greenish gloss and elytral punctures somewhat langer (51/3 milL). 



17. Like 16, but of a rather dingy bluish purple (7 mill.). 



18. Like 17, but legs coloured as in 2 (7 1/2 mill). 



19. Purplish-bronze, elytral punctures rather coarse, subtu- 

 bercles distinct; femora coloured as in 2, four hind tibiœ dark at 

 tips (5 mill.). 



20. Upper surface coloured as in maie of 1, and with similar 

 punctures, but subtubercles less distinct. Apical two-thirds of hind 

 femora dark, middle femora feebly striped behind (5 mill.). 



21. In appearance much like 20, but elytral punctures much 

 smaller, and legs as in 1 (5 mill.). 



22. Much like 20, but with a decided greenish gloss (4 3/4 mill.). 



23. Coppery green. Elytral punctures much smaller than usual, 

 subtubercles scarcely traceable. Abdomen entirely pale. Legs as 

 in 1 (5 2/3 mill.).

It was probably from this form ihai filiformis was described.

Lemidia pilosa Gorh. 



A spécimen from Karridale may belong to this species, butdiffers
