CEROPHYSA VIRIDIPENNIS. 45 



Elytra obscure o-reenisb aeneous , closely punctured. — 

 Length 3 lines. 



Head entirely impunctate , the vertex with a rather deep 

 longitudinal groove. Clypeus triangularly convex, La- 

 brum obscure fulvous. Antennae scarcely extending to 

 half the length of the body , blackish green , the edges 

 covered with yellowish pubescence. Thorax subquadrate , 

 slightly broader than long, the sides rounded before the 

 middle, from there to the base straight, angles obtusely 

 rounded , surface scarcely visibly punctured , slightly con- 

 vex, with two small impressions transversely placed at the 

 middle of the disk. Scutellum greenish black. Elytra wi- 

 der than the thorax , very closely and irregularly punctured , 

 the interstices slightly rugose forming transverse and lon- 

 gitudinal wrinkles. Underside and legs greenish black, 

 finely pubescent, coxae fulvous. Coxal cavities open. Claws 

 appeudiculate. 



A single specimen from Soepajang (Sumatra- Expedition). 



This species agrees in every structural character with 

 the exception of the antennae with Cerophysa in which I 

 have at present included it. In the present species the 

 8th instead of the 6th and 7th joints, is greatly develop- 

 ed , but in the absence of other differences I prefer not 

 to erect a new genus on this character.

 finely punctured. — Length 3 lines. 



Head impunctate, sliglitly depressed at the vertex, the 

 encarpae rather flattened and divided by a thin longitudi- 

 nal groove. Carina strongly elevated , clypeus narrow , 

 thickened and transverse. Palpi moderately thickened , third 

 joint rather long, apical joint acute, conical. Antennae 

 robust , extending to only one third the length of the body,
