DINEUTES REGIMBARTI. 61 



striolae, laterally marked with four grooves of a sericeous 

 green color and with a few others on the disk which however 

 are hardly indicated , very slightly emarginate-dentate before 

 the apex , further on truncated at almost right angles , which 

 are not at all blunted; the truncation slightly concave. 

 In the male the outer apical angle of the anterior tibiae 

 projects in the shape of a tooth which is but little acute. 

 Hab. Timor (Macklot and Wienecke). — Several specimens 

 of both sexes.

 supra subtilissime reticulatus, nigro-olivaceus , plus minus 

 aeneo-micans ; infra nigro-piceus , abdomine pedibusque pos- 

 ticis brunneo-ferrugineis ; prothorace elytrisque vitta sub- 

 marginali lata , opaca et sericea , apicem hand attingente , 

 ornatis ; elytris apice rotundatis , extus vix subsinuatis , an- 

 gulo suturali valde obsoleto. cf femoribus anticis intus 

 sulcatis et ante apicem dentatis; tibiis rectis, angulo api- 

 cali externo obtuso , baud deleto nee prominulo. 



This magnificent species, the largest of the genus, is 

 very closely allied to Dineutes politus Mc. Leay; it differs 

 from it by its more regular oval and more convex shape, 

 by the sides and apex of the elytra being less distinctly 

 depressed , by the anterior tibiae which are straight and 

 not curved inwards, by the much less sinuated outer edge 

 of the elytra and finally by the broad submarginal opaque 

 and sericeous band, which is present on the sides of the 

 prothorax and of the elytra, and which does not surpass 

 the three fourths of the length of the latter. The upper- 

 surface of the body has all over an olivaceous bronzy black 

 color and is glossy with the exception of the sericeous band 

 which is opaque and resplendent. The undersurface pitchy 

 black, the middle- and hind-legs as well as the abdomen 

 ferrugineous brown. The anterior legs are very stout; the 

 anterior femur of the male shows on the inside at three fourths
