the $ ) aud 7-toothed, blue, with reddish borders. The basal joints of 

 the antennaB are blue. The head is more roughly sculptured than in 

 0. mm'gineguttatu, and the striae visible in the centre. The transverse 

 striae of the thorax are very distinct ; the hind border is igneous- 

 coppery ; the disc on each side purplish and duller. The elytra are 

 coppery, changing with the play of light, with the margins bluish ; 

 the lateral spots are very small, especially the humeral and apical, 

 the latter sometimes wanting. The surface is densely covered with 

 larger punctures than usual, not running into rugae. The whole 

 under surface is glossy dark blue and glabrous. The legs are also 

 dark blue, except the reddish extreme bases of the femora. The two 

 terminal joints of the maxillary palpi and the terminal one of the 

 labials are black, but in some examples the under-side of the penulti- 

 mate joint of the labial palpi is also black.

Odontocheila eufiscapis, sp. n. 



Gracilis, valde eJongata, supra obscure cuprea, antrnnarum articulo 

 prima rufo-testaceo ; elytris anpcstis, sitpra cequalibus, creherrime gros- 

 sius pimctatis, margine cyaneo ; guttis trihus albis ; subtus nigro-cyanea, 

 pedibus ccBrulescenti-piceis, femoribus basi Jlavo-testaceis.

The head and thorax are shorter in proportion to the elytra than 

 in any of the allied species, and the elytra arc destitute of the de- 

 pressions which exist in O. margineguttata. The scape of the antennae 

 is pale reddish-testaceous, and the joints 2 — 4 are pitchy-black, with 

 a slight bluish tint. The labrum is dull green, with reddish borders. 

 In colour the species agree with marginilabris, Erichs., but, according 

 to the description, that species has an oblique depression on the 

 elytra, and transverse 5-toothed labrum ; it is therefore a Phyllodroma. 

 O. riifiscapis has an elongate 7-toothed labrum in both sexes. The 

 thorax is short and cylindrical ; dull in colour, with a coppery stripe 

 on each side, and no coppery lustre on the hind margins. The elytra 

 are dullish brown-coppery, with violet margins edged with golden- 

 green ; the marginal white spots small, especially the humeral one ; 

 their surface is covered with punctiires, so close that their interstices 

 rise as minute sharp tubercles ; but there are no transverse rugae. 



Macas, Equador ; several examples (Mr. Buckley).
