 (natural size), with details of sternal 

 process aud iVont tibia of the female. 



51. Torynorrhina apicalis. 



Ilhomborrhina apicalis, Westiv.,* Arcana Ent. i, 1842, p. 118, pi. 30, 

 fig-. 2 ; Schaum, Ann. Soc. Ent. France, 1849, p. 246. 



Slightly opalescent pink 

 above and dark olive-green 

 beneath, with the apical 

 edges of the elytra, the 

 pygidium and legs bLack,. 

 the apical black border of 

 the elytra sharply defined 

 in front. 



The general form and 

 features are exactly those of 

 T. distlncta, Hope, but the 

 size is a trifle larger on the 

 whole and the rugose pos- 

 terior border of the elytra 

 is quite black and sharply 

 defined, instead of merging 

 insensibly into the general 

 colour. The colour of tha 

 upper surface is peculiar 

 and, unlike that of the preceding species, seems to be constant. 



Length 31-33 mm. ; breadth 14-16-5 mm. 



SiKKiM : Mungphu ; Nepal. 



Tyi^e in the Oxford Museum ; co-type in the British Museum. 



52. Torynorrhina hyacinthina. 



Ilhomborrhina hyacinthina, Hope,* Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. iii, 1841,. 

 p. 62 ; Westiv., Arcana Ent. i, 1842, p. 119, pi. 30, fig. 1. 



Deep indigo-black, with the head, legs and lower surface rather 

 more distinctly blue. 



The form is the same as in the two preceding species, but the 

 upper surface is more sti-ongly and rugosely punctured. The 

 entire surface of the 2^^'onotam is distinctly punctured (the sides 

 very densely), the scutellum is finely but evidently punctured, and 

 the elytra are covered with large transverse impressions or 

 punctures. The hairy fringe of the hind tibicv is rather less 

 developed. 



Length 32-35 mm. ; breadth 15-16 mm. 



Assam : Khasi Hills, Silhet ; Bhutan. 



Type in the Oxford Museum. 



53. Torynorrhina incisa, sp. n. 



Bright metallic green, except a small spot on each humeral 

 callus, the edges of the ventral segments and the tarsi, which are 

 black.
