28 Mr. F. P/Pascoe's Descriptions of New Genera 



scence, which on the mesosternum and abdomen verges on silvery ; 

 eyes, mandibles, and three spots on each elytron black j antennae 

 rather longer than the body, in the male setaceous, none of the 

 joints spined ; legs with femora and tibiae brown at their tips. 



Length 5^ lines. 



Cli/tus assimiUs, Hope, is the nearest ally of this pretty species, 

 which I have named after Joseph S. Baly, Esq., author of a " Mo- 

 nograph of the Hispidce," and the possessor of an unrivalled col- 

 lection of Phytophaga. 



Clytus Bowringii. 



C. elongatus, olivaceo-cinereus ; elytris linea lunari pone hu- 

 meros et fasciis duabus raedianis, nigris ; antennis pedibusque 

 gracillimis. 



China (Hong Kong). 



Narrow and elongate, with an olive greyish pubescence; pro- 

 thorax oblong, swollen in the middle ; elytra with a large lunar 

 mark behind the shoulder, a black rather oblique fascia behind, 

 and another broader one before the apex, black ; antennae slender, 

 not quite the length of the body, the first and fourth joints acutely 

 spined ; legs dull testaceous, very slender and elongate, especially 

 the posterior pair. 



Length 5 lines. 



Belonging to the elongatulus group. I have dedicated it to 

 J. C. Bowring, Esq., who has most assiduously investigated the 

 Entomology of the island of which it is a native. 



Brachytria pulcherrima. 



B. purpureo-rubra ; prothorace lateribus fuscis ; elytris vitta 



laterali viridi-resplendente. 

 Australia (Moreton Bay). 



Purplish red, furnished with many long scattered hairs ; pro- 

 thorax thickly punctured, with the sides brown; elytra narrower 

 posteriorly ; bicarinate with coarse confluent punctures, and 

 having from the shoulders to near the apex a brilliant stripe of 

 golden green, which, as it passes into the red, becomes purple and 

 then violet ; legs, antennae and under surface brownish red ; apex 

 of the elytron fasciculate. 



Length 7 lines. 



This beautiful insect is unquestionably congeneric with B. late- 

 brosa, Newm. I should have hesitated to unite it with B. gulosa, 

 the type of the genus.
