19. Catapionus semivittatus, sp. nov. 



Colour shining black, with markings of metallic green or bluish 

 scaling ; head and rostrum green, except just behind the eye ; 

 prothorax with four green stripes ; elytra dorsally with green 

 scaling in the punctures only, intervals 1 and 2 and interval 4 

 with a broad green stripe in the apical part, a broad green stripe 

 throughout interval 6, and a similar marginal stripe which does 

 not quite reach the base. 



Head and rostrum very similar to those of C. basilicus, but with 

 the genae less sharply angulated and the corners of the apical 

 emargination scarcely produced. Antennce piceous, with the scape 

 more abruptly clavate, the terminal joints of the funicle sub- 

 moniliform. Protliorax about as long as broad in the cJ , a little

broader than long in the $ , the sides subpai'allel from the base to 

 beyond the middle, then roundly narrowed to the apex, the gular 

 margin sinuate, the upper surface with close shallow punctation 

 and scattered deeper punctures, a shallow impression on each side 

 behind the middle with a glabrous space adjoining, and a deep 

 central furrow which is broadly impressed before and behind the 

 middle. Elytra of about the same shape as in basilicus, without 

 distinct strife, but with rows of large separated foveae or punc- 

 tures, the intervals shiny and impunctate, the discal ones more 

 or less uneven, the setae longer and more sparse, but absent on 

 the disk. Legs black, with sparse green scaling and dark setae.
