308 Rev. W. W. Fowler on new 



very close to C. metallica, but the margins of prothorax 

 are stronger, the sides are more evidently sinuate towards 

 base, and the base is much more strongly and plainly 

 produced into a lobe in the middle ; the elytra are more 

 shining and more obsoletely punctured, especially towards 

 base, and the colour is darker aeneous. 



In Mr. Crotch's collection, with the specimens labelled 

 " Constantia," and evidently taken in the same locality; 

 on the same card as the type is a specimen in which the 

 sides are not sinuate towards base. It is possible that 

 this may be the other sex of the species. 



Crotchia parallehi, n. s. 



Elongata, angusta, parallela, sat depressa, tota renea ; capite 

 magno fortius pixnctato, protlaorace subquadrato, diffuse evidenter 

 punctato, latei'ibus rectis, basi bisinuata ; ely tiis longis, parallelis, 

 ordiuibus punctorum distiuctis seriatim dispositis, ad apicem 

 sensim angustatis, apicibus rotundatis ; anteunis brevioribus, clava 

 magna triarticulata ; corpora subtus rufo vel rufo-piceo, pedibus 

 brunneo-rufis, genibus infuscatis. L. 5 mm. 



Narrow, elongate, and parallel ; head large, rather strongly 

 punctured ; prothorax subquadrate, nearly as long as broad, with 

 sides straight, diffusely but plainly punctured ; elytra of the same 

 breadth as prothorax, long, parallel-sided, with rows of rather 

 strong punctures, gradually narrowed from posterior third to apex ; 

 apices rounded ; legs brownish red, with the knees darker ; under 

 side ferruginous. 



Amazons ; Ega. In Mr. Gorham's collection. 



This species, although evidently belonging to this 

 genus, and strongly related to C. vcKjahunda, is different 

 from any other that I have seen, and approaches more 

 nearly to the typical longitudinal forms of Lanf/uria.

As very little appears to be known about this genus, 

 which is entirely passed over by Crotch (' Revision of the 

 Erotylicke,' Cist. Ent., i., 396) with the mere mention of 

 the references, and was evidently unknown to him, it 

 may be of use to those who are studying the grou[) to 

 give a short revision of the genus, as far as can be done
