the vertex nitidous, the lower face granulose, lower por- 

 tion of front Avith a longitudinal depression ; clypeus not 

 longer than broad, slightly depressed, subpentangular, its 

 anterior margin obsoletely bidentate ; antennae two-thirds 

 the length of the body, five onter joints slightly thickened,

 Thorax rather more than twice as broad as long ; the 

 apical margin deeply excavated ; sides nearly straight and 

 very slightly converging from the base to just behind the 

 middle, thence obliquely rounded and converging to the 

 apex, the anterior angles produced, acute, the hinder ones 

 thickened, subacute ; disk convex, nitidous, distantly and 

 minutely punctured, sides near the lateral margin granu- 

 lose, rather closely covered with large round punctures. 

 Scutellum semirotimdate-ovate, its apex acute, its surface 

 sparingly impressed with minute punctures. Elytra 

 slightly broader than the thorax, convex, rather strongly 

 punctured, the punctures arranged in ill-defined longitu- 

 dinal rows, which are most distinct and regvdar on the 

 sides and apex ; inflexed limb nearly plane, its middle 

 portion slightly oblique. 



Chalcophyma echinata. 



Rotundata, valde convexa, nitida, subtus picea, cupreo 

 micans, tarsis sordide fulvis ; supra cuprea, antennis fulvis, 

 articulis intermediis piceis ; capite crebre impresso-strigoso, 

 labro piceo-fulvo ; thorace lateribus angulatis, disco rude 

 rugoso, crebre et profunde foveolato ; scutello semirotun- 

 dato ; elytris rude pimctatis, punctis ad apicem striatim 

 dispositis, interspatiis tuberculis acutis numerosis, nee non
