70 THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 



as long, of even width, the sides rounded, the surface finely and very 

 closely punctured, the punctures rather more crowded at the sides, but 

 not larger ; elytra slightly transversely depressed below the base, with 

 closely approached rows of deep punctures, the interstices strongly 

 transversely rugose at the sides, costate at the apex ; legs fulvous. 



Hab. Silhet, India. 



A rather small-sized species, of which I possess a single 

 male specimen ; and distinguished from its allies in the finely, 

 closely, and evenly punctured thorax, in connection with the 

 fulvous legs. 



Chrysolampra flavipes, sp. nov. 



Dark asneous below, the breast metallic greenish ; antennae, labrum, 

 and legs fulvous, above cupreous ; thorax strongly and subremotely 

 punctured ; elytra subgeminate, punctate-striate near the suture, the 

 sides strongly and closely punctate and semirugose. 



Fern. Sides of the elytra strongly rugose, the punctures confluent. 

 Length, 6-8 mill. 



$ . Head finely and somewhat closely punctured, cupreous, the 

 vertex with a central longitudinal groove ; clypeus scarcely more 

 strongly punctured, its anterior margin nearly straight ; labrum ful- 

 vous ; antennas entirely fulvous (the last three joints wanting), basal 

 joint strongly thickened, second very short, third and fourth equal, 

 elongate, fifth joint longer ; thorax twice as broad as long, the sides 

 strongly rounded, the surface strongly but not very closely punctured, 

 the punctures of equal size, nearly absent at the lateral and basal 

 margins ; elytra very feebly depressed below the base, punctured like 

 the thorax near the suture, where the punctures are slightly arranged 

 in irregular double rows, the sides more strongly punctured, and the 

 interstices very strongly transversely rugose, those near the apex of 

 the elytra not raised, and impressed with single rows of punctures ; 

 below piceous, the breast more or less metallic green ; the legs pale 

 fulvous, the anterior femora strongly dilated. 



$ . Larger ; the elytral interstices more strongly rugose, those at 

 the apex longitudinally costate ; the breast and abdomen obscure 

 aeneous. 



Hab. Khasia Hills. 



This is another species which does not agree with any of its 

 congeners ; the punctuation of the thorax is different, the sides 

 of the latter might almost be called subangulate, and the legs 

 are entirely fulvous. I received both sexes from Dr. Kraatz.

NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS. 



Information and Material wanted. — Now that the first volume of 

 my new work on ' British Lepidoptera ' is completed, and entomologists 

 have an idea of the scope of the work contemplated, I should be glad 

 of help in every possible form with regard to the Plumes, the Psychids,
