wider than the thorax, parallel, gradually narrowing to apex from a little behind the 

 middle, margin serrulate, apices obtuse ; disk feebly convex, the first costa elevated, 

 obsolete in basal third, second costa interrupted by a rounded impression, which is 

 more densely punctured than the rest of elytra, third costa interrupted by a fovea a 

 little behind the middle, between the first and second costa, at about apical fourth is 

 a smooth, densely and more finely punctured spot ; basal fovese deeply impressed ; 

 surface on the disk sparsely punctured, very densely at sides. Underside bright 

 cupreous, abdomen moderately densely punctate, with elongate punctures, each seg- 

 ment on each side with a smooth callosity, last segment serrulate, truncate emarginate 

 at apex, with the angles acutely prolonged. Last dorsal sparsely to coarsely punc- 

 tured, blue, bronze around the triangular emargination. Anterior femora with a 

 moderate tooth, serrulate on its distal margin ; anterior tibia; arcuate, slightly dilated 

 at apex with a sharp tooth in front of dilatation, middle tibiae arcuate, hind tibiae 

 slightly sinuate. Length 1 1. 25 mm. 



San Felipe, Lower California, one male from Mr. G. Beyer in the 

 Museum of the Brooklyn Institute. 



Chrysobothris subapaca, new species. 



Elongate, slightly depressed, color green, each elytron with an elongate irregular 

 purple spot at apical third, surface subopaque, beneath green shining. Antennae 

 aeneo-cupreous, third joint a little longer than fourth, front slightly convex, with a 

 faint chevron ; clypeus triangularly emarginate ; thorax twice as wide as long, arcuate 

 at sides, disk convex, a moderately deeply impressed line at middle, a vague median 

 impression at sides near margin, somewhat coarsely punctured, more densely at sides. 

 Elytra a little wider than the thorax, parallel, narrowing to apex at apical third, 

 margin feebly serrulate, apices obtuse ; disk very slightly depressed, costae obliterated 

 in front, faintly indicated behind, basal foveae faintly indicated, between the first and 

 second costae at middle a faint longitudinal impression, surface uneven, finely rugose, 

 punctuation finer than that of thorax, becoming obsolete towards apex. Body 

 beneath transversely confluently punctured, last segment with feeble serrulate margin, 

 prosternum lobed in front ; anterior femur with a moderately large tooth, serrulate 

 externally. 



Tulare Co., California, one male in collection Dietz. 



Alale. — Prosternum distinctly depressed at middle, densely punctate, sparsely 

 pubescent, anterior tibiae nearly straight, with a very feeble dilatation at tip; middle 

 tibiae nearly straight, dilated at tip, posterior tibiae straight ; last ventral segment 

 semicircularly emarginate ; last dorsal truncate at tip, somewhat coarsely punctate. 

 Length, 7 mm. 



Although a little more depressed than cyanella Horn it is best 

 placed near that species from which it differs by the opaque surface, 

 the entirely different surface sculpture and the two irregular elongate 

 purple spots at apex of elytra, which are perhaps as variable as in 

 iucana and pufpureoplagiata.
