POLTZONUS.

a distinct but rather bluut tubercle at the middle of each side ; 

 closely and irregularly riigulose on the 

 disc, which is more or less dull, striate 

 towards the sides, the striae transverse and 

 obhque ; nitid at the sides and near the 

 front and hind margins. Elytra covered 

 faintly, except on the yellow bands, with a 

 .short black pubescence, which more or less 

 obscures the green colour of the derm. 

 Body beneath covered with a fine silvery- 

 grev pubescence. Hind femora reaching 

 nearly to the apex of the elytra in both 

 sexes. First joint of the hind tarsi much 

 longer than the second and third united. 

 Last ventral segment of $ sinuate at the 

 apex ; fifth and sixth in cJ sinuately emar- 

 ginate at the apex. 



Length 16-20 ; breadth 3|-4| mm.

241. Polyzonus brevipes, sp. n. 



MetalHc green ; the elytra with two transverse yellow bands 

 placed one a little before, the other behind the middle, the 

 posterior band the broader of the two. Head nitid, densely 

 rugulose-pimctate. Antennae shorter than the body in both 

 sexes, slightly thickened between the middle and apex; first 

 three or four joints green, the rest black ; the first densely punc- 

 tured ; sixth or seventh to tenth slightly produced so as to form 

 an acute angle at the apex on the anterior side. Prothorax with 

 a smooth, glossy obtuse tubercle at the middle of each side ; the 

 disc densely rugulose-punctate, with a granulate appearance, 

 sparsely covered with short black pubescence ; the sides^ less 

 densely punctate and somewhat smootli in places. Elytra finely 

 and very densely punctulate ; covered, except on the yellow bands, 

 with a "short dark pubescence which more or less obscures the 

 colour of the derm.' Body beneath covered with grey pubescence. 

 Legs rather short for this genus ; the hind femora reach very 

 littTe past the hind margin of the posterior yellow elytral band ; 

 first joint of hind tarsi not much longer than the second and 

 third united. Last ventral segment of $ obtusely rounded or 

 subtruncate at the apex. 



From P. bizonatus, which it much resembles in colour and 

 sculpture, this species is distinguishable by the relatively shorter 

 hind femora. 



Length 17^-19; breadth 3^-4 mm.
