South Avurican Eumolpidm. 498 



tarsi are bluisli-black and the apex of the femora similarly 

 coloured in what I take to be the normal form, speci- 

 mens with fulvous legs representing the variety. There 

 does not seem to be much difference between the sexes. 

 I know of no other species of this genus which is similarly 

 coloured ; the comparatively short antennse and the equal 

 width of the thorax agree better with AlctJiaxins than 

 with Colaspis. 



GamjjylocJiira fidvicornis, sp. n. 



Below metallic cupreous, above aeneous, antennae,. tibi;e and tai'si 

 fulvous, thorax obscure cupreous, the sides bidentate, sparingly and 

 strongly punctured, the punctures metallic green, elytra finely 

 punctured in distant rows, more strongly so at the sides, the 

 interstices at the latter phice rugose. 



Mas. The anterior tibi;e curved at the apex, the hrnt joint of the 

 tarsi dilated. 



Length 8 millim. 



Head cupreous, closely and strongly punctured with a deep 

 longitudinal groove, clypeus well separated from the face, the base 

 closely punctured, labrum fulvous, antenna) extending to the middle 

 of the elytra, fulvous, the third and fourth joints eipial, shorter than 

 the fifth one ; thorax about one-half bi'oader than long, the sides 

 rounded, bidentate at the middle, the surface irregularly and 

 sparingly impressed with strong, metallic green punctures ; elytra 

 aeneous with a cupreous gloss, finely and remotely punctate-striate 

 near the suture, the base with a rather marked depression, the sides 

 more strongly punctured and with the interstices rather rugose, the 

 interior of all the punctures metallic green ; below and the femora 

 cupreous, the tibia) and tarsi fulvous, prosternum broad, its base 

 truncate. 



Ilah. Brazil, Espiritu Santo, 



Allied to G. ftdvipes, Lef., but of a totally different 

 sculpture on account of the sparingly punctured thorax 

 and remotely punctured elytra. The genus Campylochira 

 is distinguished from Podoxenus, Lef., by the much shorter 

 metatarsus of the posterior legs (which is very elongate 

 in the last-named genus) and by the broad prosternum.
