ARGYRIPA SUBFASCIATA. 43 



Allorhina Lansbergei Sallé ^) from Santa-Fé de Bogota , in- 

 correctly placed by Messrs. Gemminger and von Harold in 

 the genus Blaesia Burm. , and to which , according to Mr. 

 0. E. Janson ^) , Allorhina hypoglauca Westw. ^) from Ni-

Length 26 — 28,5 mm. — Black , the elytra with a faint 

 bronzy green tinge; covered with a short yellowish brown 

 pubescence which is paler on the second and following joints 

 of the antennae (where moreover the pubescence is very 

 dense) , and more reddish on the head , thorax and elytra. 

 On the latter , which have each a small round bare spot 

 at the middle, it is sparingly speckled with greyish; on 

 the head, scape of antennae, legs and undersurface of the
