38 Mr. Waterhouse’s Descriptions of 
Genus Lomaptera, Gory and Perch. 
Sp. 1. Lomaptera cupripes. 
Lom. viridis ; elytrorum marginibus, pedibusque cupreis. 
Long. corp. 14—15 lin. ; lat. 6—7 lin. 
Hab. apud Insulas Philippinenses. 
In Coll. Waterh., Mus. Brit. &c. 
This appears to approach very nearly the Lomaptera valida 
(Chevrolat) of MM. Gory and Percheron’s Monograph, but the 
club of the antenne is black, and not yellow, as in that species. 
The general colour of the insect is deep green; the anterior ex- 
ternal angle of the elytra, as well as the outer margins and the 
legs, are of a copper colour; the body beneath, the clypeus, and 
the basal joint of the antenne, are sometimes of the same tint; 
the remaining joints of the antennz and the palpi are black. 
The clypeus is deeply cleft, and thickly punctured, excepting in 
the middle. ‘Thorax attenuated in front, slightly produced in the 
middle of the lateral margins, but broadest behind; the anterior 
margin is also slightly produced in the middle, and the anterior 
angles are obtuse; the posterior angles are acute; the produced 
posterior portion of the thorax, which nearly hides the scutellum, 
is nearly in the form of an equilateral triangle, but with the apex 
slightly rounded; the sides of the thorax are thickly punctured, 
but the disc is smooth: the apical portion of the elytra is thickly 
covered with exceedingly minute waved ruge,—like scratches 
made by a sharply pointed instrument,—and so are the terminal 
segments of the abdomen: the sternum is rather coarsely, but not 
thickly, punctured, and there are numerous distinct punctures on 
the abdominal segments, some of which form a transverse line. 
Sp. 2. Lomaptera nigro-enea. 
Lom. nigro-enea ; corpore subtus, antennis pedibusque nigris. 
Long. corp. unc. 1; lat. 4? lin. 
Hab. apud Insulas Philippinenses. 
In Coll. Waterh., Mus. Brit. &c. 
Like the L. cupripes in form, but of a smaller size, and aneous- 
black colour; the clypeus is rather less deeply notched, but 
punctured in the same way, and so are the sides of the thorax, 
and on the apical portion of the elytra, and terminal segment of 
the abdomen, there are similar minute ruge, and two short striz 
running from the tip of the elytra parallel with the suture. The 
abdominal segments are impunctate in one of the specimens before 
me,* but in the other there are punctures on these parts, but they 
* The same specimen has the abdomen of a pitchy colour.
