432 Mr. T. Y. Wollaston on the Ganarian Malacoderms.

mediis ad basin) testaceo dilutioribus.

The bright cyaneous, or greenish-cyaneous, head and elytra of 

 this beautiful Attains, combined with its rufous prothorax, which 

 has generally only a very broad central band darker, and its usually 

 black limbs, will serve to characterize it. Its head is less shining 

 than the rest of the surface, and is very closely and most minutely 

 rugulose ; and much the same kind of scidpture exists, though less 

 densely, on its pronotum, whilst its elytra are very thickly, though 

 delicately, punctulated, and with the additional erect hairs almost 

 evanescent at the base but very long towards the apex. It has 

 been observed hitherto only on the mountains of Palma. On the 

 12th of June, 1858, 1 captured it rather abundantly from off flowers, 

 at a high elevation, immediately below the Cumbre above Buena- 

 vista ; and during the preceding February it was taken more 

 sparingly by Mr. Gray at a lower altitude — I believe, in the district 

 of Buenavista itself. Mr. Gray's examples are the ones which I 

 have indicated as the " var. /3," in which the prothorax is either 

 almost or entirely rufous, and in some of which the anterior legs and 

 the base of the intermediate femora are infuscated-testaceous. 



10. Attains chrysanthemi, n. sp. (PI. XX. fig. 3.) 



A. laete cyaneo-viridis (rarius subajnescens) prothorace in limbo postico, 

 elytris latissime ad apicem et anguste per pai"tem marginis lateralis 

 posticam pedibusque flavis, subnitidus, supra densissime et (praesertim 

 in capite prothoraceque) sat grosse punctulato-rugulosiis ; elytris de- 

 pressis, pilis nigris erectis elongatis dense obsitis; antennis nigris, 

 basin versus obscure rufo-testaceis. 



Var. )3. dasytoides. Elytris ad apicem angustius flavis (interdum subcon- 

 coloribus), pedibus nigrescentibus.

This beautiful and comparatively constant Attains may be imme- 

 diately known by its bluish-green and sometimes senescent surface, — 

 the hinder angles and extreme base of the prothorax, together with 

 a large apical portion of the elytra (and a narrow lateral strip arising 

 out of it and extending to about the middle of the margin) and the 

 legs, being of a pale yellow. The legs, however, which are some-
