Although the antennæ in this species are not covered with such 
long fringes of hairs as in the typical form, they are nevertheless 
pubescent, and the structural characters of Æyphænia are all 
present; the two specimens obtained, make the impression of being 
immature, on account of the uncertain colour of the elytra, but as 
both are exactly similar in this respect, it is no doubt the normal 
colour of the species, the latter is much smaller than 77. submetal- 
lica Jac. from Burmah, the antennæ are shorter andless pubescent, 
the thorax has not two foveæ but is transversely sulcate, besides 
other differences which are present,
