POPILLIA CHIRLNDANA, n. sp. 



Emerald green, extremely shiny, antennae and palps testaceous, 

 legs flavous testaceous with a greenish metallic tinge ; prothorax 

 with a narrow, lateral flavescent band, elytra with a broad arcuate 

 flavescent band reaching from the shoulder to the median part, but 

 not invading there the suture ; upper side glabrous ; clypeal part 

 very closely scabrose punctate, frontal part finely punctulate in the 

 anterior part of the disk where the punctures are somewhat remote, 

 but increase in depth and closeness towards the sides where they 

 are very distinct, the median posterior part is impunctate ; prothorax 

 plainly punctate except towards the apex ; elytra narrowly punctate 

 striate, but with the suture and the five dorsal intervals tectiform, 

 laterally there is a very deep, longitudinal depression abutting on 

 the margin which is there thickly folded, the three rows of punctures 

 on the sides are strongly marked from the top of the impression 

 below the humeral part to past the middle part, but obsolete or 

 obliterated thence ; propygidium covered with moderately shallow, 

 equi-distant punctures ; pygidium with a small patch of white hairs 

 on each side of the base, remotely punctate, and with a few villose 

 hairs along the margin which has a flavescent tinge ; abdominal 

 segments each with a band of white appressed hairs becoming 

 thicker and thus forming a kind of small patch near the junction 

 with the dorsal segment, these segments are closely punctate ; 

 sternum somewhat densely greyish pubescent, the sternal pro- 

 jection long, compressed, cuneiform ; hind tarsi fuscous. 



Length 14 mm. ; width 8 mm. 



This beautiful species seems to be very distinct from the other 

 African ones. 



Hab. Mozambique (Gazaland).
