174 PSEUDOCIIALCOTHKA. 



the single female specimen which was in my possession at 

 that time, did not yet allow of the generic distinction 

 which by the aid of the additional specimens I am at pre- 

 sent able to draw. Chalcothea Hasseltii Rits. must conse- 

 quently be considered as the type of the new genus. 



Besides this species, Chalcol/iea auripes Westw. ^) and 

 virejis Rits. ~J (— Bockii Lansb. 3) ) of which only the female 

 sex is known , will , 1 have no doubt , also prove to belong 

 to the genus Fseudochalcothea , whereas smaragdina G. & P. , 

 neglecta Rits. , ajfinis Voll. and resplendens G. & P. remain 

 in the genus Chalcothea.
