Chloridolum Klaesii, n. sp. ^. 



A large species, strongly resembling the South-American 

 CaUichroma suturalis Fabr. It differs however from that 

 species, besides by the generic characteristics, by the gla- 

 brous (not velvety) thorax and scutellum, by the shortened 

 glabrous sutural stripe, etc. 



Length 40 — 50 mm., breadth at the shoulders 10 — 12 

 mm.; length of the antennae 120 — 150 mm. — Above 

 metallic green, strongly shaded with coppery and purplish 

 tinges. Beneath purple. Antennae and legs dark steelblue , 

 the former with green tinges ; mandibles , upperlip and apical 

 margin of the abdominal segments black, the mandibles 

 shaded with green at the base. 



Head shining , with fine scattered punctures on the face , 

 vertex and cheeks , and with strong wrinkles behind the 

 eyes and beneath; a deeply impressed line runs from be- 

 hind the inter-antennary ridge down to the base of the 

 clypeus where it ends in a double curved transverse line , 

 thus forming an anchor-shaped figure I . The antennae 

 are three times as long as the insect; the scape is rather 

 strongly punctured , toothed at the top on the outside, 

 and shallowly , although distinctly , grooved in front ; it is 

 half as long as the S""*! joint, which is more or less cur- 

 ved, strongly punctured at the basal half, and provided 

 with black hairs beneath; joint 3 is as long as 4, 5 so-
