middle into an oval depression. In tins depression, and at the 

 sides and base, it is very strongly and closely punctured — else- 

 where it is scantily punctured and very smooth and shining, with 

 a shallow impression on each side before the middle. The lateral 

 margins are sharply serrated, moderately flattened in the posterior 

 half and broadly rounded, with a fringe of long and very dense 

 hairs beneath. The front femur is armed with u broad, bluntly 

 angulated lamina and serrated between this and the extremity ; 

 the tibia is gently and almost uniformly curved, its extremity 

 being produced into a long pointed process, with a tooth near the 

 middle of its upper edge, and armed with another sharp-pointed 

 process shorter than the terminal one, near the middle of the 

 inner edge and midway between two of the minute teeth of the 

 outer edge. 



I have not seen a female.

400. Propomacrus henrici. (Fig. 76, fore-leg of male.) 



Cheirotonns henrici, Pouill., Insecta, 1913, p. 472, figs. 5 c, 6 c. 



Brilliant metallic green, with the elytra almost black, suffused 

 with a slight metallic lustre and decorated with not very crowded 

 irregular orange-yellow lines and blotches, the latter almost as in 

 P. macleayi. The lower surface is thickly clothed with long pale 

 yellow hair, which is also long and conspicuous upon the 

 pygidium. 



The body is compact, convex, and not very elongate; the 

 head, pronotum and legs rather shining, and the elytra opaque 

 and microscopically rugulose, a little dilated behind the middle, 

 with the apical angles slightly spinose. The front margin of the 

 pronotum bears a minute tooth in the middle. 



(S . The forehead is rather finely punctured, and the clypeus 

 coarsely, the latter moderately long, deeply excavated and divided 

 from the forehead by a well-marked ridge; the front margin is 

 strongly reflexed and the anterior face forms an acute angle with 

 the upper surface. The pronotum is transverse and very convex, 

 with a longitudinal groove, which dilates from before the middle 

 into a very broad triangular depression. In this depression, as 

 well as at the sides and near the base, it is coarsely and rugosely 

 punctured, leaving only a small smooth and shining area on each 

 side of the posterior depression. The lateral margins are sharply 

 serrated, strongly dilated and flattened behind, and greatly re- 

 tracted before the base, with a fringe of very long yellow hairs 

 beneath. Tlie front femur is armed with a broad sharp-pointed 

 lamina and serrated between this and the extremity ; the tibia is
