Physonychis Dohrni sp. n. 



Testaceoiis, the apical joints of the antennae black, head 

 and thorax rugosely pimctured, scutelkim testaceoiis, elytra 

 metalhc green, closely punctuied and transversely wiinkled. 



Length 71/2 mill. 



Closely allied to P. üiridipennis üalm. and P. nigri- 

 frons Weise biit 1 think specifically distinet, it \\ill only he 

 necessary to point out the diflerences, the head in the pvesent 

 species is entirely testaceous, not black at the veitex, the frontal 

 tubercles are large and divergent, the antennae have slender 

 joints and the fourth Joint is distinctly longer than the third 

 (in P. viridipennis these joints are nearly cqual and shorter) 

 Ihe thorax is nearly rugosely and niuch niore strongly punctured 

 and the scutellum as well as the elytral epipleurae are testacrous, 

 not black and metallic blue respectively.

 like the thorax. 



Length 9 mill. 



Head with the vertex rather closely punctured, the frontal 

 elevations fairly broad as well as the carina, antennae robust, 

 black, the lower three joints fulvous, (he fouith and following 

 joints equal, shorter than the third Joint; thorax about one half 

 broader than long, the sides very feebly rounded, narrowed 

 towards the apex, rather broadly flatttened, the anterior angles 

 thickened, the posterior ones acute, the disc rather closely and
