Pseudodera metallica n. sp. 
Metallic green, the antennæ, tibiæ and tarsi flavous, thorax 
finely punctured, with a deep transverse groove, elytra punctate- 
striaté, thé basal portion raised. 
Length 2 5/:-3 lines. 
Of elongate and parallel shape, bright metallic green, the 
vertex of the head impunctate with a deep oblique groove at each 
side above the base of the antennæ, frontal tubercles rather small, 
trigonate, Carina acutely raised and long, the clypeus rugose, the 
labrum black, margined with fulvous and impressed with a row 
of deep punctures, antennæ extending beyond the middle of the 
elytra, flavous, the second joint proportionately long, one half the 
size of the third, the fourth nearly as long as the preceding, the 
terminal joints slightly thickened ; thorax twice as broad as long, 
the sides very slightly rounded, very narrowly margined, the 
anterior angles mucronate, the surface finely and rather closely 
punctured, with a deep transverse grocve near the base bounded 
at each side by a perpendicular groove, scutellum rather small; 
elytra wider at the base than the thorax, the base distinctly 
swollen, the dise regularly punctate-striate, each elytron with 
ten rows of punctures, rather obsolete near the apex, the latter 
subtruncate, the interstices smooth ; the underside rather more 
cupreous in colour, less metallic; all the tibiæ mucronate, flavous, 
the first joint of the posterior tarsi as long as the following joints 
together, claws appendiculate, anterior coxal cavities closed; 
posterior femora rather strongly incrassate. 
Hab. Madura (Madras). 
Although in this handsome speciès the antennæ are not tape- 
ring towards the apex as in the typical form and the metatarsus 
of the posterior legs is longer, the general shape, structure of the 
thorax agrees With Pseudoderu of wich genus two species are 
known, both inhabitants of the East. Although Baly made no 
mention of any spines, I find that all the tibiæ in the typical form 
are armed although the spine is very short and diflicult to detect 
at the anterior legs, in the present speciés they are however 
very distinct. 
Nisotra madurensis n. sp. 
Rounded, convex, black, the head, base of the antennæ, thorax 
and legs fulvous, elytra dark blue, minutely and closely punctured. 
Length 1 1/2-2 lines. 
Head impunctate without distinct frontal elevations, the clypeus 
rather broad, scarcely separated, antennæ extending below the
