the apex of the eighth pale fulvous. Head densely and finely 

 punctate, marked with a transverse impression at the junction of 

 the clypeus with the front, the latter with a feeble median line 

 extending between the antenniferous tubercles to the vertex, 

 Prothorax strongly constricted, with a deep transverse groove 

 near the apex, slightly rounded at the middle of each side, 

 Mddened towards the base, with the basal angles laterally project- 

 ing and acute ; the surface glossy, finely but somewhat unevenly 

 punctate, covered with patches of grey pubescence near the base. 

 Elyti'a sharply rounded at the shoulders, wider there than the 

 base of the prothorax, gradually narrowed posteriorly, truncate a 

 little obliquely at the apex; slightly depressed along the disc near 

 the suture, sparsely and not strongly punctured, the punctures 

 each with a short hair. Bi'east faiutly covered with silky grey 

 pubescence. Abdomen gradually narrowed posteriorly, the last 

 segment shorter than the penviltimate, rounded at the apex, pro- 

 jecting a little past the apex of the elytra. Antenna) slightly 

 longer than the body, with cylindrical joints which become succes- 

 sively but very slightly thicker from the fifth to the tenth. First 

 joint of the hind tarsus as long as the rest united, the third cleft 

 nearly to the base. 



Length 10-11 ; hreadth 2| mm.

Long and narrow. Head and antennae black ; prothorax, elytra, 

 ventral side and legs dark metallic-blue, slightly tinged with green. 

 Head finely and very densely punctured above, less densely on the 

 sides and front ; front rather long, with a carina along each side 

 iind a deeply impressed line along the middle, this line continued 

 along the vertex ; clypeus large, limited above by a transverse 

 impressed line. Prothorax gradually narrowed from base to 

 apex, constricted and deeply grooved transversely near the apex, 

 this groove and the part in front of it smooth and glossy, the 

 rest of the upper surface thickly and rather strongly punctured, 

 except in a transverse grooA^e near the base and along a smooth 

 median line proceeding from it ; from the anterior groove a median 

 impressed line extends to the middle. Elytra oblique at the 

 shoulders, narrowed gradually and slightly to the middle, then 

 gradually widened a little posteriorly, truncate broadly and a little 

 obliquely at the apex, slightly more prolonged at the outer angle 

 and there also feebly dentate ; tlie surface very thickly and rather 

 strongly punctured all over. Antennae of d almost as long 

 as the body; the joints cyliudrical, gradually but very slightly 

 thicker from the fourth or fifth ; the fifth and succeeding joints 

 each marked with a small pit near the apex on the anterior 

 side. Body beneath not densely covered with short silver-grey 

 pubescence. Abdomen of S narrow, the last two segments ex- 

 tended beyond apex of elytra and curved downwards, the last
