lighter blue, the antennæ extending beyond the middle ofthe elytra, 
the latter with the punctures less closely placed and arranged in 
irregular rows, the sides with a longitudinal narrow depression at 
the middle, sometimes preceded by another less distinct one, the 
penis very nearly identical in shape with that of 77. cyanea. 
ÆHab. Burmah (my collection). 
Although the penis of this species agrees with that of the 
preceding species, the sculpture of the elytra, the longer antennæ 
and brighter blue colour prevent me from looking upon it as a 
variety only, there are four specimens contained in my collection 
which agree entirely in the sculpturing of the elytra, no trace of a 
depression being visible in the numerous Indian and Sumatran 
specimens before me. 
Some specimens from Chamba in the Himalayas, I have at 
present also referred to Æ7. cyanea, as they only seem to differ in a 
finer elytral punctuation, the penis agrees however with that of 
the other males from India and Sumatra.

À few specimens from Belgaum agree well with a specimen 
kindly giden to me by the author but the elytra have rows of
