123. Protaetia longipennis, sp. n. 



Copper-coloured, with the lo\\er surface and legs fiery red and 

 the upper surface opaque ; decorated m ith white markings con- 

 sisting of six or eight minute spots on 

 each side of the pronotuni, a small ir- 

 regular patch at the outer margin of 

 each elytron considerably beyond the 

 middle, and minute spots between these 

 and at the sides. There are also, a 

 small spot on each side of the pygi- 

 dium, two or three on each side of the 

 sternum, and two rows ou each side of 

 the abdomen. 



It is an elongate, depressed species, 

 tapering gently from shoulders to apex. 

 The Jtead is sparingly punctured, but 

 more closely at the sides of the clypeus, 

 the front margin of which is very feebly 

 excised in the middle. The pronotum 

 is also sparingly punctured, except at 

 the sides, the lateral margins are feebly 

 angulated behind the middle, the posterior angles moderately 

 prominent, and the base narrowly emarginate in the middle. 

 The scuiellum is rather elongate. The eh/tra are long, moderately 

 punctured, and have a broad depression upon the posterior half 

 near the sutvu-e. The sides are strongly sinuated and the apical 

 auHes not produced. The pyciidium is rugose and clothed with 

 short erect setse. The mesostemal j^^'ocess is short and broad, the 

 middle of the metasiernum and abdomen smooth, the sides of the 

 former rugose, those of the latter coarsely punctured and both 

 thinly clothed with short hairs. The front //ia? are sharply tri- 

 dentate and the hind tibia/ closely fringed. 



I have seen only the female, in whicii the last two ventral 

 seo'ments are strongly punctured and the si)urs of the hind tibia? 

 very short and blunt. 



Length 21 mm. ; breadth 10 5 mm.
