nearly straight at the base, thence rounded to the apex ; surface 

 ii-i-egnlarly and rather widely covered with minute and larger 

 punctures, dark metallic-green. Scutellum of the same colour, 

 smooth, shining. Elytra widened behind the middle, very regu- 

 larly pimctate-striate, each elytron having ten rows of punctni-es, 

 of which the first is abbreviated, interstices impunctate, a common 

 sutural stripe from base to apex, widened anteriorly and limited 

 by the third stria, and the lateral margin joined at the a^^ex with 

 the sutural stri2)e, dark green, shining. Underside and inflexed 

 limb of the elytra greenish a?neous ; claws dark fulvous ; meso- 

 sternal process stout and slightly curved, 



DorypJiora glahrata, n. sp. 



Ovate, convex, black, thorax glabroiis ; elytra obsolctely 

 ptmctate-striate, a subsutural and submarginal vitta joined at 

 the apex, flavous. Length 4 lines. 



Ilond black, semiopaque, almost impunctate, antenna; longer 

 than the thorax, black, the first two joints fiavoTis beneath. 

 Thorax narrowed at the base, thence to the apex much widened 

 and rounded, narrowly margined laterally, surface convex, black, 

 entirely impunctate. Scutellum black. Elytra slightly nar- 

 rower at the base than the thorax, widened towards the middle, 

 very obsoletely punctate, the punctures near the suture arranged 

 in roAvs and widely apart, black, opaque, a narrow stripe near 

 the suture fi"om base to apex joined to another submarginal 

 stripe, dark flavous; margin and entire underside black; mcso- 

 sternal process short and stout. 



The almost entire absence of any punctuation (no j^i^^nctm-es 

 lieing visible even under a strong lens), and the small size will 

 distinguish this species from others similarly coloured. 



Doryplwra euchalca, Stal. 



One specimen of a uniform metallic-green agrees in general 

 form Avith the above species, but the elytra are more minutely 

 punctate, and the intervals are thoughout aciculate or scratched ; 

 it may possibly prove to be a difi^erent species. 



Dorypliora amahllis^ Baly. 



The single specimen before me agrees in every respect with 

 the descriptions given by Baly and Stal, but differs in the under- 

 side being marked with fuscous, which colour prevails along the
