3. Chalcothea Hasseltii, sp. n. 9- 



Allied to Ch. auripes Westw. and the foregoing species 

 by its margined prothorax , but distinct by its much smal- 

 ler size, different color, and different shape of the pro- 

 sternal process, apical ventral segment, inner apical spur 

 of the hind tibiae, etc. 



Length 25 mm., breadth at the shoulders 10 mm. — 

 Of a yellowish green, except the margins of the clypeus, 

 the basal joint of the antennae , the trochanters and knees , 

 the extreme margins of the abdominal segments, as well 

 as the apical segment of the abdomen which are all of a 

 more bluish green ; the shoulders blackish ; the palpi , an- 

 tennae (except the basal joint) and tarsi of a coppery red, 

 the tibiae with a coppery red tinge. 



The clypeus deeply emarginated at the front margin, 

 raised at the sides and in the middle, the raised sides 

 nearly parallel ; the head irregularly covered with large 

 punctures intermixed with smaller ones ; outwardly from 

 the raised sides the clypeus is slightly aciculated. 



The sides of the prothorax are margined as in Auripes 

 and Virens , and slightly sinuated ; the disc covered with 

 faint traces of punctures intermixed with a large number of 

 very small ones ; the longitudinal impression extends from the 

 base as far as the front margin. The scutellum is more long 

 than broad at its base, impressed longitudinally, and with 

 a few punctures at the extreme base ; the sides are slightly 

 sinuated, the apex pointed. 



The elytra at the base broader than the base of the 

 thorax, each of them convex; the apical tubercle not 

 pointed ; the apex only very slightly notched and not
