 India, Belgaum, Kanara, Poona, Dharwai; China. 



Rather doubtfully refered to /. oculata Redt. Examples from 

 Kanara hâve the knees, tibiaB and tarsi black, or at least fuscous, 

 and in this respect the example from Poona which M. J. Bourgeois 

 has kindly exarained is particularly dark, while those from Bel- 

 gaum and one from Dharwar, hâve the legs nearly yellow. One 

 example from Belgaum and one from Kanara, hâve the elytra 

 fulvous, with only a bluish shade getting darker at the tips, I think 

 thèse are immature spécimens. 



« Taken from March to August, sometimes wandering about 

 during the day, sometimes on flowers, but generally fîying to 

 light in the evening ». 



86. Idgia Belli n. sp. — Lxte mridis^ micans, antennis palpis 

 tarsisque nigro-fuscis, parce pubescens, elytris confertim puncta- 

 tis^ seriatim gramilosis. — Long. 11-12 millim. 



Ilab. India, Kanara (Bell). 



Wholly brilliant metallic green with the sole exception of the 

 mouth itself, and the antennae (and even thèse hâve a greenish 

 tint above), and that the tarsi and tips of the tibise are almost black. 

 In many parts the body is brassy, frequently so beneath. The 

 antennae hâve the apical joint cultriform, and as is usual often 

 nearly testaceous. The front and sides of the head, and the sides of 

 the thorax hâve rather dense long hairs. The elytra hâve four or 

 five rows of granulations, but no costœ, and are narrow, scarcely 

 widened behind. The wings are of course fuscous. Five spécimens 

 were obtained by M'' J, R. D. Bell at Kanara. 



87. Idgia viridescens n . sp. — Nigro-fusca nitida, mridi-

 Long. 14 millim. 



Hab. India (coll. Gorham). 



About the size of D. oculata^ and rather broadly widened
