots not depressed except the basal 

 one; beneath aeneo-cupreous, with a feeble purplish tinge; tarsi 

 cyaneous. 



Head feebly convex, with the front strongly triangular, and the 

 sides strongly obliquely narrowed toward the top, with a broad, 

 moderately deep concave depression on the vertex, which is lon- 

 gitudinall}^, narrowly and obsoletely impressed to the epistoma; 

 occiput with a narrow longitudinal carina; surface coarsely and 

 densely punctate, the punctures separated on the vertex and occi- 

 put, but becoming confluent and transversely rugose toward the 

 epistoma, and each puncture with a small pitlike depression at the 

 center, the intervals smooth and shining; eyes large, moderately 

 convex, nearly contiguous on the occiput, where they are separated 

 from each other by about one-sixth the distance between the an-
