288 Mr. F. Bixtes's descriptions of 



maxillary palpi broadly securiform ; mandibles curved at 

 outer edge ; head rliomboidal ; front gently declivous to 

 the epistoma ; epistoma broadly and deeply emarginate in 

 front, the suture well arched and "very strongly impressed ; 

 antennary orbits angulate, reflexed ; eyes large, reniform, 

 not depressed above, not laterally projecting ; antennre as 

 long as the head and prothorax ; joint 3 elongate, obconic; 

 4 obconic but much shorter and stouter than 3 ; 5 broader 

 than 4 and subtriangulate ; 6—10 still larger and wider, 

 depressed, subequal, not transverse, a little contracted 

 basally, squarely truncated at apex; 11 larger than 10, 

 obliquely rounded at apex ; prothorax transverse, but 

 little convex, entirely margined save the apex at the 

 middle ; lateral margins strongest, a little reflexed and 

 feebly crenulated ; apex arcuately emarginate, front angles 

 obtuse ; base broadly lobed in the middle ; sides curvedly 

 contracted anteriorly, subparallel posteriorly ; hind angles 

 acute and outwardly directed ; scutellum curvilinearly 

 triangular ; elytra considerably wider than prothorax, 

 almost gibbous [aliernnta), or gently convex (consobrina); 

 a little dilated behind the middle ; shoulders broadly 

 rounded ; apex (conjointly) narrowly rounded ; epipleural 

 fold entire behind, rapidly expanded at the base and 

 reaching up to the humeral angle ; prosternum strongly 

 compressed before the coxaB, as if longitvidinally keeled ; 

 the process horizontal, triangulate and acutely pointed 

 behind, not deeply penetrating the mesosternal cavity, 

 which is in form of an open U, having its sides vertical, 

 and horizontal on the top ; intercoxal process curvilinearly 

 triangular, but not pointed at the apex ; legs, especially 

 the anterior, elongate, slender ; front tibiae a little flexuous ; 

 1st joint of hind tarsi as long as 2nd and Srd together; 

 the last as long as the three preceding united. 



Type. — Camaria alternata. Fairmaire, Bull. Soc. 

 Ent. de France, 1875, p. xxxiii. 



Pseudocamaria consobrina, n. sp. 



Easily distinguishable from alternata by its more oblong 

 form ; the elytra regularly convex, the intervals being 

 more ( <? ) or less ( 5 ) strongly transversely rugose, the 

 colour (of the elytra) green, or brassy-green, running into 

 golden and purple on the sides, base and apex. Head 

 and prothorax dull purplish - black, the former finely, 

 clearly and remotely punctured ; the punctuation on the 

 latter is larger and closer but more obscure ; joints 5 — 10
