Creophilopsis semiaeneus, n. sp. 

 Rathei' robust, parallel, shiniug metallic-green, the aljdomeu Llack ; p.alpi 

 reddish ; aatenuae reddish-brown, the first two and the last joints reddish- 

 testaceous ; legs pitcliy-brown. 



Length 15 mm. 



Head transversely quadrate, the eyes large, their diameter much greater 

 than the length of the temples ; the posterior angles rounded ; neck very broad ; 

 puucturation of the vertex and front very fine and sparing, mixed with larger 

 punctures on the temples and behind the eyes, where on either side there is a 

 large setiferous pore. Antennae long, all the joints distinctly longer than 

 broad, the 4th to the 7th differing little amongst themselves, the 8th, 9th, and 

 10th gradually diminishing in length. Thorax slightly transverse, the sides 

 nearly straight, feebly converging iu front, the anterior angles rounded, the 

 posterior angles effaced ; disc with a single small puncture on either side, the 

 rest of the surface exceedingly finely and rather sparingly punctured. Scutel- 

 lum black, finely and pretty closely punctured. Elytra as long and as broad as 

 the thorax, transverse, metallic-green with copper reflex ; on either side of the 

 suture with a somewhat obsolete row of larger punctures, otherwise moderately 

 finely and not very closely punctured, with yet finer punctures sparingly inter- 

 spersed. Abdomen closely and finely punctured throughout, rather more 

 sparingly so behind, pretty closely clothed with black pubescence. 



J . Anterior tarsi strongly dilated ; 6th ventral segment with an oblique 

 excision of the posterior margin.

Quedius {Sajyhims) rwqosus, n. sp. 



Shining, head and elytra metallic-green, thorax purplish-green ; abdomen 

 black, with the pubescence golden ; fore parts coarsely and rugosely punctured ; 

 antennae and legs dark, the coxae and femora more or less testaceous. 



Length 6 mm. 



Scarcely differing in size or build from Q. auricomus, Ivies., but remarkable 

 for the coarse rugose sculpture of the fore parts. Head suborbicular, with the 

 eyes nearly as broad as the thorax ; eyes very large ; temples scarcely visible ; 

 coarsely, closely, and rugosely punctured, front with a small nearly smooth 

 space. Antennae short, the 3rd joint longer than the 2nd, the 4th a little 

 longer than broad, the 6th to the 10th scarcely differing amongst themselves, 

 and as long as broad. Thorax about as long as broad, the sides gently rounded, 

 a little more convergent in front than behind ; on either side of the middle line 

 with an irregular row of 11 or 12 very large umbilicate punctures, laterally 

 with closely placed, irregular, confluent, larger and smaller punctures, near the 

 basal margin and external to the dorsal row more or less smooth. Scutellum 

 smooth. Elytra a little longer and broader than the thorax, as long as broad, 

 puucturation coarse, close and confluent, almost forming rugae ; pubescence 

 scanty and coarse. Abdomen pointed, black, rather finely and not very closely 

 punctured, very strongly transversely strigose : pubescence rather coarse and 

 moderately close, black, the first five segments on either side with a patch of 

 distinct golden hairs.
