The present species diverges from the Latreillian tj-pe. It is 

 more robust in form and has the tliorax and elytra considerably 

 depressed ; by some persons it would be regarded as a subgenus. 

 It has been in my collection some years, and was named in honour 

 of my friend Dr. Leach. 



Sp. 14. C. Eschscholtzi'i, Hope. 



Affinis praecedenti, at totum corpus supra et infra chalybeo- 

 violaceum. Caput inter oculos vix foveolatum, antennis 

 atro-violaceis. Thorax depressus, vix convexus, lateralibus 

 marginibus valde elevatis, angulis posticis parum latioribus 

 et acutis. Elytra chalybeo-violacea, splendida, sub lente 

 tenuissime punctulata, marginibus externe elevatis. Pedes 

 violacei, tarsis infra piceis capillis obsitis. 

 Habitat in Manilla. 



The above species is named after Dr. Frederick Eschscholtz, 

 and is closely allied to Leachii ; it was brought to England by Mr. 

 Cuming the conchologist, and appears to be taken in Manilla in 

 extraordinary numbers.
