wanting on a space near the front angle. Scutellum 

 finely but rather closely punctured. Elytra about 1 line 

 in length and rather broader than long, brassy -green, 

 shading into bluish at the sides and extremity, very 

 shining, finely and sparingly punctured, the piuictures 

 almost wanting towards the extremity, and closer together 

 along the suture, especially at the base. Hind body quite 

 black. Legs rather short. 



Kga; a single female. 



This species is again very closely allied to T. Icnta, but 

 is shorter but not narrower; the elytra are distinctly more 

 quadrate, and the legs a little" shorter. 



7. TcEnodema tarsalis, n. sp. Nigra, nitida, capite, 

 thorace, elytrisque vii'idi-i:eneis ; antennarum basi, palpis, 

 tarsisque anterioribus testaceis; capite thoraceque fortiter, 

 elytris parce subtiliter, punctatis, punctis suturam versus 

 magis numerosis. Long. corp. 5| liu. 



Antennae slender, just over a line in length, black, Avith 

 the two basal joints yellow, the apical joint nearly black ; 

 the 3rd joint one and a half times as long as the 2nd. 

 Head small, above shining green, the front part coarsely 

 ))unctured, not so closely along the middle as in the lateral 

 depressions; a space in front of the vertex impimctate, the 

 vertex punctured, but the punctures almost absent from 

 its middle. Thorax about as long as broad, a little 

 rounded at the sides, scarcely at all narrowed behind, 

 shining, brassy-green, coarsely punctured, the })unctures 

 sparing towards the margins; a space near the front angles 

 quite impunctate. Elytra about ^ lin. in length, scarcely 

 so broad as long, greenish-brassy, more bluish at the sides 

 and extremity, finely and sparingly pimctured. Hind 

 body entirely black ; legs rather short. 



Ega ; a single female. 



I am doubtful whether this will prove a distinct species 

 from T. quddrata or not; it is a little smaller than 

 T. quadrata, the head, thorax, and especially the elytra, 

 are a little narrower ; the antennae are a little shorter and 

 tlie front tarsi rather less dilated.
