Hab. N. West. Provinces. 
There are now a considerable number of species known, belon- 
ging to this genus, all being nearly identical in coloration, so that 
it becomes more and more difficult to separate them, the present 
one resembles greatly C. femoralis Jac. in its system of coloration 
but is much smaller and of nearly parallel shape, the thorax has 
the sides much less rounded and produced, the elytra are not 
depressed below the base and of dark blue, not violaceous colour 
and the punetuation is much less evenly distributed than in that 
species, lastly the four anterior tibiæ are entirely black in C. femo- 
ralis, all the other described species differ either in the colour of 
the underside or legs and in their size; the male of the present 
insect has the first joint of the anterior tarsi elongate and rather 
thickened. 
Cynorta fiavilabris n. sp. 
Metallice green or æneous, the antennæ, labrum and the legs, 
fulvous, thorax bifoveolate, impunctate, elytra finely punctured, 
the interstices slightly rugose. 
Length 1 1/2 line. 
Head impunctate, metallic green, frontal elevations strongly 
raised, transverse, clypeus in shape of narrow ridges, the anterior 
ones of which are deeply emarginate at the middle, labrum and 
palpi fulvous, antennæ rather long and robust, fulvous, the third 
joint double the length of the second, but half the length of the 
fourth joint, terminal joints shorter and rather thickened, thorax 
not longer than broad, subquadrate, the sides slightly constricted 
at the base, nearly straight, the disc impunctate, deeply bifoveolate, 
metallhic green, elytra closely and finely punctured, the interstices 
shightly wrinkled or rugose, below metallic greenish, legs fulvous, 
the tibiæ mucronate, the metatarsus of the posterior legs, scarcely 
longer than the second joint, anterior coxal cavities closed. 
Hab. Kanara, S. Bombay. 
This small species resembles greatly several of its allies in size 
and general coloration; it is closely allied to C. parvula Jac., C. 
subænea Jac. and C. granulata Jac., from the first named, it is 
distinguished by the colour of the head and thorax and by the 
robust antennæ, from the second, by the colour of the antennæ, 
labrum and legs and from C. granulata by the colour of the thorax 
below and the differently sculptured elytra. 
DORYSCUS TESTACEUS Jac. 
Ofthis highly interesting species, a single specimen was obtained 
by Mr Andrewes at Kanara ; I have also received some specimens
