punctures, which are very deuse at the sides and extremities and 

 rather scanty near the scuteUum and suture ; the outer iiiargins 

 are unitorinly rounded and the membranous fringes not broad. 

 The pygidium is finely and densely granulated. The front tibia 

 is bidentate, and the longer front and middle claws are cleft. 



cJ . The teeth of the front tibia are very sharp, and the inner 

 front claw is broad and blunt. 



Lengthy 26 mm. ; breadth, 14 mm.

Type in the British Museum. 



This is much more shining above and less closely punctured 

 than A. monoehroa, Bates, the only related species in which the 

 legs and lower surface, as well as the upper surface, are uniformly 

 green. A specimen in M. Oberthiir's collection is labelled Khasia 

 Hills, but probably in error.

Apple-green above (with a metallic lustre in var. harhata), the 

 lower surface and legs blue-black or blue-green. 



The shape is broadly oval and not very convex, and the sides 

 of the body beneath are thinly clothed with reddish hair. The 

 clypeus is densely punctured, the forehead rather less densely, 

 and the eyes are not very prominent nor very convex above. The 

 pronotum is finely and moderately closely punctured, except at 

 the sides, where the punctures are ratlier coarse and confluent ; 

 it is short and broad, with the sides uniformly curved, the front 

 angles not at all produced and the hind angles rounded. The 

 scutellum is finely punctured, and the elytra finely and fairly 

 closely, with slight traces of longitudinal lines, the marginal 

 membrane being fairly broad at the outer part of the posterior 

 margin. The pygidium is moderately finely transversely rugose. 



c? . The teeth of the front femur are short and sharp. 



2 ' The teeth of the front femur are long and rather slender, 

 and the pygidium is clothed all over with long tawny hair. 



Var. harhata, Burm. This is metallic, sometimes brassy-green 

 above, and generally of smaller size than the typical form. 



Length, 19-26 mm.; breadth, 11-5-15 mm.
