TAJfY^rEC'US. — PnACEPHOBUS. ] 07 



broad, roundly acuminate, the $ with a very short apical niucro, 

 those of the j very Ion<;- (l^-l^ mm.) and terminating; in a long 

 tuft of orange hairs ; with distinctly punctate strias which are not 

 deeper at the apex, stria 9 not impressed, the posterior callus 

 obsolete ; the scaling very dense, the setse dense and depressed. 

 Legs black; with dense green sealing, much tliicker in the c? than 

 in the $ and iiaving long reddish hairs on the inner edges of the 

 femora and tibiae, and especiail}' on the outer edge of the inter- 

 mediate tibiae. 



Anal segment of $ much broader than long, rounded at the 

 apex and without any basal lines ; metasternum with a longitudinal- 

 lateral impression in botlx sexes.

 p. 184 (1895). 



Colour bright metallic-green, or blue-green, witli a yellouish 

 lateral stripe on the prothorax and elytra. 



Very closely allied to the preceding species ; the prothorax has 

 only a faint trace of a carina, which is never sharply developed as 

 in verlorenii: the elytra are more rapidly narrowed behind, their 

 sides are less rounded in the J and their apices are not mucronate 

 in either sex, but are obliquely truncate, the c? having a small tuft 

 of hairs, and the upper surface is less convex ; the inner edges of 

 the tibiae have no long red hairs, but there are patches of long 

 depressed orange hairs on the two anterior pairs of femora in the 

 S, and a fringe of still longer depressed hairs on the outer edge- 

 of the intermediate tibia?. 



Length, J 9|-11, $ 8-9| mm.; breadth, ^ 3|-4|, $ 3-4 mm.
