128 COSMIOMORPHA DECLIVA. 



process long, narrowed and obtuse at the apex. Legs 

 strigose and with sparse setae , anterior tibiae long and 

 curved , finely denticulate inside and with two slight mar- 

 ginal teeth ou the outer side, anterior tarsi nearly twice 

 the length of the tibiae , the first joint strongly produced 

 at the apex beneath. 



In the female the clypeus is shorter and broader with the 

 angles less prominent, the thorax is smaller, much less 

 deflexed in front and more regularly rounded at the sides, 

 the legs are altogether shorter and stouter, the anterior 

 tibiae have two very large external teeth and the internal 

 deuticulation almost obsolete. — Length 20 — 21 mm. 



Hah. Foo-chow, S. E. China. 



This species is closely allied to C. modesta Saund., but, 

 besides the difierence in coloration , the setae on the upper 

 surface are much finer and more sparse , the clypeus is 

 longer, narrower and more strongly emarginate at the 

 apex and in the male the apical angles are more prominent, 

 this sex differs moreover from modesta in having the tho- 

 rax less convex and much more strongly deflexed in front. 

 The male and female in my collection are the only spe- 

 cimens I have seen , in the latter the black thoracic patch 

 is much larger than in the male and extends to the lateral 

 margins in the middle and at the base and apex so that 

 only two spots of the ground colour remain on each side, 

 the black basal and sutural borders on the elytra are also 

 broader and there is no spot on the clypeus. 



Gnorimus costipennis, n. sp. 



Elongate, convex, brassy green, shining, apex of the 

 clypeus and the pygidium coppery green , underside and 

 the femora coppery black , tibiae and tarsi black , antennae 

 and the palpi reddish. Head closely and rather coarsely 

 punctured, clypeus more sparsely punctured in front, the 

 apex rounded and deeply notched in the centre, the mar- 

 gins a little thickened. Thorax moderately convex , nearly 

 one fourth broader in the middle than long, a little
