to apex, which is broadly rounded. Femora not armed with teeth 

 on the inner margin. Tibiae slender, the anterior pair feebly arcu- 

 ate and slightly mucronate at the apex. Posterior tarsi about three- 

 fourths as long as the tibiae, and the first joint about as long as 

 the following three joints united. Tarsal claws similar on all feet, 

 cleft at middle, the inner tooth broad, very short, and not turned 

 inward.

AGRILUS BENIENSIS, new species 



Male. — Form moderately large, rather slender, strongly acuminate 

 posteriorly, and subopaque; head bluish-green on the front, becom- 

 ing aeneo-brunneus on the occiput; pronotum aeneo-brunneus, the 

 aeneous tinge becoming more distinct toward the sides; elytra brun- 

 neo-purpureous, with feeble aeneous reflection, and each elytron 

 ornated with a narrow pale yellow pubescent vitta, extending along 

 suture from basal depression to apex. Beneath aeneo-cupreous, 

 more shining than above; legs more or less greenish, and the tarsi 

 piceous; antennae with the basal joints aeneous, and the exterior 

 ones piceous above, and reddish-cupreous beneath. 



Head with the frontnarrow,nearly fiat, the sides strongly arcuately 

 expanded at vertex, and with an obsolete longitudinal depression 

 extending from the occiput to epistoma; surface densely, coarsely 

 granulose, and coarsely scabrous on the front, becoming coarsely 

 longitudinally rugose on the occiput, and very sparsely clothed with 

 cinereous hairs behind the epistoma; epistoma narrow between the 

 antennae, and deeply arcuately emarginate in front ; antennae rather 

 long, extending slightly beyond middle of pronotum and serrate 

 from the fourth joint. Pronotum only slightly wider than long, 

 distinctly wider in front than behind, and widest near apical angles ; 

 sides arcuately narrowed from anterior angles to the base, where 

 they are feebly expanded, when viewed from the side the two 

 margins are rather strongly sinuate, separated anteriorly, and con- 

 nected to each other at posterior angle; anterior margin deeply 

 arcuately emarginate, with a broadly rounded median lobe; base 

 strongly emarginate at middle of each elytron, with a broadly 

 rounded median lobe, which is broadly truncate in front of scutel- 

 lum; disk moderately convex, with two round, rather deep median 

 depressions, and on each side with rather deep depression extending 

 from the base along inner side of lateral carina to the apical angle.
