Derinorhiftis iyneo-fasciata. 



D. subelongata, convexa, cuprea, supra pxirpureo-cuprea, profunde punc- 

 tata; thoracis limbo elytroriunque fasciis duabus, sutui-aque postice, 

 igneis. — Long. 4A lin. 



Hab. Ceylon. 



Subelongate, convex. Head rugose, sides and lower portion of face 

 dull igneous. Thorax twice as broad at the base as long, sides rotun- 

 date angustate, nearly parallel at the base, indistinctly bidentate, 

 anterior angles slightly produced, their apex obtuse; surface closely 

 covered with large deeply impressed punctures. Scutellum broadly 

 semiovate, shining cupreo-violaceous. Ehi;ra much broader than the 

 thorax, sides parallel, the apex of each elytron acutely rovmded ; above 

 convex, surface closely covered with round punctures, larger and more 

 deeply impressed than those on the thorax, arranged in indistinct striae, 

 interstices elevated; on the hinder disk are several more or less distinct 

 longitudinal costae, most distinct near the suture and at the apex, where 

 they become irregidar ; each elytron with the extreme basal and lateral 

 borders, two broad transverse fasciae, the one placed just before, the 

 other immediately behind tlie middle, and a sutural stripe extending 

 from the posterior band to the apex, where it becomes broadly dilated, 

 bright igneous. Body beneath cupreous ; outer edge of tibiae with a 

 violet reflexion ; tarsi obscure. 



Dermorhytis Fortunei. 



D. elongata, subcylindrica, metallico-pvu-purea, nitida ; capite thoraceque 

 viridi-«neis, hoc aureo-tiacto, dorso punctato, valde convexo ; elytris 

 irregulariter punctatis, interspatiis prope suturam planis, disco exteriore 

 et ad latera transversim elevato-strigosis ; antennis nigro-purpureis, 

 basi fulvis. — Long. 4| lin. 



Hab. Northern China. Collected by Mr. Fortune. 



Elongate, subcylindiical, shining metallic pui'ple. Head punctured ; 

 antennae longer than half the body, subfiliform, the first four or five 

 joints more or less pale fulvous, basal joint metallic gi'een. Thorax 

 very convex above, almost semiglobose, sides slightly roimded, some- 

 what narrowed and deflexed in front, anterior angles slightly produced 

 anteriorly ; sm-face deeply but not very closely punctured. Scutelkmi 

 semiovate, bright metallic green. Elji:ra broader than the thorax, 

 sides parallel, apex rounded, above convex, impressed just below the 

 scutellum by a shallow fovea ; surface punctured, interspaces near the 

 suture nearly flat, the remainder of the surface covered with strongly 

 elevated transverse and somewhat irregidar ridges. 



Genus Geloptera. 



Corpus oblongum, convexum. Caput perpendiculare, thoraci ad marginem 

 posteriorem oculorum immersum; antennis gracilibus, filifonnibus aut 

 subfiliformibus, articulo primo incrassato, secundo brevi, tertio iUo fere
