bright reddish chestnut; the sutures distinct ; eyes black. Pro- 

 notum metalhc greenish bronze ; anterior margin truncate, the 

 anterior angles incrassate and sharp ; posterior margin very 

 obtusangular ; lateral margins straight, so that the whole pro- 

 uotum is pentagonal ; prozona somewhat tumid, as is also the 

 metazona, separated by an indistinct transverse impression ; in 

 the prozona the lateral impressions are distinct ; median suture 

 obsolete ; the surface of the pronotum faintly punctulate. Elytra 

 ample, dull reddish chestnut, fairly strongly and very densely 

 punctulate ; lateral carinas very short ; hinder border truncate. 

 Wings ample : the wings themselves are smoky black ; the scales 

 are metallic greenish bronze with sparse punctulations, the apices 

 paler. Legs long and slender, dark red, the joints darker ; tarsi 

 with a yellowish pubescence, which extends a short way up 

 the tibiae ; the tarsal segments are long and slender. Abdomen 

 elongate, cylindrical, greenish metallic bronze, coarsely punctulate ; 

 lateral tubercles very distinct. Last dorsal segment of (^ transverse, 

 punctulate, somewhat attenuate in the $ , transversely impressed, 

 rectangular ; the hinder border somewhat convex, tumid over the 

 insertion of the forceps. Sternum black, very finely punctulate. 

 Pygidium of c? short, transverse, smooth, with a short blunt tubercle 

 at each posterior angle ; each tubercle terminated by a sharp 

 point : in $ short, blunt. Forceps of d" with the branches remote 

 at the base, very long and slender, nearly straight ; trigonal at 

 the base itself ; the nearly obsolete keels covered with a row 

 of small tubercles ; inner margin denticulate ; halfway down there 

 is a small but sharp and distinct tooth, beyond which the branches 

 are unarmed, nearly straight, smooth, and incurved at the apex ; 

 the whole forceps are faintly punctulate ; in the $ the branches 

 are subcontiguous, excavate at the base itself on the inner 

 margin to admit the pygidium, then nearly straight, very gently 

 sinuate, elongate, unarmed, and smooth.

Syntyins in Bex'lin and Dohrn's collection ; actual type un-

This striking species is easy to recognize, apart from the 

 characteristic first antennal segment, by its elongate form, lone 

 slender forceps, and bronze-green metallic lustre.
