side. Elytra impunctate, with four largish spots at the base ; in 

 the middle of each elytron is a transverse patch, which joins a 

 second longitudinal patch placed on the outer margin ; behind the 

 middle are two sutural spots ; and on each elytron is a spot very 

 near the apex, and another close above this : all these spots are 

 formed of scales of a very delicate green colour, those on the 

 elytra however have each a scaleless space in the middle. The 

 sides of the meso- and meta-sternum, and of the two first seg- 

 ments of the abdomen, are adorned with green scales. 



Sp. 7. Pachyrhynchus speciosus, Waterh. 



Splendide cupreus, vel niger ; elytris striato-punctatis ; capite 

 lineis tribus longitudinalibus ; thorace annulis tribus elongato- 

 ovatis ; elytro utroque lineis duabus transversis humeralibus 

 ad maginem elytrorum externum confluentibus et prope 

 suturam ; duabus centralibus et ad suturam et ad marginem 

 externum ductis nee non confluentibus ; et lined aream 

 semilunarem circumdante apicali, ornato, his lineis viridi- 

 squamosis.

About equal in size to the P. moniliferus. The ground colour 

 is usually like burnished copper, but sometimes black. On the 

 head is a broad and deep impression between the eyes, and this is 

 continuous with the usual excavation on the base of the rostrum. 

 The scales forming the markings are of a very pale green colour, 

 and almost destitute of metallic lustre. The head has three 

 longitudinal marks ; one central, and one under each eye. The 

 thorax is most indistinctly punctured, and has three elongated 

 oval rings, of pale scales, placed lengthways, one on each side, and 

 one dorsal, which encloses an area scarcely broader than the 

 encircling line. The elytra are rather more elongate than in 

 P. moniliferus : at the base of each elytron is an elongated oval 

 area transversely disposed, enclosed by a narrow band of scales, 

 and extending from the outer margin nearly to the suture ; on the 

 apical portion is a curved area similarly inclosed, and besides 

 these markings are two narrow transverse bands, which become 

 confluent near the outer margin of the elytron and run backwards 

 to join the apical curved marks — sometimes the two dorsal bands 

 are joined also at the suture of the elytra. A line of scales on 

 the prosternum nearly encircles the base of the anterior legs : the 

 sides and central portion of the meso-sternum, nearly the whole 

 of the meta-sternum, and the sides of the first, second, third, and
