and there is no prominence of the metasternum. Aglycoptera is 

 equally near to Chalcoplethis, but in this the pecaliarly developed 

 hindlegs are of a very différent form, so that if thèse gênera be 

 separated, as they are, from Pelidnota on account of the struc- 

 ture of the legj^, they cannot be naturally placed as one genus, 



Aglycoptera lacerdse n. sp. — La^te viridis, elytris sericeo- 

 nigris, pedibus nigro-cyaneis; thorace transverso, subtilit-îr crebre 

 punctato, nitido; elytris parce obsolète punctatis, opacis. — Long. 

 28 mm, 



Head short and broad, clypeus obtuse, parabolic, without trace 

 ofteeth; the front densely, the vertex sparsely punctate. Thorax 

 with the margins very distinct, the surface even, with a minute 

 latéral puncture on each side. Scutellum ahnost impunctate, con- 

 colorous with the thorax. Elytra black with a faint purple tinge, 

 almost impunctate, diill, forming a strong contrast to the thorax. 

 Pygidium at base transversely rugose, at the apex smooth. Under- 

 surface golden green, breast only sparsely pubescent. 



This beautifui insect was prescnted by M. de Lacerda in whose 

 honour I hâve named it, to Mr. H. W. Bâtes, and to myself, and 

 1 understand from M. René Oberthiir, that it has also been received 

 by other entomologists, and that it was exhibited in the Amster- 

 dam exhibition two years ago.
