'200 HET-OTA CREVIS. 



S""'' and 6*^ striae with two pale fulvous round spots. — 

 The colour of the underside is reddish testaceous , with the 

 exception of the head , the lateral portions and the anterior 

 margin of the prosternura , and the elytral epipleurae , 

 these parts being of a bronze green colour; the coxae and 

 femora are reddish testaceous , the tip of the latter and 

 the entire tibiae bright metallic green , the tarsi dark pit- 

 chy brown. 



Head very broad , not strongly produced in front of 

 the eyes , strongly but rather remotely punctured , the 

 punctures somewhat smaller but closer set along the inner 

 orbits, very fine on the narrowed front portion. 



Prothorax distinctly broader at the base than long; the 

 sides , which are minutely crenulate , converge in faintly 

 curved lines towards the front margin , the latter slightly 

 emarginate , the anterior angles consequently only very 

 slightly protruding; the base deeply bisinuate, the lateral 

 angles acute, the median lobe rounded; the upper surface 

 regularly convex, strongly and closely punctured , especially 

 at the sides , leaving free , however , a line along middle , 

 which is broadest at the base. The scutellum is strongly 

 transverse. 



Elytra subparallel , narrowing at the posterior third in 

 regularly curved lines towards the apices, which are nar- 

 rowly rounded, and slightly dehiscent at the suture; an 

 extremely minute tooth is present at the sutural margin 

 at some distance from the extreme tip, and also two or 

 three extremely minute denticulations , better seen from 

 beneath , on the lateral margin at about two-thirds of the 

 length of the elytra. Each elytron has ten striae of deeply 

 impressed punctures , of which the 4*^ and Stb are inter- 

 rupted by the fulvous spots and are not continued behind 

 the posterior one; the interstices, which become somewhat 

 costate on the apical portion , are very finely punctured 

 and show moreover a row of punctures which become lar- 

 ger towards the sides. 



The under surface of the head is covered with very large
