206 Mr. Arthur M. Lea's Revision of the 



The species is allied to rliagonychinus and apiciventris ; 

 from the latter it is readily distinguished by the colour of 

 the abdomen, from the former by darker legs and con- 

 siderably longer antennal rami of the male. 



Carphurus simulator, n. sp. 



(J. Reddish-flavous ; an inter-ocular fascia, scutellum, elytra 

 (these with a slight bluish gloss), metasternum, abdomen, hind 

 coxae, four hind femora and tarsi, apex of four hind tibiae, and 

 eight terminal joints of antennae black or blackish. 



Head elongate, basal half punctate, base very indistinctly strigose, 

 between eyes with a feeble curved elevation, behind which is a 

 narrow impressed line ; each side in front feebly depressed, the space 

 between feebly elevated, flat and shining. Antennae moderately 

 long ; strongly serrate ; 11th joint longer than 10th, its middle 

 thickened and apex acutely pointed. Prothorax distinctly longer 

 than wide, sides distinctly decreasing in width to base. Elytra 

 considerably wider than prothorax, moderately dilated posteriorly ; 

 densely, rather minutely and subrugosely pvmctate. Basal joint of 

 front taisi large, about half their total length, with a slightly curved 

 black-rimmed inner margin. 



Length to apex of elytra 4, of abdomen 6 mm.

 Lea). 



The inter-ocular fascia although very distinct is not 

 sharply defined on its edges ; it is, however, marked on its 

 hinder edge by a narrow, curved, impressed line. 



The species is closer to o-Jiagonj/chimis than any other 

 known to me, but the legs are differently coloured and 

 the antennal serrations, though strong, are much less 

 pronounced. 



Carphurus triimpressus, n. sp. 



(^ . Black ; elytra deep metallic blue ; muzzle, prothorax, middle 

 of lower surface of head, front coxae, base of front femora and parts of 

 two basal joints of antennae flavous, or reddish-flavous. 



Head moderately long ; distinctly punctate, base rather strongly 

 transversely strigose ; a small but rather distinct impression between 

 eyes and two larger and shallower ones in front. Antennae not 

 very long, strongly serrate; 11th joint longer than 10th, thickened 

 towards but obtusely pointed at apex. Prothorax considerably 

 longer than wide, apex very little wider than base. Elytra dis- 

 tinctly dilated posteriorly, each rather feebly separately rounded,
