nely and very closely punctured; elytra remotely punctured, 

 punctate-striate below the middle. 



Length 3-3 V2 lii^^s. 



Head strongly but not very closely punctured, the vertex 

 and the sides longitudinally strigose; upper portion of the epi- 

 stomc transversely rugose-punctate, its middle terminating in a 

 point, surface strongly but remotely punctured ; labrum obscure 

 fulvous; six basal joints, with the exception of the first which 

 is black, dark fulvous, the rest black; thorax very transverse, 

 the sides rounded, surface rather closely and finely punctured 

 throughout, the punctuation not stronger at the sides than that 

 at the disk ; scutellum with a few fine punctures ; elytra with a 

 narrow transverse depression below the base extending nearly 

 to the suture, finely and rather distantly punctate-striate the 

 punctures below the shoulders much larger and more deeply 

 impressed and the interstices at the same place very slightly 

 transversely wrinkled; from the middle to the apex the punc- 

 tures form regular and remotely placed striae; at the extreme 

 apex a few more closely placed punctures are seen ; femora and 

 part of the breast with a more or less distinct metallic bluish 

 gloss, the rest of the underside nearly black. 



Hab. New Guinea, Fly River (L. M. D'Albertis). 



This species of which a uniformly coloured blue specimen 

 and another of a bright greenish cupreous colour is before me, 

 may be recognized by the uniform and finely punctured thorax, 

 the fulvous basal joints of the antennae and the finely punc- 

 tured and punctate-striate elytra which at their posterior portion 

 are much more distantly and finely punctured than any of the 

 species whith wich I am acquainted. ^ 



4. JVotiiiia, celelbonsis, n. sp. 



Broadly ovate, black below. Legs and antennae fulvous, 

 above bluish or dark violaceous. Thorax evenly and distinctly 

 punctured. Elytra regularly punctate-striate, the striae very 

 obsolete near the apex.
