On examining the specimens of C. ojiacipennis in the Cliandoir 

 collection, which I was enabled to do through the kindness of M. Rene 

 Oberthiir, I found that 6 and $ were alike : the inference which I 

 drew in the notice quoted above was an erroneous one, and I therefore 

 withdraw it. I have already pointed out the differences between the 

 new species and C. opacipennis, and given the localities known to nie. 

 The type is in the British Museum. 



Ghlaenius anilamanensis, n. .«;p. 



Length 17-19 mm. ; width Q-'lb-l mm. Black ; head metallic green^ 

 coppery on disc ; pvothorax black with faint purplish reflection, side margins 

 broadly metallic green, marginal chaimel of eh'tra faintly green ; legs, 

 antennae, and palpi reddish. Upper surface shortly and rather sparsely 

 pubescent. Head (2'75 mm. wide) convex, shining, rather closely punctate 

 on vertex and sides, front finely rugose, striate near eyes, which are flat, neck 

 wide and smooth ; joint 3 of antennae compressed, jiearly half as long again 

 as 4; labium emarginate. Prothorax transverse (3"7ox4'o0 mm.), sliiny, 

 moderately convex, sides evenly romided, a little more contracted in I'roiit than 

 at base, slightly emarginate at extremities, front angles advanced but nuinded, 

 bind angles evident though strongly rounded ; median line fairly deep, though 

 not reaching extremities, basal foveae well marked but n«rrnw ; surface coarsely 

 and closely punctate, transversely rugose at sides. Elytra elongate-oval, dull, 

 rather convex, nearly half as long as wide, border forming an angle at shoulder, 

 finely punctate- striate ; intervals a little convex in front, flat behind, with two- 

 very irregular rows of fine punctures at sides of stri;ie, the odd intervals 

 smoother in the middle than the even ones, especially towards base, 9 seriate- 

 punctate along inner margin. Under surface iridescent, moderately punctate,, 

 but ventral surface smooth in middle ; prosternal process channelled, bordered 

 at apex, metepisterua a little longer tlian wide. 



Belonging to Chaudoir's c AZo/Wms-group : a little longer than opacipennis 

 Chaud., tliorax narrower, hind angles rounded, elytra much more closely punc- 

 tate. C. henryi Audr. is also nearly allied, and about the same size, but in that 

 species the elytra are much more closely punctate, and the prothorax is 

 more contracted towards apex. 



I have before me five examples (1 (5,4 5 $ ) all from tlie Andaman' 

 Islands. The type, which is in my collection, is a specimen kindly givon- 

 to me by M. Kene Oberthiir, other examples being in his collection. 

 One example {Gapt. Wimherley) is in the British Museum, and three 

 examples are in the Indian Museum, Calcutta. 



Clilaeniiis toiizulini, n. sp. 



Length 17 mm. ; width 6"o0 mm. Black, underside iridescent ; head 

 coppery, sides and clypeus metallic green : prothorax purple-black, broadly 

 bright green along side margins, more narrowly along front margin ; elytra 

 aintly blue in striae, intervals 8 and 9 and base (uanowly) green, marginal
